Blade Runner RPG: Replicant Rebellion Announced

In 2022 Free League introduced a Blade Runner tabletop RPG to the market. It couldn’t help but sell, and the expected expansions came forthwith: Fiery Angels was intoduced in 2023, and soon for 2024 we will have Replicant Rebellion, the second expansion.

While the first two scenarios have cast players as Blade Runners, this new one flips the script and puts everyone in roles of Replicants. You’re secretly planning a rebellion against society while attempting to remain hidden and disguised among the masses. The specific goals will be up to you: possible plots include helping fugitive Replicants, sabotaging the Replicant trade, going to war with rival robo-gangs and syndicates, and more. “Replicant Rebellion dares you to explore how much you’re willing to lose for a cause that’s sacrificing it all,” says Free League. “Yet regardless the price, the Rebellion must live on.”

Replicant Rebellion for Blade Runner: The Roleplaying Game will include:

• An in-depth overview of the history and organization of the Replicant Underground, charting its presence throughout the Blade Runner Universe.
• Detailed guidelines on how to play a Replicant Underground campaign, including several new player character archetypes and various new rules, such as maintaining Covers and sweating the Heat as the law closes in.
• Several complete Operations (i.e., full adventures) to play for a crew in the Replicant Underground.

The crowdfunding campaign for Blade Runner RPG: Replicant Rebellion is set to go live next week, May 28. We’ll have more about it then.
