ALIEN: The Roleplaying Game

Players take on roles in a hard sci-fi setting of corporate rivalry, frontier colonization, and extraterrestrial threats. Characters include marines, colonists, crew, and synthetic beings who confront environmental hazards, hostile lifeforms, and the moral pressures of powerful corporations. Gameplay uses a ruleset built for tense, survival-focused scenes and longer sandbox campaigns. One mode runs self-contained cinematic scenarios that deliver compact, high-stakes missions; the other supports extended campaigns with tools for generating star systems, colonies, missions, encounters, and NPCs. Play emphasizes investigation, resource management, social tension, and sudden, lethal horror in deep space.
