Low-fantasy D&D aliens?@rpg I want to stick aliens 👽🛸 into my next D&D campaign. My idea is to have little grey men show up in a flying saucer and abduct the party. However, I'm worried that this is too comprehensible for the average #DnD character. I want the PCs to be confused, but not the players! What's the weirdest alien you've ever thrown at your D&D party?Side note, I also want to give the baddies #mechs. How do I mechanically handle this? #DM #dming #ttrpg #scifi #fantasy #mech

The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic Earth where dimensional rifts have torn open, bringing magic, monsters, and alien technology to the planet. This fusion of genres allows players to encounter everything from high-tech cyborgs and vampires to dragons and ancient deities. Rifts offers an unprecedented amount of flexibility for creating characters and stories. You can be anything from a power-armored soldier to a mystic who commands the forces of magic, or even a dimensional traveler with access to alien technologies.
