About the adventure
- The infinite darkness and silence of space surrounding you - Crewmates only interested in saving their own skins (or paychecks) - A perfect organism, unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality - I can't lie to you about your chances but... you have my sympathies. Who is this game for? Fans of Alien, Dead Space, Blade Runner, The Expanse, The Abyss, Event Horizon, The Thing, and Metroid! In this campaign, you play a ragtag crew of freelance trouble-shooters exploring the Frontier chasing that dream of a cushy retirement back in the Core. We will be playing through a number of different story arcs based on scenarios published for Alien RPG and Mothership. We will begin with "Chariot of the Gods". In this scenario, your new assignment is to investigate a missing science vessel, the Cronus, which has mysteriously reappeared after 70 years lost in space. What you discover will be a horror unlike anything the galaxy has ever faced. Xenomorphs aren't the only nightmares out there... Cover Art by Per (@perrypherie on Instagram). Used with permission.
