ALIEN the Role Playing Game
Alright sweethearts, what are you waiting for? Breakfast in bed? It’s another glorious day in the Corps! So grab your gear and get ready to move out!
Now you might be asking yourself, “is this gonna be a standup fight, sir, or another bug hunt?” Well private, all we know is that a mining colony has gone non-comunicato, meaning we need you to be our eyes on the ground.
So lock and load your pulse rifle, marine – you’ve got a job to do. Protect and serve the citizens of the Outer Rim – no matter what the cost…
