Colonial Marines: What Comes Home to Roost 6c [Alien Campaign Play]
Session 6C is the final session of a short Colonial Marines campaign for Alien: The Roleplaying Game, from Free League. Trapped aboard the conjoined wrecks of the Montebello and the Conestoga as the two dying ships fall toward LV-426, 'Rock' Kaminiski's marines seek a means of escape with their important revelations. In possession of the full details of the plot hatched between Brigadier General Charles Tenet with various executives inside Weyland-Yutani and executed by the rogue merc Regis Lim, the squad intends to do whatever it takes to bring the corruption to light and end the threat of Species XX121 - but only if they can survive the two horrors stalking the crew, and the thing that used to be Patch Patterson...
Due to the shortness of time available, each video in this Actual Play series is considered to be half of one normal session of play (Part A or Part B). This campaign is being run as a Troupe, so players have access to a set of characters during each mission.
This is the completion of Mission 6 and with it the campaign. It brings all the major players together for a chance to see who are the last marines standing.
