Learn to Play ALIEN in 2 Hours
Alien: The Roleplaying Game | One-Shot
About the adventure
✓ Just 2 hours to see if you like the game and my style as GM! ✓ Jump right into a bad situation and try to be the final survivor ✓ Learn the rule as we play instead of a big explanation ✓ No experience with the game or the ruleset required ✓ Premade characters let you get right into the action ✓ Immersive experience animated overlays and thematic music Four days ago, wildcatter Russ Jordan came back to the colony, infected with something. He died, and some snake-like parasite disappeared into the guts of the base. Crisis or not, you have a job to do. So yesterday, you headed out on a maintenance run, happy to leave base until the crisis blows over. But your tractor broke down. No one is coming to help. The only communications you picked up on are garbled, panicked even. There’s no option but to walk back, and see what the hell is going on…
Come learn how to play ALIEN! I'll walk you through it and set you up for a horror, survival challenge! This is an open and welcoming table, no discriminatory attitudes will be tolerated.

I had the opprotunity to join a game learning a new system. It was a short introduction but it was a ton of fun. Chandler was an excellent guide for us new players and allowed us to really explore the space given our limited time together. If time lines match up I'll definitely be looking forward to playing with him again. Well worth it imo.

It does not get much better than this. I can only recommend Chandler, goes above and beyond to make sure the players has an amazing time and feels welcome in his games and the world he builds.

An excellent session with great player participation and full immersion in the material. The descriptive nature of GM is always an important part of the VTT experience and the way that Chandler reveals small details is great.

I was recently in 2 Alien RPG games Chandler ran, and both were phenomenal experiences. Amazing mood, fantastic with communication, and wow I wish I could pick more than 3 tags! I would definitely also pick Allows for player creativity. He knows the world incredibly well, and any questions I had about any mechanics or what was around me, he would know the answer immediately, and conveyed that relevant info in a way that made the setting feel alive. I'd be thrilled to be in another game he ran.

I have been long time player of RPGs and for me the true test of a GM’s skill lies in their ability to improvise, and Chandler excels at it. He responds to the unpredictable nature of player actions with grace and ingenuity, ensuring the narrative flows seamlessly, no matter the direction it takes. Chandler possesses a unique skillset and level of experience that leads to a rare blend of creativity, organization, and adaptability.
