Alien: Rapture Protocol

About the adventure

The USCSS Fidanza is an aging starfreighter on what should be its final, routine run: resupply a remote mining station on a frozen moon, pick up a valuable cargo, and head back to Earth for decommissioning. You awaken from hypersleep groggy but hopeful—this job could mean a permanent contract with Weyland-Yutani. Instead, you find static on the comms, locked system access, and a growing sense that something is very wrong. This is a cinematic, tension-driven survival horror game set in the Alien universe. The focus is on atmosphere, investigation, and character-driven decision-making rather than constant combat. Expect slow-burn dread, moments of sudden panic, and the kind of hard choices where survival often comes at a cost. Violence is dangerous, consequences matter, and sometimes the smartest move is to run—or hide. My GM style prioritizes player agency and roleplay. You’ll be encouraged to talk things through in character, explore the ship at your own pace, and decide how you respond to the unknown. While the scenario has a clear structure, the story is shaped by your choices, not a script. I use immersive audio, lighting, and visual effects to enhance tension, but the heart of the game is always the players and their characters. This game is ideal for players who enjoy narrative-heavy play, suspenseful exploration, and collaborative storytelling. New players are welcome—rules will be explained as we go—but a willingness to lean into the tone and engage with the fiction is key. If you enjoy Alien, Aliens, or sci-fi horror where the environment itself feels hostile, you’ll feel right at home aboard the Fidanza.
