Alien: The Roleplaying Game | Campaign
About the adventure
*You don’t get paid enough to deal with monsters. But hold your breath, count to three, and play your cards right with this one, and you just might walk away very rich. Oh, who am I kidding? You’re all going to die.* Chariot of the Gods is a Cinematic Scenario for ALIEN RPG written by sci-fi novelist Andrew Gaska. It is a thrilling, terror-filled ride into deep space where no one can hear you scream. It is designed for 3–5 players, is suitable for new players with an easy-to-learn system, and takes between three and five sessions to complete. Pregenerated characters are provided.

How to prepare
Mic will be needed, computer or tablet able to run Foundry VTT in a web interface.
What I provide
I have the full suite of Free League goodies for Alien RPG, with tokens, rollable tables, maps and funky dice. I've run this module five or six times since it was released. There will be lots of time to devote to making sure all the players interact with the universe and each other. Combat will be short, decisive and rewarding for the inventive. I tend not to use ambient music as it distracts me from listening to players.
Gameplay details
Foundry (free account registration required) will be used for maps, character sheets and rolls. Discord will be used for voice and (if desired) video. There will be a short Session 0 to go over the pre-generated characters provided by the module author, ask questions about the system, and run through what players do/do not want from their space horror. As written, this module can be violent and gory. A mature outlook is encouraged, although making sure everyone has fun is the name of the game. As such, we will use the full suite of Foundry safety tools in a card deck. There is an open door policy and players can message me on Discord if they believe something problematic is coming up.
