Daria for Alien: The Roleplaying Game

Dread builds over a session. Daria keeps the log of everything that went wrong aboard, in the order it happened, and who was in the room when it did.

An Alien game is a story told under pressure, and the details that matter are the ones nobody writes down in the moment: who opened the hatch, what the company rep said in the corridor, when the crew first heard the noise in the vents. Daria records the session and writes the recap the same evening, so the mission log exists even though everyone was too busy surviving to keep one.

Cinematic scenarios are often a single session. Daria records the one-shot, recaps it, and keeps it searchable like any other — and when a campaign runs for months, the record keeps growing with it, so a colony, a contract or a crewmate from early on is still a question away.

Ship names, colonies, corporations and the crew’s own call signs are proper nouns a transcriber has never heard. Add them to your campaign glossary — any player can — and Daria transcribes them the way your table says them.

If you play on Foundry VTT

The Daria module captures rolls from any Foundry system, the Alien RPG included, and places each one in the transcript at the second it happened — so a roll sits next to what was said about it. The deeper enrichment Daria does for D&D 5e, reading spell slots and item uses out of the message, is 5e-specific and does not apply here.

Questions about the Alien RPG

Does Daria track Stress or Panic?

No. She records the moment a character panicked and what happened next, but she keeps no Stress level and rolls nothing on the Panic table. The sheet and the GM stay in charge of that.

Will she give away a crewmate’s secret agenda?

She only knows what reaches the table: what is said aloud and, with the Foundry module, the rolls and pictures everyone is shown. An agenda handed over on a card or in a private message never reaches her; one a player reveals at the table does, because then it is part of the story.

Does she work for Cinematic one-shots?

Yes. A one-shot is one session: she records it, writes the recap and keeps it searchable. Nothing about her depends on the campaign running long.
