ALIEN: The RPG (May Sci-Fi Month)
ALIEN: The RPG
Ran by DM Travis
Return to the moon LV-426 and experience the events that unfolded before the movie Aliens. Take on the role of the last surviving colonists of Hadley’s Hope, and try to escape on a visiting Weyland-Yutani shuttle. You’ll have to track down the Wey-Yu agent and secure an access keycard in order to operate the shuttle, all while avoiding the alien creatures that have killed and abducted your fellow colonists. In addition to the shared goal of survival, each character has their own agenda, and should these agendas be followed to their ends, tension and conflict amid the party is a certainty. Keep your wits about you, don’t let your guard down, and be careful who you trust.
Alien the Roleplaying Game is a rules-light system that focuses on quick conflict resolution and swift consequences, allowing the game to revolve more around the atmosphere, action, and horror that define the Alien franchise. Easy to learn as you play, and friendly to both newcomers and veterans of tabletop RPGs.
This is a special free-to-play Sci-Fi one-shot RPG as part of May Sci-Fi Month. Space is limited. Please use the registration form to sign up!

From the publisher:
Space is vast, dark, and not your friend.
Gamma rays and neutrino bursts erupt from dying stars to cook you alive, black holes tear you apart, and the void itself boils your blood and seizes your brain. Try to scream and no one can hear you – hold your breath and you rupture your lungs.
Space isn’t as empty as you’d think, either – its frontiers are ever expanding. Rival governments wage a cold war of aggression while greedy corporations vie for valuable resources. Colonists reach for the stars and gamble with their lives – each new world tamed is either feast or famine. And there are things lurking in the shadows of every asteroid – things strange and different and deadly. Things alien.
This is the official ALIEN tabletop roleplaying game – a universe of body horror and corporate brinkmanship, where synthetic people play god while space truckers and marines serve host to newborn ghoulish creatures. It’s a harsh and unforgiving universe and you are nothing if not expendable.
Stay alive if you can.
