Relevant To Your Interests: All Aliens, All the Time

A while back, I wrote about robots for your everyday wear and use. This month, though, I’ve gotten much deeper into The X-Files AND I’ve started watching Futurama. Because that’s how I enjoy pop culture — with at least a three-year delay and a lot of deep love. Needless to say, aliens have been on my mind as of late. And probably they’re on your mind too, since that’s how this kind of stuff seems to work. So without further adieu, here’s a few alien-type goods for ya.

Alien Frontiers, $60, a resource management game, but with aliens. Among the Stars, $37, a card drafting game, but with aliens. Escape From the Aliens in Outer Space: Ultimate Edition, $29, a lying game, but with aliens. And finally, the game that lets you pretend to be an alien, Star Wars Force and Destiny, the most recent iteration of Star Wars tabletop RPG. Get the core rulebook for $44, the Game Master’s Kit for $16.50. If you’re totally new to tabletop RPG, maybe get the beginner game to ease on in (that’s $25.29).

    • My friends and I went to Area 51 (well as far as you can go). We took our picture next to the sign that reads “No Photography Allowed”. But we did not cross the line. We could see the snipers–uh, guards watching us.
