Contributions are welcome and encouraged! For now, only a resource on the messageboard. Though, if I ever get this next Trophy Case done, it might include this, and become so big I'll have to make it Supplement VI: Trophy Case...
Well then...(muffles the Insane cackling in his head):
A)Where Are the Aliens From? (1D6)
1) Within the Solar System and documented on our Star Charts (Mars, Venus, etc)
2) A planet hidden from view (Counter-orbital, just beyond current range of telescopes, cloaked planet)
3) Another Solar System, Jump technology used
4) A massive planet or Worldship capable of long-range travel, full of just-awoken citizens(original home or homes destroyed)
5) A different Plane of Existence
6) They are Transhumanist US from the far Future! The current Timeline MUST be changed!(gasp!)
B)What Capabilities do the Aliens Have?(1D6)
1-2) Magic
3-5) Super-technology, mostly (Roll 1D6, 1-4=Mechanical/electronic, 5-6=mostly Biomechanical/genetic)
6) Both! Pray for Earth...
C)What kind of Aliens do we Face? (Roll 1D10)
1-2) Just like us (normal Human with odd skin or hair or fashion-sense)
3-4) Bumpy Forehead/Pointy Ears Advanced model (Half-alien)
5-6) Highly Advanced/Evolved (roll 1D6, 1-4= Alien, 5-6= Deity from Big Bang Supplement-Abilities can be Hi-tech or actual Magic)
7-8) The Race to Come (Android/cyborg-Daily Power could be all identical or different per individual/caste, 50%)
9-10) Progenitor Uplifts ( Half-man from Trophy case Vol.2 Issue 4. May have identical powers or have different species/castes, 50%)
D) How Many Types of Aliens do we face (Roll 1D6)
1-2) Single species/monoculture
3-4) Master Race/Slave Races(Roll Once on table C for the Overlords, roll again 1D3 times on Table C for Servants)
5-6) Dark Federation of WAR (all of them! Yikes! Roll 1D6, 1-3= a Master Race and servants of all the Others, 4-6= One Big Happy Society of Conquest)
E)Why Kidnap the Humans?(Roll 1D10) Then (Roll 1D6, 1-4='only one reason, 5-6=1D3+1 Reasons)
1) Need slaves for dangerous or menial jobs
2) Future Citizenship as a Colony-'Once your Planet surrenders we will train you as Regional Governors. MY planet was conquered only a century ago, and look how well we live now! Now hold still while I adjust the Teaching helmet...'
3) Raw materials for bio-weapons or servants
4) Healthy organs for transplants-'What an honor to be so chosen by our Masters! I'll need your full name to inscribe on the Obelisk of Sacrifice... )
5) Ruling race(s) are Sterile- Humans face forced conversion into another race and ordered to breed
6) As (6) but may stay Human, we're compatible enough...
7) Experimentation! (Roll 1D6, 1=Behavioral, 2=Chemical ,3=Genetic, 4=Mechanical Augmentation, 5=Brain Transference, 6=Roll again 1D3+1 times, ignoring 6... )
8) As (2) but are shipping to next Planet of conquest.
9) The Aliens want to settle down, and 'There are just too many of you to share the planet with. Don't worry, your disintegration will be quite painless'...
10) Earth Primates make good eatin'....yum!
F) What Advantages do the Poor Earthlings Have? (Roll 1D6) Another 1D6 roll for 1-4=One Advantage, 5-6=1D3+1 Advantages
1) FIGHTIN' SPIRIT!!! ('We're Doomed aren't we?' )
2) Numbers (Roll 1D6, 1=3 to 1, 2=10 to 1, 3-4=100 to 1, 5-6=1000 to 1...WAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGGHHH!!!!!!
3) Ingenuity ("SIR! The Earth Animal got into the Galley and now Deck 4 is flooded with some kind of toxic gas! And there's one in Engineering, we thought it would be adorable to give her a left-handed Stem-sealer and a broken Visio-screen to play with but NOW she's headed to our Weapons Bay wearing some kind of Armored Walker! Orders, please?' )
4) Dirty Fighters ('HOW DARE YOU! We give you a Timetable, tell you the Rules, name our Forces location and Armaments-and you attack us from ambush, roll ROCKS at us and use ARTILLERY STRIKES? Don't you know that those are BANNED by the Treaty of Phaeton III ? ')
5) A Technique/technology that they never discovered ('...and then he waved his hands and sang something and three of those winged Octopi-Flying Lion things showed up and ATE six of us! No Sir I have NOT been drinking!')
6) Planet Earth is Planet Death! ('...the Brazilian Squad had to crash-land after Thermal Shock evaporated our circuitry, the Canadian Squad has Lubricant Failure on nearly all the weapons turrets and the African Squad-does anybody know what kind of bio-soldier this 'Hippopotamus' is? Look, just get everyone back into Low-orbit and...WHAT? They flew right into the Intakes? How stupid are these 'seagull' creatures?')
I'm not going to make any dice rolls-assuming Scott wants to use them then he can have the honor.
