An Italian publisher sells (sold?) a booklet converting Aliens to Basic (the original version of Basic; the small booklet) and in game it works pretty well.

It required a referee to play, and it was <a href="http://rpggeek.com/rpgitem/47667/recon" rel="nofollow">labeled on the front of the box as a "roleplaying game"</a>.faoladhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691952430041394614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-28121433403723724532013-06-19T08:51:37.923-07:002013-06-19T08:51:37.923-07:00The fourth printing from1989 has the minis rules i...The fourth printing from1989 has the minis rules included.

The Rifts Conversion Book states there is conversion info in Revised Recon 2nd Edition; so perhaps I have the 1st edition of the book.<br /><br />This may be inaccurate but I believe "Recon" was originally a miniatures-based table-top war game, and "Revised Recon" was the first stab at turning the war game into an RPG...however, it was written prior to Palladium getting their "universal system" groove on (same as the Palladium RPG, for example).JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532311924539491087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-85468165494769181692013-06-19T07:54:46.344-07:002013-06-19T07:54:46.344-07:00Didn't Revised Recon include a conversion for ...Didn't <i>Revised Recon</i> include a conversion for the Palladium house system? I thought it did. Anyway, I used to own the original <i>Recon</i>, which was where the percentile-stat system came from.
