    The ALIEN Roleplaying Game

    Nov 12, 2019 13:00 GMT

    The Official ALIEN


    Tabletop Roleplaying
    Game Coming
    December 10
    The xenomorphs are coming to game night! On December 10, Free League
    Publishing and 20th Century Fox will launch the official ALIEN tabletop
    roleplaying game. The massive 392-page core rulebook will be released
    along with a host of supplements.

    Taking place shortly after the events of Aliens, the RPG will propel players
    into the vast possibilities of the Outer Rim Frontier. From the pioneering
    colonists and scientists to the ever-present Company reps and Colonial
    Marines, the game promises a diverse range of characters and gameplay
    experiences far beyond the staple cat-and-mouse suspense and survival
    horror of the franchise.

    The ALIEN RPG is a beautifully illustrated full-color hardcover book, both


    presenting the world of ALIEN in the year 2183 and a fast and effective
    ruleset designed specifically to enhance the ALIEN experience. The game
    can be played in two distinct game modes: Cinematic play and Campaign
    play.

    Cinematic play is based on pre-made scenarios that emulate the dramatic


    arc of an ALIEN film. Designed to be played in a single session, this game
    mode emphasizes high stakes and fast and brutal play. Player characters are
    not all expected to survive. The core rulebook will be published alongside
    the complete Cinematic scenario Chariot of the Gods by sci-fi novelist
    Andrew E.C. Gaska, who is also the setting writer and canon consultant for
    the RPG. Campaign play is designed for longer continuous play with the
    same cast of characters over many game sessions, letting players explore
    the ALIEN universe freely, sandbox style.

    The rules of the game are designed by game director Tomas Härenstam


    and based on the Year Zero Engine, used in award-winning games such as
    Tales From the Loop, Forbidden Lands, and Mutant: Year Zero, but adapted
    and further developed to fully support and enhance the core themes of
    ALIEN: horror and action in the cold darkness of space.

    The core rulebook will be launched alongside a range of supplements,


    inlucuding the Chariot of the Gods scenario, custom dice, a GM Screen, and a
    set of useful maps and markers. All items will be available on the Free
    League website and in retail stores worldwide from December 10.

    REVIEW EMBARGO: Full reviews of the game may not be published before
    December 6, in order to give everyone an equal chance to receive the game
    and review it in good time.

    THE FUTURE

    The launch of the ALIEN RPG is just the first step of a long-term licensing
    partnership with 20th Century Fox Consumer Products, drawing upon four
    decades of world-building within this beloved universe. The first expansions
    to the core game are planned for August 2020.

    The Fox-Free League licensing deal was brokered by Joe LeFavi of Genuine
    Entertainment, who manages the license on behalf of Free League and
    serve as an editor on the game series. Alien is the latest in a slew of high-
    profile tabletop deals by LeFavi, including the master tabletop gaming
    license for Dune, the tabletop RPG series for Altered Carbon, and multiple
    brand extensions of World of Darkness.
