This follows on from the Swedish publisher’s recent successful Aliens RPG, and a million dollar The One Ring Kickstarter.



The official Blade Runner RPG will propel players into the streets of Los Angeles as Blade Runners with unique specialties, personalities – and memories.

The core game and its line of expansions will push the boundaries of investigative gameplay in tabletop RPGs, giving players a range of tools to solve an array of cases far beyond retiring Replicants. Beyond the core casework, the RPG will both in setting and mechanics showcase key themes of Blade Runner – sci-fi action, corporate intrigue, existential character drama, and moral conflict – that challenge players to question your friends, empathize with your enemies, and explore the poisons and perseverance of hope and humanity during such inhumane times.

The rules of the game are based on the acclaimed Year Zero Engine, used in award-winning games such as the ALIEN RPG, Tales From the Loop and Forbidden Lands, but further developed and uniquely tailored for Blade Runner.

Really jazzed about this one. Free League has been making amazing products. A cyberpunk investigative game. If they can only avoid the gun fetishism that permeates most other cyberpunk games it could be amazing.

Oh...here's to hoping the system is close enough to Alien that you could do a cross over.

You know what would be great...

If there's a way to connect an Aliens RPG with this new RPG...

Because, technically...they are the same world...but a century apart.

Add in Soldier and the trilogy will be complete.
Oh yeah. I forgot that Soldier was in this world. Good looking out.

This game will sit nicely along side my old Bubblegum Crisis books.
 

While I'm not ART!, I am an Art. So quick question. How many d6's a typically rolled? What's about the max size of the pool?
Only thing I'll add to what @Skywalker said is that, unlike with some dice pool/successes-based games, even a single success is usually a pretty big deal in the Year Zero Engine system. So it's not like Shadowrun or Vampire where one success is pathetic and you generally need lots to win the day.
