Last December Free League introduced Blade Runner: The Roleplaying Game to the tabletop market. Given the brand, its success was all but guaranteed, and now the company is introducing two expansions for the game.
The first is Case File #02, Fiery Angels (if you’re wondering, Case File #01, Electric Dreams, was included with the Core Set). Says Free League, “This new investigation starts off with the Blade Runners assigned to question a suspect arrested while trying to infiltrate the Wallace Corporation Memory Vaults. The case leads the team down a perilous path that explores the boundaries of Replicant technology and its consequences. The player characters need to contend with an array of physical, mental, and moral challenges.”
The module will include:
- A beautifully illustrated and detailed scenario book with locations, characters, events, and leads to follow.
- A manila envelope containing around 20 handouts, including a variety of in-world artifacts and Esper photos.
- Half a dozen full-color, double-sided maps.

After the release of Fiery Angels, a much larger expansion called Replicant Rebellion will follow. It’s a different setting than the main game, casting you and your friends as members of a Replicant underground movement in 2037 LA. Within the set you will find:
- An overview of the history and organization of the Replicant underground, charting its presence throughout the Blade Runner timeline.
- Detailed guidelines on how to play a Replicant underground campaign, including several new player character archetypes.
- Half a dozen complete Operations (i.e., complete adventures) to play for a cell in the Replicant underground.

In Blade Runner: The Roleplaying Game, each player will assume the role of a detective searching the rainy streets of cyberpunk LA, on the hunt for Replicants. Note that the Blade Runners can be either human or Replicant themselves. The game is set between the first and second movies, so around 2037, shortly after the Wallace Corporation lets their new Nexus-9 models on the streets, much harder to tell the difference.
You can find the Blade Runner RPG at most hobby shops now. Fiery Angels is scheduled to be released sometime this fall, while Replicant Rebellion will come out sometime in 2024.
