This is a starter set for the official ALIEN tabletop roleplaying game - a universe of body horror and corporate brinkmanship, where synthetic people play god while space truckers and marines play host to newborn ghoulish creatures. It’s a harsh and unforgiving universe and you are nothing if not expendable. Stay alive if you can. This boxed set contains everything you need to start playing.

Contents:
1 104-page rulebook with a fast and effective ruleset designed specifically to support the core themes of ALIEN: horror and action in the cold darkness of space.
1 48-page complete scenario Chariot of the Gods by sci-fi novelist Andrew E.C. Gaska, taking you on a thrilling, terror-filled ride into deep space where no one can hear you scream. Chariot of the Gods is designed for 3–5 players plus the GM.
5 pre-generated characters to play.
1 huge full-color, double-sided map, with one side depicting chartered space in the year 2183 and the other floor plans for the Chariot of the Gods scenario.
84 game markers for keeping track of characters, motion tracker pings, and more.
56 high quality custom cards for weapons, personal agendas, and initiative in combat.
1 set each of ten engraved Base Dice and ten Stress Dice, designed specifically for the ALIEN roleplaying game.

Fantastic game. Immerses players in the horror / SF tropes of the Alein series.

The best starter set to go with if you're just starting with Alien RPG. One of the best outlines of rules but the campaign, 'Chariot of the Gods', helps solidify the rules and shows you the core of the game without overloading you on all the extras.

A great, cinematic RPG which captures the horror of the Alien universe.

With Free League's TTRPGs it's really worth getting the Starter sets AND the main Rulebooks. Although Starters have premade characters (no character generation rules) they give you a good intro to the game but also tons of stuff like maps, custom dice, adventures, game cards, etc which you can use with the aforementioned main Rulebook. For example the Alien RPG Base and Stress dice would cost you about £25 (£12.50 each) to buy seperately but you get both sets included in this Starter so you only pay about £8 for the rest of the Starter abd believe me there's tonnes of cool stuff inside

Nice set with everything you need to start playing this great game. Also want to mention the wonderful customer service I received after accidentally selecting the wrong shipping method. The customer service team went out of their way to try and expedite the delivery, but when that sort of went wrong as well, they quickly apologised and compensated me (which immediately led to me making another purchase).

Amazing cinematic game to run - rp heavy. We had a great time - some really true to the genre scenes in there. Having dice and tokens really helped. As a note- It does take a bit of time to prep the adventure in order to keep game time to 5-6h for 4 players plus gm.
