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 first 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!"

About me
Hey there! I'm Luke and I run/teach my favorite tabletop games. My goal is to provide a consistent, high-quality experience in a player-friendly environment. My games start on time, typically with a 5-10 minute recap of the last session and any important in-game events or game-related updates. I only host games that I’m confident and passionate about, so you can trust that every session is well-prepared and engaging. Feedback is always welcome from my players, and I make every effort to improve on areas where needed.

Creating your character
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.
Beginners are welcome. The ALIEN RPG is an easy to learn system and great for sci-fi action. Intrigued, but still want to know more? Send me a message and I'll answer any questions you have.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
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 a browser-based VTT that is free to players and requires no download. The Foundry VTT contains a dice roller and info from the Core Rulebook for reference.
What Luke The GM brings to the table
Ambient soundscapes, custom maps, dynamic lighting, animated visual effects for weapons, sound effects, (awful) character voices, and thematic music.
Homebrew rules
Homebrew creatures, custom mechanics, items and talents. I'm a fan of "Rule of Cool" but I work to keep it within the realm of plausibility and the rules where possible.
