ALIEN RPG Evolved Edition: Core Rulebook

In space, no one can hear you fluff a stealth roll. The ALIEN RPG turned Ridley Scott's nightmare into one of the best horror games on any table, and the Evolved Edition is Free League's definitive version — five years of play from thousands of tables fed back into a sharper, streamlined core rulebook.

What's inside

• The complete, updated ALIEN RPG core rules in one volume
• New artwork and new content throughout
• Fresh tools for players and Game Mothers alike
• Fully compatible with every previous ALIEN RPG release and adventure
• English Language Version

How it plays

• Fast d6 dice pools — roll, count your sixes, hold your nerve
• The signature Stress mechanic: pressure builds until somebody panics
• Runs one-shot Cinematic scenarios or an ongoing campaign of deep-space horror

It's horror that works mechanically as well as tonally — the system itself tightens the screws, so even seasoned players end up whispering. If your group can stomach losing beloved characters to something in the vents, few games deliver like this one.

One core rulebook is all you need to run it. Everything else at the table is dice, nerve and bad decisions — and there's plenty more terror and adventure in our RPG books collection.
