Alien RPG Core Rulebook

Description

Space is vast, dark, and not your friend. Gamma rays and neutrino burstserupt from dying stars to cook you alive, black holes tear you apart, and thevoid itself boils your blood and seizes your brain. Try to scream and no one canhear you—hold your breath and you rupture your lungs. Space isn’t as emptyas you’d think, either—its frontiers are ever expanding. Rival governmentswage a cold war of aggression while greedy corporations vie for valuableresources. Colonists reach for the stars and gamble with their lives—each newworld tamed is either feast or famine. And there are things lurking in theshadows of every asteroid—things strange and different and deadly.

Things alien.

This is the official ALIEN tabletop roleplaying game—a universe of bodyhorror and corporate brinkmanship, where synthetic people play god while spacetruckers and marines serve host to newborn ghoulish creatures. It’s a harshand unforgiving universe and you are nothing if not expendable.

Stay alive if you can.
