Alien RPG Building Better Worlds review: "Carrying on the quiet momentum of one of the best TTRPGs out there"

A figure in a spacesuit stands in an opening, leveling a torch toward the foreground.

The Alien: Building Better Worlds RPG expansion is aptly named - a module dedicated to the very act of worldbuilding itself. Yes, whereas the previous expansion was all about detailing what it meant to be one of those meathead Marines, here we have a module on exploring the expanding frontier of space, looking for fresh worlds to inhabit, and the challenge of terraforming new environments until they become halfway survivable. And if it turns out there's disconcertingly Freudian monsters that take objection to our wandering around their neighbourhood… well, at least try and rearrange your spilled organs into a helpful warning for future explorers before you die, OK?
