Description
This Alien RPG is the official ALIEN tabletop role playing game—a universe of body horror and corporate brinkmanship. This is where synthetic people play god while space truckers and marines serve host to newborn ghoulish creatures. It’s a harsh and unforgiving universe and you are nothing if not expendable. Stay alive if you can. The ALIEN tabletop role playing game is a beautifully illustrated full-color hardcover book of 392 pages. It presents both the world of ALIEN in the year 2183 and a fast and effective ruleset designed specifically to enhance the ALIEN experience. The game supports two distinct game modes:
- Firstly cinematic play is based on pre-made scenarios that emulate the dramatic arc of an ALIEN film. Designed to be played in a single session, this game mode emphasizes high stakes and fast and brutal play. You are not all expected to survive. The core rule book has one introductory Cinematic scenario, Hope’s Last Day.
- Secondly campaign play is designed for longer continuous play with the same cast of player characters over many game sessions. This lets you explore the ALIEN universe freely, sandbox style. The core rule book contains random tables and other powerful tools to quickly create star systems, colonies, missions, encounters, and NPCs for your campaign.
The Alien RPG rules are based on the acclaimed Year Zero Engine, used in award-winning games such as Tales from the Loop and Mutant: Year Zero, but adapted and further developed to fully support and enhance the core themes of ALIEN: horror and action in the cold darkness of space.
