The official Blade Running RPG will take players to the streets of Los Angeles as Blade Runners with unique specialties, personalities – and memories. The game will push the boundaries of investigative gameplay, giving players a range of tools to solve cases. Additionally, the game will be exploring the 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 poisons and perseverance of hope and humanity.
The rules of the game are based on the acclaimed Year Zero Engine, used in award-winning games such as the ALIEN RPG, Tales From the Loop and Forbidden Lands, but further developed and uniquely tailored for Blade Runner.
“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 powers of empathy, the poisons of fear, and the burdens 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.”
