Facehuggers and Friends: An Alien RPG – Details, episodes & analysis

A deadly game of survival. A hilarious cast of survivors.

Strap in, space cowboys. This is Facehuggers and Friends, an actual play Alien RPG podcast created in celebration of FX’s brand new Alien: Earth series. We’re diving headfirst into the terrifying, acid-dripping universe of Alien with a wild, fully original campaign full of danger, dread, dark humor, and the occasional weapons-grade kitten.

Follow a scrappy crew of podcasters-turned-players as they take on the horrors of deep space in a story packed with sinister corporations, freaky new Xenomorph variants, and more bad decisions than you can shake a motion tracker at.

Meet the crew:

• Li Fen-Bao (Laura from Midday Movies): A tough-as-nails marine with a big gun and bigger grit.
• Freya Jadin (Jason from Rainy Day Rabbit Holes): A suspicious loner marshal with nerves of steel.
• Okamoto Renzo (Stephen from Midday Movies): A sharply dressed company man who never quite stops smiling.
• Amelia Edwards (Shea from Rainy Day Rabbit Holes): A reckless smuggler with quick hands, quicker thinking, and way too many pockets.
• Tamura “Lucky” Saburo (Kevin from Tyrant In Training): A fun-loving roughneck who deals with stress via sarcasm and smokes.
• Dr. Jak Powell (Bryon from Spirits and Monsters of Old Seattle): An unreliable scientist who may or may not be up to something—he’s usually left behind anyway.

Whether you're here for the space-horror, the ridiculous plans, or the laughs between the screams, Facehuggers and Friends is your ticket to the funniest nightmare in the galaxy.

In space, no one can hear you laugh... but we hope you do.
