Blade Runner RPG: Replicant Rebellion & Asset Pack Kickstarter Funds in 12 Minutes

May 28, 2024

Today, Free League Publishing launched the eagerly anticipated Kickstarter to fund the Replicant Rebellion for the excellent Blade Runner: The Roleplaying Game. The volume contains everything you need to create player characters who are part of the Replicant Underground, including Replicants themselves. The project funded in its first 12 minutes and you can reserve a copy of the hardcover (with PDF) for a pledge of approximately $38.00 through June 13th. Expected delivery is next February. There is also an Asset Pack as part of this Kickstarter and that can be reserved for a pledge of approximately $38.00 as well. You can score both for a pledge of approximately $66.00 or get the digital bundle for a pledge of approximately… you guessed it, $38.00.

About the project:

Replicant Rebellion massively expands the scope of the critically acclaimed tabletop RPG, recruiting players to join the ranks of the Replicant Underground in Los Angeles 2037. Set at the same time and place as the Core Rulebook, players explore this neon-noir cityscape from the opposite perspective – now running from Blade Runners in an evocative cat & mouse race of provocateurs and powder kegs lit to explode, expose, and oppose the establishment, one way or another.

For the Rebellion, players will run their own independent crew who must undertake a variety of operations, all while attempting to maintain their cover and keep their records clean. Are they helping fugitive Replicants evade capture? Sabotaging the Replicant trade? Grappling with the cops, courts, and megacorps? Clashing with warring crews and syndicates? Smoking out moles in your midst? In this big city of dazzling lights and moral contradictions, Replicant Rebellion flips the famous script of the beloved Blade Runner universe and dares you to explore how much you’re willing to lose for a cause that’s sacrificing it all. Yet regardless the price, the Rebellion must live on.

This Kickstarter campaign also offers an Asset Pack for use with both Replicant Rebellion and the core game. The Asset Pack includes a host of physical and digital handouts and tools for the Game Runner to create their own Case Files and Operations.
