In space, no one can hear you scream. In deep space, they never knew you went missing.
The Campaign
The latest campaign module for Free League’s ALIEN RPG, Building Better Worlds, is currently available. It gives you tools (and expeditions) to run a full open-world campaign as a pioneering explorer or colonist.
The game’s core rulebook is required to play.
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. Free League Publishing and 20th Century Studios today released the expansion Building Better Worlds for the multiple award-winning ALIEN The Roleplaying Game.
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.

Further Thoughts
ALIEN RPG is divided into two styles of play, cinematic and campaign. Cinematic presents tight, film-like adventures. Campaign play presents sandbox-style, open-world (open-galaxy) style adventures that let the players explore at will. This campaign significantly increases the options for campaign players, giving GMs and players a unique structure and backbone.
It’s very easy to imagine a long-term survival campaign taking shape, where xenomorphs are only one more threat alongside resource management, base building peril, and anything else lurking in deep space from non-xenomorphic aliens to previous expeditions that have turned to piracy. There’s significant potential.
