Blade Runner The Role Playing Game
This is the BLADE RUNNER Roleplaying Game. A neon noir wonderland that will take your breath away, one way or another. An evocative world of conflicts and contrasts that dares to ask the hard questions and investigate the power of empathy, the poison of fear, and the burden of being human during inhumane times. An iconic and unforgiving playground of endless possibilities that picks you up, slaps you in the face, and tells you to wake up.
Time to live. Or time to die.
The official BLADE RUNNER RPG will propel players into the streets of Los Angeles as Blade Runners with unique specialties, personalities – and memories. The core game and its line of expansions will push the boundaries of investigative gameplay in tabletop RPGs, giving players a range of tools to solve an array of cases far beyond retiring Replicants.
Beyond the core casework, the RPG will both in setting and mechanics showcase key themes of Blade Runner – action, corporate intrigue, existential character drama, and moral conflict – that challenge player characters to question their friends, empathize with their enemies, and explore the perseverance of hope and humanity.
CONTENT WARNING
The Blade Runner franchise deals with dark and existential themes, and this role playing game is no different. The stories told in this game can be violent, distressing, and raise issues relating to personal morals. This is not a game for children.
