ALIEN RPG | Building Better Worlds - Adventure and Exploration!

Alien: The Roleplaying Game, Year Zero Engine | Campaign

About the adventure

The official campaign for ALIEN RPG: "Building Better Worlds" runs through 7 official expeditions suitable for Space Explorers! Be part of the "away team" and help "The Lost Colonies" return to humanity. These expeditions all connect to each other with an exciting metaplot and a grand finale adventure that will affect all of humanity. You'll also get to play as a Space Colonist and tame the wilds of a newfound planet. Tap into resource deposits and see if you can strike it rich, or maybe even find some alien specimens. Colonists may be planet-bound, but you'll still be dealing with local troubles, major storms, dangerous wildlife, and the occasional space virus. 🕵️‍♂️Take on the role a Space Explorer in search of new worlds! 👷‍♂️ Build a Better World through Exploration, Prospecting and Colony Management! 👾Investigate Strange Creature Sightings and contend with Space Pirates! "To Find and Forge Our Future." That's what the pamphlet said. Find a new home amongst the stars, build yourself a new life. Now you're on a massive colony ship 2 years from Earth as part of "The Great Mother Mission", a political endeavor to reunite some long lost space colonies that haven't been heard from in over 70 years. You'll be facing down deadly environments, hideous monsters, political activists, corporate snakes, and treacherous archaeologists. "The journey of a thousand light years begins with the f irst step. Take that step with us, to a new world, a new home, a new adventure! Dare to live the life you’ve always wanted!" "Come join the great United American adventure! Three meals a day, a ship to call home, fair wages for all. Make your fortune and see the open skies of the cosmos. Opportunity awaits you sir—opportunity awaits!"

Additional details

How to prepare

Discord is required for voice chat. I also use the Foundry Virtual Tabletop which runs best on Google Chrome and will have all of your character information already filled out. Foundry VTT is free to players and requires no download. The Foundry VTT contains a dice roller and info from the Core Rulebook for reference.

What I provide

Ambient soundscapes, custom maps, dynamic lighting, animated visual effects for weapons, sound effects, (awful) character voices, and thematic music.

Gameplay details

Gameplay will be cinematic, combat will be fast paced, and exploration will have a tense and investigative feel. Each adventure is custom tailored to the group as based on your Career and Skill selections.

How will character creation work

The character options will be made available to all on a private discord server. Actual character creation will be done prior to Session 0, and I'll be available to assist you with the process. Session 0 will be used to determine your setting, the type of adventures that you want, and establish some character backgrounds in the group. Plan on creating TWO characters for use, just in case one character dies or you want to change your play style. One character should be designed for life on a Colony, the other will be set to Explore the stars. Totally new to ALIEN RPG? GREAT! Let me know and I'll get you introduced to the basics.
