Alien: The Roleplaying Game Is Evolving

Oh no! Humanity was doomed as it was, but now the Xenomrph is adapting…changing…LEARNING. Soon it’ll be completely unstoppable. That is unless your TTRPG friends can find a way to stop it.

Alien: The Roleplaying Game is approaching its fifth birthday, and Free League is celebrating with a new Evolved Edition of the game. This version will contain new artwork, new content, and a variety of new tools to use, including a Solo Mode. At the same time it will retain compatibility with the previous version of the game. Here’s what’s in store for your crew:

• A bold new look and feel to the Core Rulebook, with all new page layouts by Johan Nohr (of MÖRK BORG fame), new interior maps and artwork, and a stunning new core book cover by renowned artist Colm Geoghegan (Creepy Duck Design);
• Revised and expanded core rules for talents, stress and panic, and stealth;
• Revised combat rules for armor, ammo, grenades, stuns, skirmishes, and spaceships;
• New iconic weapons, items, ships, and locations from the hit film Alien: Romulus;
• Various new rules and tools in high demand from players, including zero gravity, miniatures play support, and expanded campaign play;
• And last but not least, Last Survivor, a robust solo mode designed by masters of the solo trade, Shawn Tomkin and Matt Click.

It all sounds great, but you can’t get your hands on it just yet. The Kickstarter campaign for Alien: The Roleplaying Game — Evolved Edition won’t launch until March 25. Keep an eye on this page for further updates. In the meantime, here’s a look at the book and the full set…
