Hello Booker Grimm. The ruleset is not dead, we work on Alien 2.0 that will bring several features and enhancements as mentioned in the other thread, but there has been setback due to real life problems. We are now slowly up to speed. In the meantime we released module for the ruleset with tokens, so there are updates ;)
Half of the work for 2.0 is already done. Aside from that - there is no other content that we can bring - we wait for the Colonial Marines ;)
