Free League Announces The Second Edition Of The Alien RPG

Alien – The Roleplaying Game has been very successful over the past 5 years. From winning multiple awards to being the 13th most used system on the popular Foundry VTT in 2023. To date, Free League have released multiple sets under the Alien RPG brand: The Core Rulebook, The Starter Set, 3 cinematic adventures (The Draconis Strain Trilogy: Chariot of the Gods, Destroyer of Worlds and Heart of Darkness) and 2 expansions with campaigns in them (Colonial Marines Operations Manual and Building Better Worlds).

Free League has just announced that they’re launching a Kickstarter for the 2e (second edition) of the Alien RPG this Fall. Some of the new features are as follows:

Free League has revealed their core line-up for the upcoming Kickstarter, with more details coming soon:

• Based upon feedback from thousands of players over five years of adventures, the Second Edition of the core rules delivers an updated and streamlined version of the ALIEN RPG fans know and love, along with additional new artwork, new content, and a variety of new tools for players and Game Mothers alike, all fully compatible with previous releases and game material.
• The new 2e starter set will be redesigned as the perfect starting point for newcomers to roleplaying in the ALIEN universe, containing everything they need for game night including abridged 2e rules, character sheets, custom dice, reference cards, various handouts, and an expanded 2e edition of the fan-favorite Hope’s Last Day scenario set on Hadley’s Hope just prior to the unforgettable events of Aliens.
• The new cinematic scenario boxed set, Rapture Protocol, written by Jonathan Hicks and Free League’s Tomas Härenstam, returns to the roots of the ALIEN franchise, featuring the crew of a small star freighter on a resupply run to the remote industrial colony, soon embroiled in a deadly conflict.
• The miniatures set is designed to bring the events of Rapture Protocol to life, but fully complement other adventures and skirmish battles throughout the ALIEN RPG series.

On the announcement page, they’ve also released a short trailer that showcases the new art we can probably be expecting for the 2nd Edition.
