Alien: Hope's Last Day

Description

"Hope's Last Day," released in December 2019, is a short Cinematic scenario for "Alien: The Roleplaying Game" from Free League Publishing. Written by Andrew E. C. Gaska, it was printed in the game's core rulebook.

The scenario is set during the final hours of the Hadley's Hope colony on LV-426, before the Colonial Marines of "Aliens" arrive. The players take five pre-generated colonist workers, from a cleaner to the synthetic mechanic Holroyd. Each character has a secret agenda and ties to the others, but all of them share one mission: to get off LV-426 alive.

The adventure covers what would normally be the third act of a Cinematic scenario and can be played in less than two hours. An expanded version is included in the Evolved Edition Starter Set, released in November 2025.
