In space, nobody can hear you scream that Alien Evolved Edition has finally come out, bringing with it a new era of sci-fi horror RPGs!
Alien Evolved Edition has been a long time coming. The 2nd Edition of the Alien RPG Evolved Edition brings much of the modern Alien mythos into the tabletop fold. While also updating the rules, streamlining some of the clunkiness, and more importantly, making it even easier to use all those xenomorph miniatures you probably got when the Kickstarter for this was going strong.
And that’s not even mentioning the whole galaxy haunted by nightmarish creatures that have been bioengineered to take on humans and schlorp up their DNA, milk-blooded androids, and the scariest thing in the Alien world: the consequences of capitalism unfettered by morality and empathy.
This one’s been a long time coming folks. After a Kickstarter campaign that smashed its funding goals and then some, Alien 2E was already in real good shape. With the Kickstarter fulfilment well in hand, Free League has opened up the pod bay doors and let in the xenomorphs. Or maybe it’s more like they’ve cracked the glass safety barrier and unleashed the black goo? The point is, Alien 2E is here.
One of the nice things about Evolved Edition is that it adds so much more to the sandbox. Not only do you get updated lore and setting info, thanks to the new films and now incredible Hulu series, but Alien Evolved Edition also offers up years’ worth of refinement to the core ruleset. Plus, new campaign settings, new ways to play—including solo mode.
“The Alien RPG Evolved Edition expands upon the original experience and provides an updated and revised version that will feel fresh for rookie and veteran players alike. This expanded core rulebook includes new artwork, new content, and various new tools for players and Game Mothers alike, all fully compatible with previous releases.”
Alongside the new Core Rulebook, the Alien RPG 2nd Edition release includes a brand new starter set, a new GM screen, the new Rapture Protocol cinematic scenario, and a miniatures set. There’s a ton to jump in with. So whether you want to start playing, or have had a campaign just waiting to see what the new stuff brings to it, you can jump in today!
