The boys and I have finished up about three-quarters of the brief initial campaign I created to help us learn the Alien RPG system. In our most recent episode, their hard-nosed but kindly sergeant sacrificed himself to save the rest of the Colonial Marine squad from a throng of nasty xenomorphs that had nearly breached the jungle outpost where the team was holed up. When we resume the campaign in a week or so, the boys -- whose characters are now corporals -- will be thrust into command of the squad, and will be charged with planning the attack on a secret government installation that's been overrun by the very aliens they were studying. I can't wait to show you the map. It's going to be insane.
