(RPG PDF Spotlight) Blade Runner RPG Replicant Rebellion

RPG PDF Spotlights is a new daily look at a recent release for a new tabletop roleplaying game, supplement or scenario, or solo journaling game, that has caught my eye. This isn’t a review, although I hope we can start offering reviews in addition to our news coverage in the future, more of a “hey guys, check this out!” shoutout.

Replicant Rebellion

Blade Runner RPG Supplement by Free League Publishing

The streets are teeming with Blade Runners, attacking from every angle. Wallace Corp has LA under its private microscope, scalpel at the ready. The city is reeling from the return of Replicants just a year ago, and one controversy could spark an anti-Replicant brushfire, rallying the seething mobs into an outright civil war with humans and Nexus on both sides.

You are a member of the Replicant Underground, a decentralized network of independent rebels dismantling the machine one cog at a time. The Underground is everyone and no one. Human and Replicant. Soldiers, smugglers, street rats, senators, and saboteurs. Grizzled vets, off-grid ghosts, even a few born yesterday. Quite literally.

Welcome to the REPLICANT REBELLION expansion for the official BLADE RUNNER roleplaying game. An evocative cat & mouse race of provocateurs and powderkegs lit to explode, expose, and oppose the establishment, one way or another. In a neon-noir city of dazzling lights and moral contradictions, it’s you on the streets, wrestling with the hypocrisies of the justice system, the razor’s edge between reform and revenge, and the burdens of having too much to lose for a cause sacrificing it all. Yet regardless the price, the Rebellion must live on.

Key features:

• Detailed information about the Replicant Underground and its history, assets, and operations.

• New character archetypes and specialties.

• New rules for Heat and maintaining your cover.

• New gear and weapons.

• Five thrilling Operations, playable separately or connected in a longer campaign.

Replicant Rebellion is available through DriveThru RPG in PDF
