Hope's Last Day | Sci-Fi Survival Horror | Learn to Play Alien
Alien: The Roleplaying Game | One-Shot
About the adventure
Shortly after Miranda Reynolds arrived, the xenomorphs appeared. Blood thirsty monsters, the xenomorphers slaughtered every one in Hadley's Hope, except for you. For now. Your only hope of survival is stealing Miranda's shuttle, but that means going back in. On the brightside, Miranda's probably dead. Hope's Last Day is an introductory one-shot for Alien RPG that leans into survival horror and dungeon crawling. Fans of the Alien Franchise will also recognize Hadley's Hope as the setting of Aliens, the second movie, prior to the movie's events.

How to prepare
The campaign will be run on Roll20 with Discord for notes and messages. As such, players are expected to have: - a Roll20 account, - a Discord account, - a good internet connection, - and a microphone.
What I provide
Tangibly, I bring a fully realized Roll20 game (macros, pre-made characters, maps, handouts, etc.) To help make Alien easier to learn this also includes a rules cheatsheet plus a Roll20 guide in the Discord. (None of which you need to read.) Intangibly, I've run and taught TTRPGs for a decade. This includes multiple Alien RPG campaigns and over a dozen runs of Hope's Last Day.
Gameplay details
When joining this campaign, I will send you my Lines & Veils (content boundaries) along with any relevant links. ("Prep Material.") I encourage you to add your own, either before or during session 0. If you become uncomfortable during play, please notify me. You can do so verbally or messaging me an "X" (stop) or "N" (getting uncomfortable). At which, I'll remove the offending content or fast-forward through it. However, depending on how obvious what the offending content is, I may need to ask about it later to update the group's Lines & Veils. You are, of course, free to step away from the game as necessary.

How will character creation work
Players are highly encouraged to choose a pregen, as they hook into each other and the scenario. Their secret agendas create an amazing roleplay experience. However, players may make their own character using the Core Rulebook. They cannot takes weapons larger than a pistol.
