As space truckers on the starfreighter USCSS Montero, you are used to running "the Gauntlet" - the trade route connecting Anchorpoint Station and the Frontier. Your ship's cargo hold is packed with dozens of tanks containing dangerous Tritium gas which is in the process of decaying into extremely profitable Hellum-3. Usually large tanker modules are used to tow higher concentrations of the gas safe distances, but the Montero isn't rated as a commercial towing vehicle. However, this is a small run - special order for Weyland-Yutani's corporate account on Sutter's World, a newly established Frontier colony. While the trip so far has been a piece of the proverbial cake, the Montero's sensors developed a glitch. Moments before your crew left Anchorpoint, the sensors pinged contact with a sensor reflection as you activated the displacement drive and went FTL. Now you find yourselves awakening from hypersleep, ready to deliver your goods to the colony of Sutter's World.

• Knowledge of Alien RPG is not required to play. I will provide resources and answer any questions you may have. You can find further details in [PLACEHOLDER].
   
• This is to be a long-form campaign that takes place over several months (possibly even a year). Your time and commitment is invaluable; however, I do not intend to exhaust you. I expect at least one post per week - more are welcome but not required. There will be no posting order; however, if two weeks pass with no word from you - I will be checking in to make sure everything is okay.
   
• Chariot of the Gods will focus on interpersonal relationships within a bleak, tragic, and terrifying setting. While there may be comedic and lively moments, this game is an Alien game at its core. Difficult material will arrive and your characters have a very real chance of dying a brutal death. Though they may die, I expect each of you to take the time to get attached and play your characters as realistically as possible. Hell, maybe some even fall in love. After all, what is a horror game without a little bit of trauma?
   
• I will be accepting 5 players. If more are interested, then I am open to running concurrent games. This campaign was published with premade characters. Their character sheets are below. You may play one of these, tweaking personality and backstory to your preference. You may also create your own character. If you do not have access to the CRB, that's fine. I will detail the progress in [PLACEHOLDER]. 
   
• Although this is a horror game and your characters will be placed in life-threatening situations, I expect players to be friendly with each other in OOC regardless of any character conflict. If Bob's character pulls a gun on Jane's character in fear, I don't expect Jane to harass Bob in OOC. In-game party conflict is expected.
   
  • C O M F O R T   &   S A F E T Y : If a topic is breached in game or OOC that you are uncomfortable with, please let everyone know immediately. You can also tell me directly so I can tell the group while you remain anonymous. The characters can be traumatized, but that doesn't mean you should be.

Yes, that's right - Gamemother. It's the wonderful title the Alien RPG gives it's DM. Just don't make it weird and call me mommy, okay?

I am a long-time lover of Alien, horror, and TTRPGs. So when I discovered Free League's Alien, I knew I had to have it immediately. Then the dreaded COVID hit and I ended up moving across the United States leaving me with no one to play this wonderful game with. Hopefully you will allow me to share it with you!

Please be patient with me. While I have DM'd many games around a legitimate table, this is my first venture into the realm of Forum DMing. I will be doing my absolute best to ensure that we both have an amazing game/writing experience.

If this is your first time in an Alien RPG, I strongly encourage you to take one of the following characters. You may tweak them as you see fit, provided their stats remain the same.

Claim a character by providing their backstory. If more than one person wishes to play the same character, I will make the ultimate decision.

The completed premade character sheets (including abilities and gear) can be found here.

If you wish to create your own, go [PLACEHOLDER].
