Alien: The Roleplaying Game (FR)

This is the FRENCH version of the game. 

“I can’t lie to you about your chances, but … you have my sympathies.”

Space is vast, dark, and not your friend. Gamma rays and neutrino bursts erupt from dying stars to cook you alive, black holes tear you apart, and the void itself boils your blood and seizes your brain. Try to scream and no one can hear you—hold your breath and you rupture your lungs. Space isn’t as empty as you’d think, either—its frontiers are ever expanding. Rival governments wage a cold war of aggression while greedy corporations vie for valuable resources.

Colonists reach for the stars and gamble with their lives—each new world tamed is either feast or famine. And there are things lurking in the shadows of every asteroid—things strange and different and deadly.


This is the official ALIEN tabletop roleplaying game—a universe of body horror and corporate brinkmanship, where synthetic people play god while space truckers and marines serve host to newborn ghoulish creatures. It’s a harsh and unforgiving universe and you are nothing if not expendable.  

Stay alive if you can.

The rules of this game are based on the very popular Year Zero Engine, which powers award-winning games like Tales from the Loop, Forbidden Lands and Mutant: Year Zero. It has been adapted and expanded to serve the main themes of ALIEN: horror and action in the dark, icy vastness of space.

 This richly illustrated, full-color hardcover book presents the world of ALIEN in 2183, along with brief, effective rules designed to give you an intense experience in this universe. The game includes two distinct modes:

* Movie Mode is based on scenarios written to replicate the dramatic unfolding of a movie from the ALIEN franchise. Designed for a single play session, this fast-paced and brutal mode emphasizes urgency and high stakes. Not all of you are expected to survive. The core book contains an introductory scenario in Cinema Mode, Hope's Last Day.

* Campaign Mode is designed to be played continuously with the same team of player characters over several play sessions, to freely explore the ALIEN universe in a sandbox environment. This rulebook contains random tables and other tools that will allow you to create star systems, colonies, missions, encounters and NPCs for your campaign.

You don't get paid enough to deal with the monsters. But hold your breath, count to three and play your cards right, and you might just come away very rich. Oh, but who am I trying to fool?
