About the Adventure

The sudden appearance of a spaceship wasn’t the strange thing. The fact that nobody responded to the communications… that was.  So you’ve been called upon to explore the ship, salvage any materials, and discover what happened to the crew and any survivors. Nothing could have prepared you for the anomaly, or the insanity that now threatens your body and mind. Will you make it out alive?

This Dead Space campaign is a short campaign (approximately 8-10 sessions).

 

How to Prepare

This game will teach you how to play from the ground up. No prior experience is necessary. You may wish to consider: what are your character’s primary motivations for living and working in deep space. Do they have family with them? Do they have family left behind? What skillset do they provide? These questions are merely to kickstart your imagination. Feel free to come to the first session with nothing but a desire to play.

The only thing you need to be concerned about preparing is your audio/video components on your computer. Cameras are not required, but they are recommended. Microphone is necessary.

You don’t need to be familiar with the world of Dead Space, but it doesn’t hurt. Feel free to play one of the video games to set expectations.

 

Materials Provided

All materials that you need in order to play will be provided. If you prefer physical dice, you may use them as long as the rest of the table agrees. If you do, you’ll need six d6 dice (the normal dice). Everything else you need will be provided: characters, character sheets, maps, digital dice, rules, etc.

This game will use Alchemy RPG (VTT) to facilitate play. You will need to create an account with Alchemy.

This game runs on a combination of the rules from ALIEN RPG and Coriolis: The Third Horizon. You do NOT need to be familiar with the rules before playing, everything will be explained as needed.

 

Who will like this game?

Fans of the Dead Space video games or the Prometheus-Alien universe will enjoy this game.

TTRPG players who enjoy the deadly, challenging encounters but don’t want to die immediately will enjoy this game.

TTRPG players who are looking to unearth a deadly mystery and balance sanity with power will enjoy this game.

Great intro to a new game

February 7, 2024

Finally had a chance to try out Delta Green, had a blast. Explanation of the rules was simple and enough to get us started quickly, and the case introduction got us into the world with ease. Largely narrative (a style I prefer), we all had plenty of opportunity to describe our actions, reactions, and thoughts as we worked to solve the mystery.

EJ did a great job with balancing making space for player narrative while still pushing the story forward.

Where to begin?

February 2, 2024

To say that EJ is a good GM is an understatement. He is a great collaborative storyteller who adapts to player choices. He fosters a truly special atmosphere.

His enthusiasm creates a safe and inclusive space where everyone feels comfortable exploring their characters and contributing to the narrative. His dedication to your enjoyment shines through, making him a gem in the online DnD community.

If you’re looking for a wonderful GM who will challenge, inspire, and leave you yearning for the next adventure, connect with EJ. You won’t be disappointed.

Alien RPG - Roll for IRL Stress.

January 21, 2024

So this was my first time ever playing the Alien RPG and EJ took my group through all the basic rulings, how to play with this new system along with how to use the software that he wanted to use to give us our sessions experience (Fantasty Grounds).

After the session started we were greated with an atmospheric soundscape and creative descriptions that enabled us to get deep into the game before all of the choas started to envelop and ensue.

I chose to be a Scientist and was turned on faster than a spit roast in a southern BBQ, having all of my fellow players become true to their characters and with EJ helping us to play through our actions even for ones that the game doesn’t overly support, meanwhile the whole time helping myself to learn to become a game M.O.T.H.E.R. myself.

Using our audio queues and laughing as a group the level of stress induced by the games mechanics and the tension of the game causing enough to make my real self induce stress and anxiety as I try to survive, I even tried to blow up my fellow colonists which was met with hiliarity and I was allowed to explain how I died in a glory of Grenade Frag and Acid Death!!

It’s very hard to find a D/GM these days that isn’t trying to push the standard social narative and he understood our group within minutes and made us all feel very comfortable, understanding our choices, social comedy levels and language levels.

I can’t thank him enough for getting us into playing this game and I hope we can do more work again together in the future, hands down a chill dude and a great time.

Brilliant introduction with an amazing lasting Impression

January 21, 2024

I recently had the pleasure of participating in an ALIEN RPG session run by EJ Boston (Emmanuel) on this page, and it was nothing short of phenomenal. The scenario, “Hope’s Last Day,” set against the backdrop of “Hadley’s Hope” from the iconic film “Aliens,” provided an unforgettable experience that exceeded all expectations.

The pre-packaged scenario delivered a gripping narrative, and the personal agendas woven into the storyline added a surprising level of depth to the characters. Each character was not just a participant but a crucial part of the unfolding drama, making the story feel three-dimensional and highly engaging.

Emmanuel showcased exceptional skills in mastering the game, demonstrating a profound understanding of the source material. What truly set him apart was his ability to seamlessly adapt to our specific player choices, turning the session into a collaborative and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

The suspenseful atmosphere created using the Fantasy Grounds app, coupled with carefully chosen music, added an extra layer of immersion. The pacing was impeccable, keeping us on the edge of our seats throughout the entire duration of the session.

The introduction to the Alien RPG ruleset was smooth, with just the right amount of time dedicated to explanation. The use of pre-generated characters with well-defined motivations made it easy for players to immerse themselves in the game. EJ Boston skilfully managed player interactions, allowing us to contribute to the unfolding story, making it a truly collaborative adventure.

In summary, if you’re looking for an intense, heart-pounding, and immersive experience that stays true to the Alien universe, EJ Boston is the master storyteller to turn to. This session was not just a game; it was an unforgettable journey into the dark and eerie corridors of storytelling excellence.

Kudos to EJ Boston for creating an extraordinary gaming experience that left a lasting impression!

Had a great time, really thoughtful GM

December 30, 2023

I played in a learn to play one shot of The One Ring a couple of weeks ago; this was my first time playing in one of EJ’s games, and I had a great time. Learn to plays can be tough, because you are trying to create an engaging story, teach the rules, and provide scenarios within that story to demonstrate the rules in action, all within a single session. EJ did a masterful job, even going slightly beyond our scheduled time slot to make sure the group got to have a combat encounter.

I’m definitely going to play in his games again.
