Haven't run an RPG session for a couple of months now but over the summer the two overseas-located players will be visiting the homeland and we're going to try and get an in-person game or two (we primarily play online due to being spread across continents).

They voted for another Mothership game so I'm going to run the first (WIP) scenario in the upcoming Mothership "intro" module, Another Bug Hunt. There's a classic Mothership module called The Haunting of Ypsilon-14 which is very closely modelled on Alien, and ABH is, you guessed it, Aliens (but with psychic crab monsters).

Since we'll be in person it means I need to figure out physical props etc - one of the advantages of online play is the ability to easily make very cool looking maps and character tokens to use on Roll20. In person, I need to do a lot of printing or make do with whiteboard marker on a plain grid - not sure which I'll use this time but I will no doubt be raiding the kids' Star Wars Lego collection for figures and props (my existing RPG Lego cache being D&D themed). On the other hand, something that's harder to do online is using atmospheric sound/music, so I'll be able to have some fun with Alien Jungle Rainstorm Thunder Ambience 10 Hours Youtube vids.
