About the adventure
Published by Free League, Destroyer of Worlds is an action-packed cinematic scenario that serves as a perfect introduction to Alien RPG. And if you ask me, it’s one of the best stories written over the last 10 years. You will play Colonial Marines ordered to recover a couple of AWOL soldiers on a frozen colony about to break out in rebellion. The characters, the setting, the situations you will have to jump in, everything is made to give you the Alien vibes you have been looking for. The scenario should last only 6 sessions. However, it’s also an excellent introduction for the Frontier War official campaign. If we end up having a group working well together and willing to keep playing, I will likely offer you to carry on with the Colonial Marines Operation Manual’s campaign afterward. What if you don’t know anything about the game? It’s perfectly okay, I will explain the rules as we play. Game mechanics are pretty simple, with a strong focus on the cinematic experience and characters’ agendas that rarely all go the same way. Treason and character deaths are always a possibility here, if you aren’t killed by a deadly monster with metal teeth first. 🔹 A cinematic and immersive experience 🔹 A strong focus on the players’ agenda and interactions 🔹 A mature and deadly hard sci-fi world, where death is never far 🔹 An easy-to-learn system, based on Free League’s Year Zero Engine 📘 I am a Free Agent, part of Free League’s ambassador program for conventions. I ran literally hundreds of Alien RPG games during different events, and every game I present on Startplaying has been thoroughly playtested before with other groups. This is allowing me to offer you the most immersive experience possible, with official maps, artworks, music and animated scenes.
Game style
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
📅 I usually offer games on weekdays. I can do evenings for American Eastern/Western times, as well as for OCE and East Asian time zones. I only do afternoons for EU friends however. If you want to play at a time that isn't listed here, feel free to leave me a private message to see if we can set up something.
