Grey Aliens?

Out of curiousity, has anyone done stats for "The Greys" aka "Grey Aliens"?

I know Chill/Cryptworld is more Horror than Sci-Fi based, but I figure there is enough overlap to include these little buggers.

Soon as I learn the system I'll whip some up if not, but figured I could save myself the trouble if so.

Forgot to mention "The X-Files" as another source of inspiration for the game I want to run, so I'll need some Greys. ;)

Actually, sci-fi horror is somewhat supported by Cryptworld, as evidenced by the Criswells (inspired by Village of the Damned and Scanners); Preceptors (inspired by They Live); Space Blobs (The Blob, of course); and Trilliads (Day of the Triffids). So coming up with some alien greys should be fairly straight forward. I would just "reskin" the Preceptors as the simplest option.

Of course. Just didn't want to be too presumptuous, since I'm sure some folks might see them as more "straight up" sci-fi than horror (though I think the idea of being abducted, experimented on, etc, is pretty darn horrific!)

Good call on re-skinned Preceptors. I was thinking of them having psychic abilities of some kind, so a mash with Criswells might be in order too.

Once I get comfortable with the system I'll think on it further. :)
