About the adventure
Space is vast, cold, and unforgiving. Help is always far away — and when something goes wrong, it goes wrong fast. This is a cinematic ALIEN RPG horror mini-series, designed to deliver a tense, story-driven survival experience inspired by the tone of the ALIEN films. Expect isolation, mounting dread, investigation under pressure, and hard choices where survival is never guaranteed. This listing is used for a rotating ALIEN RPG Cinematic Series. Each run features a complete, self-contained story with a clear beginning, escalation, and conclusion. Current Scenario: Rapture Protocol (Future runs may feature other official ALIEN RPG cinematic scenarios.) 👽 What This Game Is Cinematic sci-fi horror, focused on tension and atmosphere High-stakes survival — violence is dangerous, mistakes are costly Character-driven play, where fear, stress, and desperation matter Investigation and mystery alongside escalating threats A fully prepped Foundry VTT experience with maps, handouts, and audio This is not a power fantasy. It’s about surviving the unknown with limited resources and imperfect information. 🧑🚀 Characters & Play Style Pre-generated or scenario-specific characters Strong emphasis on roleplay, teamwork, and decision-making Rules are explained as we play — no prior ALIEN RPG experience required Creativity and smart thinking are rewarded over mechanical mastery 🗓️ Campaign Structure Limited run mini-series 3 sessions total (same day and time each week) Clear start and end dates No long-term commitment required Perfect for players who want a complete horror experience without signing up for a long campaign. 🎭 Tone & Content This is a horror-focused game that explores themes such as isolation, fear, violence, and survival under extreme stress. The tone is tense, atmospheric, and sometimes unsettling, in keeping with the ALIEN universe. Players should be comfortable engaging with dark themes and high-stakes situations. Clear communication and mutual respect at the table are expected so everyone can focus on the experience. 🕯️ About the GM I’m a horror-focused GM with over 24 years of experience, specializing in atmospheric and investigative play. I’ve published multiple Call of Cthulhu scenarios and focus on pacing, immersion, and player-driven storytelling. My goal is to create tense, memorable experiences where every decision matters and the story unfolds naturally through play. 🔁 Part of a Cinematic Series This game is part of a rotating ALIEN RPG Cinematic Horror Series. If you enjoy this run, future scenarios may include: Chariot of the Gods Destroyer of Worlds Heart of Darkness Each story is self-contained — you can join one or several. Ready to face the void? Reserve your seat and prepare for a cinematic survival-horror experience where fear is constant, resources are scarce, and no one is truly safe.

About me
👋 Hello, I’m Leo — a professional Game Master specializing in immersive horror roleplaying. With over 24 years of experience, I focus on delivering tense, atmospheric games built around investigation, dread, and meaningful player choice. My tables are designed for players who want suspense, strong narrative cohesion, and stories that linger long after the session ends. If you’re looking for carefully paced horror, deep immersion, and a GM who treats the game seriously while keeping it fun and welcoming — you’re in the right place. 🕯️ My Specialization: Horror & Investigative Play Horror is my main focus and strongest discipline. I specialize in games where atmosphere, mystery, and tension drive the experience: 🕵️ Call of Cthulhu – My signature system. From classic 1920s investigations to modern cosmic horror, I emphasize slow-burn dread, strong clues, and player-driven discovery. 🕶️ Delta Green – Psychological and conspiracy horror, where paranoia, secrecy, and moral pressure are as dangerous as the Mythos itself. 👽 ALIEN RPG – Cinematic survival horror in space: lethal, intense, and tightly paced, inspired by the tone of the films. My games prioritize investigation, character perspective, and narrative tension over mechanical complexity or power gaming. 🌍 About Me I’m bilingual — fluent in Spanish (native) and English — originally from Venezuela and currently based in Chile. I’ve run games for players across the USA, UK, and Spain, and I adapt my style to match each group’s experience level and expectations. I’m also a published writer, with three Call of Cthulhu scenarios released on Chaosium’s Miskatonic Repository, where my work has been praised for atmosphere, pacing, and table usability. 💡 What You Can Expect at My Table 🌑 Beginner-Friendly Horror – New players are welcome; I enjoy teaching systems and easing people into horror roleplaying. 🎭 Immersive Presentation – Atmospheric narration, music, and visual support when appropriate. 🧩 Player-Driven Investigation – Your choices matter; clever thinking is rewarded. ⏱️ Professional Reliability – Clear communication, preparation, and respect for everyone’s time. 🔥 Why Choose Me? 🕯️ Horror Specialist – Decades of experience running investigative and atmospheric horror. 📚 Published & Proven – Officially released Call of Cthulhu scenarios with real table use. 🎲 Narrative-First GMing – Focus on tension, mood, and meaningful decisions. 🤝 Respectful & Inclusive – A safe, collaborative table where everyone gets a voice. Ready to uncover dark secrets, face cosmic terror, or struggle to survive against impossible odds? Browse my available games or send me a message — I’d be glad to bring your next horror story to life. Let’s make something unforgettable together.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
👉 A Cinematic Scenario comes with its own set of pregenerated characters to be played, each with their own agendas (think characters in the movie but you decide what they do) 👉 There is a variety of NPC with their own motivations available and almost everyone can seamlessly become an Player Character, should one of the starting PCs meet a gruesome end. 👉 Once you join and select you character, before the game starts you will be given the character's agenda. Keep it to yourself, no one is supposed to know each other agenda, thats whats makes the game so fun!
This game works best for players who enjoy cinematic sci-fi horror, investigation under pressure, and roleplay-driven play. Expect tense situations, difficult choices, and real consequences rather than tactical combat or power progression. New players are welcome, but comfort with horror themes and collaborative storytelling is important.

How Leopoldo "Leovor" Rueda creates a safe table
Session Zero / Expectations: While this is a short cinematic game with pre-generated characters, we’ll begin with a brief discussion of tone, themes, boundaries, and expectations before play starts. This ensures everyone knows what kind of horror experience they’re signing up for and helps the game run smoothly from the first scene. Breaks & Debrief: Short breaks will be taken as needed, and we’ll have time at the end of each session to decompress, ask questions, and discuss the game.
