Blade Runner: The Roleplaying Game Sees the Rise of the Machines in Replicant Rebellion

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 Blade Runner: The Roleplaying Game. An evocative cat and mouse race of provocateurs and powder kegs 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, walking a razor’s edge between reform and revenge, and bearing the burdens of having too much to lose for a cause expecting you to sacrifice it all. Yet regardless of the price, the Rebellion must live on.

  • 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.
