Blade Runner: The Roleplaying Game is a science fiction tabletop role-playing game based on the Blade Runner film franchise. It was published by Free League Publishing in 2023.
The game is set in Los Angeles in the year 2039, partway between first film (set in 2019) and the second (set in 2049). It focuses upon complex stories with themes of fragile humanity and moral ambiguity.[1][2] Players typically play" "blade runners" employed by the Los Angeles Police Department.[3] Blade Runner: The Roleplaying Game won two ENNIE Awards in 2023: "Best Layout and Design" and "Best Cartography."[4]
Gameplay
The RPG uses a version of Free League Publishing's Year Zero Engine, which also provides the structure for Feel Eeague's alien RPG.[2] The game includes game mechanics for chase scenes on foot and in various vehicles. Adventures typically follow the form of detective stories.[1]
