Learn 2 Play events use the starter boxes to expose players to various games or settings. Today we’ll be opening the Alien franchise using the Free League Alien Starter Box. The game comes with an adventure, 5 pregenerated characters, and a short rule book. As I have other adventures and the full rule book, I have additional characters we can pull in if there are more than 5 folks interested in the game.This is also the jump off point to full Alien adventures beginning in October for the next 4 Sundays.
In Space, No One Can Hear You Scream.
STORY PRIMER:
You are space truckers on the starfreighter
USCSS Montero, running “the Gauntlet”—the
trade route between Anchorpoint Station
and the Frontier. Your ship’s cargo hold is
packed with dozens of tanks of dangerous
Tritium gas that is in the process of decaying
into extremely profitable Helium-3. Usually
cargoes such as these are towed in massive
tanker modules that transport much higher
concentrations of the gas a safe distance
from a freight hauler. The Montero isn’t rated
as a commercial towing vehicle, however, and
this small run is a special order for a Weyland-
Yutani corporate account on Sutter’s
World—a newly established Frontier colony.
While the trip so far has been fairly routine,
the Montero’s sensors developed a glitch
before you left Anchorpoint and sporadically
pinged contact with a sensor reflection
before you activated the displacement drive
and went FTL. Your cargo run so far has been
without incident. Now, you are just awakening
from hypersleep, ready to deliver your goods
to the colony of Sutter’s World.
