AWAITING ACKNOWLEDGMENT

A routine job or a spiraling descent into soul-crushing madness? Time to find out. Free League Publishing and 20th Century Studios today released Heart of Darkness, the new Cinematic scenario for the multiple award-winning ALIEN RPG.

The company found a new life form, and they want you to study it. Their offer’s uncharacteristically generous – you catalog this organism, determine how they can use it, and bring it back so they can slap their patent on it. Fairly routine stuff.

In exchange, they’ll hook you up with a cushy corporate department head position, secure you a book deal, and make sure the institute of your choice gives you tenure. Did I mention the money? There’s a lot of it. A simple survey, sample, and analysis job. Seemed too good to be true.

Of course, it is.

This dark expansion is now available in the Free League webshop and at retailers worldwide, as a PDF at DriveThruRPG, and as a VTT module at Foundry and FantasyGrounds.

Alien: Heart of Darkness is a complete Cinematic Scenario for ALIEN The Roleplaying Game. It is a stand-alone adventure but also serves as a conclusion to the Draconis Strain Saga begun in the cinematic scenario Chariot of the Gods and continued in Destroyer of Worlds. The scenario is designed for 3–5 players plus the Game Mother and is a spiraling descent into soul-crushing madness.

The Heart of Darkness boxed set contains:

●    The main Heart of Darkness scenario book
●    A double-sided map (864x558mm) of the Erebos plasma trawling space station
●    Seven pre-generated characters to choose from
●    Custom cards for secret messages and personal agendas
●    Player maps and handouts

PLEASE NOTE: The ALIEN RPG core rulebook OR the ALIEN RPG Starter Set is required to play Heart of Darkness.
