About the adventure
The campaign begins with "Chariot of the Gods," where the players, as the crew of the commercial hauler USCSS Montero, are diverted to investigate the derelict science vessel USCSS Cronus.The campaign then escalates in "Destroyer of Worlds," where, as Colonial Marines on the besieged moon of Ariarcus, the players are caught in a UPP invasion. Finally, the saga concludes with "Heart of Darkness," where the survivors, now pawns of Weyland-Yutani, are sent to a remote space station on the edge of a black hole. This cohesive campaign, known as the Draconis Strain Saga, plunges the players into a spiraling conspiracy of corporate greed, military desperation, and cosmic horror, forcing them to confront not just the monstrous Xenomorphs, but the very real possibility of humanity's self-destruction in the face of an incomprehensible alien pathogen. This game is intended for players of all levels to enjoy a few nights of horror together with friends!

About me
I started running games in 2016 cause I thought Adventure League was too loud and crowded at my local game shop. My main games are DnD 5e and Cypher, though I have experience with Alien RPG, Call of Cthulhu, Star Wars D6, and more! I love comedy and fantasy games but thoroughly enjoy horror and sci-fi. My goal as a GM is to make sure you're having fun and encourage character building/growth. I'm not a RAW kind of GM. While I do defer to the rules on certain things, my overall goal is to keep balance and fun integral to the game. I also give inspiration if you make me laugh out loud while you're in character.
