Kickstarter for Evolved Edition of ‘Alien RPG’ Launches March 25

As fans of Free League Publishing’s Alien: The Roleplaying Game know, the developer is turning to Kickstarter for their upcoming Evolved Edition of the TTRPG. They’ve now set a March 25 launch date for the campaign, which will include an updated and expanded Core Rulebook, an updated Starter Set, a new Cinematic scenario boxed set called “Rapture Protocol”, and a Miniatures Set.

Built upon feedback from the thousands of players over the five years since the initial edition launched, Alien: The Roleplaying Game Evolved Edition aims to deliver an updated and streamlined version of the Alien RPG fans know and love. The updated core rules include new artwork, new content, and a variety of new tools for players and Game Mothers alike, all fully compatible with previous releases and game material.

The new Evolved Edition includes:

• A bold new look and feel to the Core Rulebook, with all new page layouts by Johan Nohr (of MÖRK BORG fame), new interior maps and artwork, and a stunning new core book cover by renowned artist Colm Geoghegan (Creepy Duck Design);
• Revised and expanded core rules for talents, stress and panic, and stealth;
• Revised combat rules for armor, ammo, grenades, stuns, skirmishes, and spaceships;
• New iconic weapons, items, ships, and locations from the hit film Alien: Romulus;
• Various new rules and tools in high demand from players, including zero gravity, miniatures play support, and expanded campaign play;
• “Last Survivor”, a robust solo mode designed by masters of the solo trade, Shawn Tomkin and Matt Click.

Redesigned as the perfect starting point for newcomers to roleplaying in the Alien universe, the new Evolved Edition of the Starter Set contains everything players need, including abridged rules, character sheets, custom dice, larger miniature-friendly game maps, initiative cards, reference cards, various handouts, tokens, and an expanded Evolved edition of the fan-favorite Hope’s Last Day scenario.

The new cinematic adventure boxed set, Rapture Protocol, returns to the roots of the Alien franchise, featuring the crew of a small star freighter on a resupply run to the remote industrial colony, soon embroiled in a deadly conflict. A new Miniatures Set featuring 28mm scale, high-quality miniatures of soldiers, space truckers, Xenomorphs, and more is designed to bring the events of Rapture Protocol to life, but fully complements other adventures and skirmish battles throughout the Alien RPG series.
