👩🚀 ALIEN RPG | Hope's Last Day | Sci-Fi Horror 18+
Alien: The Roleplaying Game | One-Shot
About the adventure
🎬 When corporate employee Russ Jorder returned to the colony carrying an unknown infection, no one expected the nightmare that would follow. He died within hours, but something else survived—something vile, lurking in the shadows of the base. Now, chilling rumors spread: more colonists have fallen, victims of an unidentified, inhuman presence. The question is no longer what killed them… but who’s next? 🎲 Hope's Last Day tells the story of the final hours of Hadley's Hope, all through the eyes of five colonist workers. It offers a brief taste of cinematic gameplay and drops the players straight into the action. The pre-generated characters all have their own Agendas, Buddies, and Rivalries, but together they have one desperate collective mission: to escape LV-426 alive.
Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.
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.

When writing about Uriel, it is impossible not to mention his session control and work with players. He is an outstanding game master who, by telling a story, draws us, the players, into a world that lives and reacts to the actions and mistakes that the players make. He is an extremely open and communicative man with outstanding preparation for each of his sessions, if you are looking for a game master who devotes the heart and soul of the session, Uriel is the best choice. I had the pleasure and honor of playing dozens of sessions with him in different worlds from Lovecraft's horror to Pony Ponies, which were in a strong body horror. If that didn't convince you, then I don't know what can convince you... I know, play and check it out for yourself and then you will remember my words and say he was fucking right. :D

Uriel is an extremely distinctive Game Master. I've never experienced such an insane review of facial expressions and voice-acting skills with any other GM. The range of sounds is out of this world. Apart from those "special effects," his descriptions (both the choice of words and the utterance structures) are also worth mentioning. He has an outstanding skill for building tension and respect for the unknown. I also entertained every interaction Uriel played with the NPCs. Best elder ladies/grandmas roleplay ever! xD nice moments of comedic relief between the next dreadful scenes. But the most important for me as a player who loves horror and loves being frightened (and the main reason I always return for more games to Uriel) is his high culture as a person and the overwhelming atmosphere that he can create around the table - comfortable and respectful. 😌 Good horror sessions are like BDSM - feelings of trust and safety are the core of the whole experience. tl;dr Highly recommend this GM - 10/10⭐

Uriel has an incredible talent for creating an atmosphere of tension, unease, and surprise, yet he never forgets about the comfort of his players. His sessions are filled with challenges, tough moral and emotional choices that leave a lasting impression long after the game ends. As a Game Master, he isn't afraid to touch difficult topics, making his stories even more engaging and profound. He is also a master at designing unforgettable characters and worlds. From the very first moment I was completly immersed in his world thanks to his incredible voice acting.
Additional details
How to prepare
Please have a working microphone, stable internet connection and head full of ideas. My favorite kind of player is a happy player. That is why the supply of water and a cup of your favorite tea and comfy place to play would be good preparation. Playing with camera on would be appreciated, but is not obligatory.
What I provide
➣ Forge/Foundry VTT with: - character sheets with pre-generated characters (that can be adjusted with details like name/gender/nationality), - ambient music + sound effects, - graphics representing NPCs, localisations and key moments; ➣ Playing with my camera on helps everyone at the table feel the mood of the scene and also being scared by my unhuman facial expressions. ;) ➣ I use a good quality microphone to make sure that everyone would “enjoy” every another meeting with variety of next monsters, lunatics and abominations. ➣ About sticking to the rulebooks… I am the biggest fan of my players’ characters and I like following their awesome and creative ways of dealing with the monstrosity of my worlds. The 'Rule of Cool' is applied on my daily basis. As much as I love letting them shine and have their epic moments, I also admire bringing to them hard consequences of living in this particular universe full of cruel and horrible things.
Gameplay details
➣ The need for a break can be reported in any possible way (PM, Foundry chat, Discord chat or even verbally during scene). Your comfort is my highest priority, ➣ Build-in safety tools on Foundry VTT (i.e. ❌Card); In addition: ➣ Before the start of our session, I will once more bring up the general rules around the table (to make sure that we all are on the same page), ➣ As well as I can also explain the basic rules of the game system (depending on the players' needs).
