Seeing as it’s Alien Day, it just wouldn’t be the same without some news related to the actual franchise. And this time around, it’s Free League Publishing and their award-winning Alien RPG tabletop game, which has just announced a new expansion in “Building Better Worlds” that’s available now for pre-order.
Building Better Worlds is a complete campaign module, giving you all the tools needed to run a full open-world campaign as a pioneering explorer or colonist. There are six thrilling expeditions that are playable in any order. You will need the Alien RPG core rulebook in order to play it, however.
Alongside being able to create either an explorer or colonist (with expanded character creation rules), the expansion also includes new gear and ships, with an extrasolar species catalogue that features new Xenomorphic creatures for you to encounter. You can even create your own frontier and colonize it, thanks to the Appendix.
“All the wonder and danger of the stars is yours—if you can just wipe the grime off your face and dig the dirt out from under your fingernails first.
Airless moons circle swirling gas giants, eager to be transformed into tomorrow’s paradise. Dark ancient mysteries wait to be unearthed beneath a millennium of debris. Searing solar flares boil your flesh and blacken your bones as you harness their power to light a hundred worlds. Long lost mysteries lie entombed in the frozen hearts of icy comets. Unstable tectonic plates shift to drown iridium mines in scalding lava.
Even the truth of humanity’s origins awaits you out there, orbiting some dying star. And out there amongst it all is something truly horrifying—something that nature never intended. Something alien.”
Don’t forget the other expansions that have already been released for the game, including the most recent one in the Colonial Marines Operations Manual.
