There is no 2nd edition. The new printing of the rulebook (that still will be 1st edition) will be updated with some erratas and clarifications but they are very few and only minor.

Alien RPG CMOM sourcebook is very thick though and contains 6+1 missions. This will come down to what they want to do with the game. If they want to focus on case files, they could easily do a lot of those, but if they go with their Alien approach, there will be a thick sourcebook with x number...

It is a BRP d20 roll under system, not a 5E system. Some rules have been inspired by other games, like the push mechanics obviously comes from FLs own YZE-games. There are things that has been inspired by d&d of course (like the death saves, although they are not the only one using that), but...

A world where heroes can be heroes, monsters are monsters, princes or princesses are saved in numbers, gold is still gold and very shiny and at least some heroes will live happily ever after. The fantasy genre serves very good as escapism.

It is very costly to print boxes and books, especially these days. They need to do some sort of pre-order or kickstarter so they can see how many games to print. Having a kickstarter instead of pre-order gives them feedback that can be very useful (and they have changed things in the books...

I don't have to re-read anything thank you. I have read them all and played many of them. To have different views is one thing, that can cause a tension between the players and can create interesting scenes. PvP (or what FL means with PvP) is something else. FL only have a PvP warning in two of...

In alien an androids looks different on the inside, a replicant doesn't. A replicant can get injured without revealing that he is a replicant. In BR it is apparently very hard to detect a replicant, inside or outside, so hard that it takes a special test to do it (at least in the first movie)...

Regarding what you can play. FL have said in interviews that you can play replicant, human but also a human that may be a replicant (the player doesn't know). In Alien RPG they solved this by letting the player use all the rules for being human until it is known that he isn't human. The same...

There are four scenarios in the Referees Manual. So just let the players travel a day or two and use some encounters and then play one the scenarios or you can just one of the scenario sites be the first hex they come to.

The soundtrack to T2K can be found on spotify (and most likely other music streaming services) now. As well as the soundtracks made for the other FL games.

Alien was a pre-order (the pre-order started 2019 May 25).

The cinematic starter kit pdf was a treat to everyone that pre-ordered the game. Everyone else has to buy the scenario and the core rulebook. There will be some sort of quickstart book/box/something eventually (I have heard spring 2020, but that is not something official).

There are printerfriendly sheets, maps and handouts on FLs site: https://frialigan.se/en/games/alien/?downloads

An rpg based on Aliens :) https://alien-rpg.com/?fbclid=IwAR1sB6LJeejm_N-0zZP9_RL0rdQe3qrwyV7IfM3adJNOBBtb1M055H0vLno

I love Nils art. They really feel alive (even though they are b&w). I know that it perhaps doesn't show very well in the interior art they have shown so far. I also like the system they will use, MY0, even though it will be modified to serve its purpose (just as they modified it for Coriolis and...
