Alien Dark [Free]

Alien Dark [Free]:

This is a game about people on the frontier of human space. Out here corporations compete for dominance while colonists risk everything to carve out a better life.  Alien Dark is based on the Cthulhu Dark rules (by Graham Walmsley) modified to reflect the setting. While inspired by the Alien franchise and the Alien RPG (Free League Publishing) it could be adapted to other sci-fi horror setting, but GMs will benefit from buying both these games.

Players take the role of people working on the frontier of human exploration as colonists or ship’s crew.  They may have been scientists or colonial marshals or even marines before this, but now they are cogs in the corporate machine, being confronted with the harsh reality of the Frontier.

This is a game where the fate of any character is bleak.   Even the mechanisms that help vent stress provide only transitory, and often costly, respite.  Often that cost will be to another player character …
