Free League Publishing and 20th Century Studios have recently announced the upcoming expansion for the multiple award-winning ALIEN The Roleplaying Game, titled Building Better Worlds. This new expansion is now available for pre-order and promises to deliver a rich, open-world campaign experience for players as they assume the roles of pioneering explorers and colonists in the vast reaches of space.
Building Better Worlds is a complete campaign module designed to provide Game Masters and players with everything they need to embark on a thrilling journey through uncharted territories. The expansion delves into the history of humanity’s colonization efforts, offering a fascinating backdrop for the adventures that await players in the far reaches of the cosmos.
Character creation in Building Better Worlds has been expanded, allowing players to further customize their characters as they prepare to forge a new life on the frontier. The expansion also features an extensive chapter on new gear and spaceships, complete with captivating illustrations to bring these tools and vessels to life.
In addition to the new equipment and customization options, Building Better Worlds introduces a catalog of extrasolar species, including new xenomorphic creatures that players may encounter during their expeditions. These strange and deadly beings add an element of suspense and terror to the game, enhancing the overall experience and staying true to the ALIEN franchise’s roots.
The Lost Worlds campaign framework and backstory set the stage for players to explore uncharted space, while the expansion also includes six independent expeditions that can be played in any order. These expeditions offer a diverse array of challenges and opportunities for players as they navigate the perils of deep space exploration.
Ultimately, players will be faced with a dramatic final showdown in The Endgame, a climactic confrontation where everything is at stake. The outcome of this encounter will determine the fate of the players and the future of humanity’s presence in the stars.
The ALIEN RPG: Building Better Worlds expansion is a comprehensive addition to the core rulebook, which was released in 2019 by Free League Publishing in partnership with 20th Century Studios. The core game offers a universe filled with body horror, corporate brinkmanship, and the relentless struggle for survival in a harsh and unforgiving environment.
With the Building Better Worlds expansion, the ALIEN RPG experience is further enhanced, providing players with a wealth of new content and opportunities for adventure. As players venture into the depths of space, they will confront both the wonders and the horrors of the unknown, with the ever-present threat of the alien menace lurking in the shadows.
