Careers

The first choice for your character in Campaign play is your career. Your career choice determines your background and your role in the group. It influences your attributes, your skills, your starting gear and what starting talent you can have.

CAREERS

Unless you’re a dirtbound colonist, you need to get around in space and occasionally make a pit stop: you need a spacecraft.

SPACECRAFT

Everyone answers to someone and everybody wants to get paid. In the early 21st century, humanity stood on a precipice. Establishing off-world colonies within the solar system, corporations gave humanity new places to flourish rather than wither on a damaged Earth.

ORGANIZATIONS

Humans are arrogant sons of bitches. We leaped into space thinking we’d make it our own. There is life out here, and it wants us all dead.

Colonial Marines Operations Manual

Destroyer of Worlds

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&mdash;hold your breath and you rupture your lungs. Space isn&rsquo;t as empty as you&rsquo;d think, either&mdash;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&mdash;each new world tamed is either feast or famine. And there are things lurking in the shadows of every asteroid&mdash;things strange and different and deadly. Things alien. This is the official ALIEN tabletop roleplaying game&mdash;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&rsquo;s a harsh and unforgiving universe and you are nothing if not expendable. Stay alive if you can. The ALIEN tabletop roleplaying game is a beautifully illustrated full-color book of 392 pages, both presenting the world of ALIEN in the year 2183 and a fast and effective ruleset designed specifically to enhance the ALIEN experience. The game supports two distinct game modes: <ul><li>Cinematic play is based on pre-made scenarios that emulate the dramatic arc of an ALIEN film. Designed to be played in a single session, this game mode emphasizes high stakes and fast and brutal play. You are not all expected to survive. The core rulebook contains one introductory Cinematic scenario, Hope&rsquo;s Last Day.</li><li>Campaign play&nbsp;is designed for longer continuous play with the same cast of player characters over many game sessions, letting you explore the ALIEN universe freely, sandbox style. The core rulebook contains random tables and other powerful tools to quickly create star systems, colonies, missions, encounters, and NPCs for your campaign.</li></ul>The rules of the game are based on the acclaimed Year Zero Engine, used in award-winning games such as Tales from the Loop and Mutant: Year Zero, but adapted and further developed to fully support and enhance the core themes of&nbsp;ALIEN: horror and action in the cold darkness of space. <em id="isPasted" style="color: rgb(65, 65, 65); font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Unlocking this title unlocks the content in the digital reader on ALIEN: RPG Nexus, as well as in additional features as they become available during Early Access.

ACTIVE

Armor piercing rounds sizzle through raw flesh as plasma beams sear swollen retinas. Acrid smoke chokes down your throat before you realize what&rsquo;s burning is you. Chemical attacks melt your armor, simmer your eyeballs, and fuse your helmet to your skull, while bioweapons turn your insides out and pulp you into a quivering mound of black jelly. Welcome to war on the razor edge of space, marine&mdash;where nukes are yesterday&rsquo;s news, pulse rounds are cheap and a human life is only worth its weight in stock options. It&rsquo;s a living hell&mdash;but none of that&rsquo;s as bad as the flashes of gnashing metal teeth that terrorize you every time you try to close your eyes&mdash;like some monster just split your head open and crawled inside your dreams. Sometimes you&rsquo;ve gotta wonder what the hell it&rsquo;s all for. But no one pays you to ask why, only to follow orders. You&rsquo;re just a grunt&mdash;no offense. So lock and load your pulse rifle, marine&mdash;you&rsquo;ve got a job to do. Protect and serve the citizens and colonies of the Outer Rim&mdash;no matter what the cost.

The mission was a manhunt, the objectives clear&mdash;track down four fugitives, recover any assets they may have made off with, and keep &lsquo;em all out of enemy hands. Go find them on a frozen moon full of hostiles and get it done on the eve of war. Nothing you couldn&rsquo;t handle. But what it is that these bastards stole&mdash;and how the hell it got inside them&mdash;is another thing altogether. It&rsquo;s all above your paygrade, marine&mdash;but somehow you&rsquo;re the one who&rsquo;s got to deal with it. Of course, now there&rsquo;s an invasion fleet incoming, and there&rsquo;s something else, too&mdash;something much worse. Something out there hates you&mdash;hates everyone. Something big and ugly. Something with metal teeth&mdash;and you&rsquo;re pretty sure it ain&rsquo;t alone. Yeah, the mission was supposed to be a simple manhunt. Instead it turned out to be just another glorious day in the corps. Destroyer of Worlds is a complete Cinematic Scenario for the ALIEN roleplaying game, written by sci-fi novelist Andrew E.C. Gaska. In&nbsp;Destroyer of Worlds, players take the roles of Colonial Marines. The scenario is designed for 3&ndash;5 players plus the Game Mother, and it&rsquo;s a gauntlet of one hell after another.
