Alien RPG Evolved Edition Kickstarter Is Now Live!

Alien The Roleplaying Game by Free League has been enjoying a successful run, with multiple awards and a warm reception from the RPG community since it was released in December 2019. Now the anticipated Kickstarter for the new Evolved Edition has gone live, and we have a lot more details of what to expect from the new release:

THE EVOLVED EDITION

Based upon feedback from thousands of players over five years of adventures, the Evolved Edition of the Core Rulebook 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. What’s new:

• New Graphic Design
• Revised & Expanded Stealth Mode
• Revised & Expanded Talents
• Revised & Expanded Stress and Panic Rules
• Revised & Expanded Rules for Ammo and Armor
• Revised Rules for Grenades and Stun Damage
• Zero Gravity Rules

• Jackson’s Star Colony from ALIEN: Romulus
• Last Survivor – ALIEN RPG Solo Mode
• Life Path Character Creation (If Unlocked)

For early access backers, there are multiple benefits:

EARLY ACCESS

Soon after the Kickstarter ends, all backers will get early access to Beta PDFs of the Evolved Edition Core Rulebook, the new Starter Set, and the Rapture Protocol cinematic adventure, months ahead of the official release.

THE COLLECTOR’S EDITION

The special limited edition of  the Evolved Edition Core Rulebook comes with a unique cover design. The special edition is produced specifically for this Kickstarter and will not be printed again – a true collector’s item not to be missed.

There’s also a special early pledge bonus for anyone who backs the physical version of the Kickstarter within the first 48h:

Today, Free League unveiled the early pledge bonus in the Kickstarter: an exclusive cloth crew patch for the USCSS Fidanza, the starfreighter featured in Rapture Protocol, the new cinematic adventure to be released alongside the Evolved Edition.

All backers making a physical pledge within the first 48 hours of the campaign will get the cloth patch at no extra cost.

The Kickstarter offers a vast amount of customizable options and addons for each pledge. From physical editions to PDF only bundles, every major VTT supported, GM screens to miniatures and everything in between, there’s a full range of customizable “pick and choose” options. Some of them are in table below Note that the prices are denoted in the local Swedish krona:

For more customizable options, just pick and choose from the add-ons section. We also have some new lovely artwork from Alien: Romulus related elements that we can expect to see in the Evolved Edition:

Updated versions of the campaign books Colonial Marines Operations Manual and Building Better Worlds are also available. Free League have cleared up that the updates will be to the layout as well as the minor rule tweaks, but nothing more regarding those books. Also, for people who have the PDFs from DriveThruRPG will get the updated versions free of charge. There are so many other features of the Kickstarter for which we have already covered previously like the miniatures and other physical memorabilia, The Starter Set and the cinematic Rapture Protocol that we recommend checking out Free League’s Alien RPG Evolved Edition Kickstarter for more details.

For anyone worried does the implication of this edition being on Kickstarter mean that there is a chance that these products might not actually release and get funded, fear not! Because, in less than 15 minutes it has already been successfully funded and cleared the first stretch goal! In less than 2 hours of the Kickstarter going live, there have been 2.500 backers with over 530.000 USD pledged! The Kickstarter will be live for 23 more days as of time of writing.
