Replicant Rebellion is set in the Los Angeles underground (no, not like the A-Team) and includes new player options, equipment, and rules. In Replicant Rebellion, the artificial persons of the Blade Runner universe are rising up and demanding their freedom.


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.

Key features:
  • 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.

I’m glad Replicant Rebellion is finally coming out. As much as I love Blade Runner and Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, the idea of roleplaying a bounty hunter paid to murder escaped slaves is just too much.

My report would say: "Routine retirement of replicant." That didn't make me feel any better about shooting a woman in the back.

The game is set in the far distant future of 2039, twenty years after the events of the movie, and the job of a blade runner has changed a bit. Replicants are no longer banned on Earth, so a blade runner's sole task is no longer "retiring" them. Instead, blade runners, some of whom are replicants themselves, are tasked with investigating criminal cases involving replicants whether they're suspects or victims. The Nexus 9 replicants were recently introduced, and I think those are the only ones that are legal on Earth, but you might run into some Nexus 8 fugitives who are supposed to be retired.

It's still a fairly intense subject and I think the game is most appropriate for shorter campaigns.
