This is the official ALIEN tabletop roleplaying game—a universe of body horror and corporate brinkmanship; 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 roleplaying game is a beautifully illustrated full-colour hardcover book of 392 pages; both presenting 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: 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 emphasises high stakes and fast and brutal play. You are not all expected to survive. The core rulebook contains one introductory Cinematic scenario; Hope’s Last Day. Campaign play is designed for longer continuous play with the same cast of player characters over many game sessions; letting you explore the ALIEN universe freely; sandbox style. The core rulebook contains random tables and other powerful tools to quickly create star systems; colonies; missions; encounters; and NPCs for your campaign. The rules of the game 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.
