Description

Building Better Worlds is a complete campaign module for the official ALIEN roleplaying game, giving you all the tools you need to run a full open-world campaign as a pioneering explorer or colonist. Written by Andrew E. C. Gaska, it was published by Free League Publishing in January 2024 as the game's second campaign module, after the Colonial Marines Operations Manual.

The book covers the history of colonization, expanded character creation rules for life on the frontier, new gear and spaceships, and a catalog of new Xenomorphic creatures. The Lost Worlds chapter gives the framework for a frontier campaign, followed by six expeditions into uncharted space that can be played in any order. The ALIEN RPG core rulebook is required to use this book.
