After the successful Kickstarter campaign earlier this year, Free League Publishing has announced a November 18 release for the Evolved Edition of their multiple award-winning Alien The Roleplaying Game, the standalone cinematic adventure Rapture Protocol, a new Starter Set, a new Miniature Set, and more. Those eager to pre-order can do so through the Free League webshop, with immediate access to complete PDFs of the new products, at no extra cost.
Topping charts since its original fall 2019 release, Alien The Roleplaying Game has earned itself a dozen top awards over the years, including Best Game at the ENNIE Awards. The Kickstarter for the Evolved Edition shattered the record for Free League’s most-backed project of all time, raising over $2.4 million USD.
New aspects of the Evolved Edition include:
- 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 Fede Alvarez‘s 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
Built upon feedback from thousands of players over five years of adventures, Alien: The Roleplaying Game Evolved Edition sports 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.
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.
