Every element of <strong>Free League’s <em>ALIEN RPG</em></strong> tells the best-realized <strong><em>ALIEN</em></strong> stories you’ll find outside of the first and second movies. From my first play of the game, it never disappointed as an immersive RPG that makes you feel like you’re locked into the universe. <strong>Free League’s</strong> <strong><em>ALIEN RPG</em></strong> unifies all of the movies and comics through player and GM decisions. Looking for horror? This game’s rules deliver <strong><em>ALIEN</em></strong>. Want the characters-will-die level of action from <strong><em>ALIENS</em></strong>? These rules will result in a quick body count. Want a longer form narrative like the comic series? There’s a campaign mode. Have a GM that’s telling an overly epic tale to a bunch of semi-engaged min-maxed players? Your sessions will feel like <strong><em>Prometheus, </em></strong>for better or worse. Are the players space truckers making bad decisions or panicking on every botched die roll like <strong><em>ALIEN: Covenant</em></strong>? No matter your taste in <strong><em>ALIEN</em></strong> stories, this game has you covered. The first edition presents the right artwork, writing, and system to make your game feel like the movies. With this campaign, fans can jump onboard with a new core rulebook featuring improved rules for stealth mode, panic rolls, ammo, armor, grenades, zero gravity play, plus updates from <strong><em>ALIEN: Romulus</em></strong>. Between that, two boxed sets (a new starter and an adventure scenario), and miniatures, this campaign offers a lot of great content.
