More about Blade Runner RPG

Released in 2022, Blade Runner RPG has earned multiple industry awards and expands investigative gameplay in tabletop RPGs, giving players tools to solve cases far beyond retiring Replicants. The rules are based on the acclaimed Year Zero Engine, used in games such as ALIEN The Roleplaying GameTales from the Loop, and Forbidden Lands, but further developed and tailored for the world of Blade Runner.

With Replicant Rebellion and Asset Pack & Solo Mode, Tomas Härenstam continues as game director and lead designer, with Joe LeFavi as setting writer and Martin Grip as cover artist. New contributors include Eren Arik (Dune) as lead interior artist, and Johan Nohr (MÖRK BORGCY_BORG) contributes stylized in-world content as the subversive voice of the Rebellion.
