Alien: The Roleplaying Game | Campaign

About the adventure

" What we hoped to achieve was to meet our makers. To get answers. Why they even made us in the first place..." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- INTERFACE 3301 — WEYLAND-YUTANI — FROM NETWORK COMCON NODE 1010141 — EIJA33477975 MESSAGE BEGINS. NEW LIFE DISCOVERED. CLASSIFICATION, EXTREMOPHILE. SERVICES REQUIRED. CONTRACT FOLLOWS. AWAITING ACKNOWLEDGMENT… The company found a new lifeform, and they want you to study it. Their offer’s uncharacteristically generous—you catalog this organism, determine how they can use it, and bring it back so they can slap their patent on it. Fairly routine stuff. In exchange, they'll hook you up with a cushy corporate department head position, secure you a book deal, and make sure the institute of your choice gives you tenure. Did I mention the money? There’s a lot of it. Simple survey, sample, and analysis job. Seemed too good to be true. Of course it is. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The ideal sci-fi horror experience, ALIEN will throw you into situations you never thought possible, and force you to confront your worst fears as you pitted against the iconic franchise's perfect killer: The Xenomorph! "Remember, in space no one can hear you scream..." * This game comes complete with pre-generated character, ready for you to jump straight into the action. * Work together to come up with creative solutions to problems that would make a weaker person give up. Manage your supplies and your stress levels, trying to survive in tight vents and shadowed corridors. * Experience true fear, with a tense atmosphere, a claustrophobic setting and gruesome body horror. All of this whilst knowing that all you can do is try to complete your objective. Surviving is an unlikely outcome...
