Alien RPG Pre-order Starter Set & Colonial Marines Adventure

Many of us have heard of the super cool Alien RPG by Free League using their Year Zero Engine. Now is your chance to get the starter bundle, which includes both the Starter Set (plus dice inside) and a new adventure "Destroyer of Worlds".

Or if you already own the earlier Alien RPG products, you can just opt for the Colonial Marines only boxset cinematic scenario.

ALIEN The Roleplaying Game - Free League Publishing

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. […]

I bought the core book and the stress dice. What I really really really want is some miniatures of marines and xenomorphs, the latter is harder to come by.

The boardgame from GF9 will be good for that. I'll be buying it just for the minis!

I've always wondererd how an Aliens game would really work in most rulesets, but Year Zero Engine is perfect for this kind of game.

A perfect example of mechanics make the game work.

The starter set is an insanely good deal. You get a cut-down rulebook (probably cutting a lot of the fluff and art from the corebook), both sets of dice, the cards, the first adventure, and the maps and counter kit for close to a third of the original cost of all of the stuff other than the corebook.

I'm mildly surprised they're throwing the whole kitchen sink in this way, but I guess the strategy is to aggressively grow the audience and make this a major franchise. Which sounds great to me.

Looking forward to August!

Destroyer of Worlds is so bought.

This is a great game, I highly suggest it to anyone who has an interest in "Cthululu in space" and/or is a fan of the movie series.

Hiya!

Of course, you have to have a 3D printer (preferably resin for small things, like 30mm mini's; but printing them out at say, 75mm might be cool too, on a FDM printer...).
