“More people have gone missing around Olive Hill of late. Some say it has something to do with those speedsters the state cops can't seem to catch. Others say something foul is seeping up out of the old Mushroom Mines. Whatever it is, surely someone out there can put a stop to it? Or else fall prey to the horrors lurking about. Until next time Children… Sleep well.”

“The veil of mist is weakening, a twisted realm is bleeding into the world. The frayed strings are leading our ragtag group like Perseus into a labyrinth of terror. Welcome to the horror show. Watch out for the puppets, they bite. Until next time Children… Sleep well.”

In this episode of RPX Rollup, we're rolling up characters for Free League's Alien Evolved, the updated edition of their acclaimed sci-fi horror RPG. Set in the 2180s, Alien Evolved places players on the frontier of colonized space, where they'll navigate corporate greed, cosmic horror, and everyone's favorite xenomorphs. We try out both the traditional point-buy system and the extensive Life Path generator to see how each shapes character backstory and gameplay—discovering how tragedy, betrayal, and random dice rolls can create deeply invested characters before the game even begins. Because in space, no one can hear you scream—and time dilation is a bitch.
“Anyone heard about the strange accident that happened last night on Main street? Ambulances and Police have a whole stretch cordoned off.

“Well it seems the tri-state area is getting weirder out there. Sightings abound, of large wolf creatures, strange noises in the woods and one hell of a speed demon racing car that state police still refuse to apprehend.

“Have y’all heard of those speed demons out on the back roads and country highways? They’re stirring up trouble for the local authorities.
