Man, imagine if this KS was like, ten years ago, it would have blown people's minds.

"I have the money to buy a Hollywood license but need your money to make my dream come true!"

It's just a pre-order system with extra steps now.

Didn't expect this to be a crowdfunding, but well, I will throw my money at it anyway (just like I did for 90% of the other Free League games).

I'll let my friend buy it. Already too many unused Free League RPGs...

That's pretty much how I've always used Kickstarter. It's just a fancy way for me to pre-order and maybe get some addons for doing so.

If anyone's interested: as part of the social media advertising, Free League shared a page from the book today.

I love the movies, though the whole thing of hunting down slaves and killing them ... ugh. I mean, I understand with American police being "rollers" as I heard friends in Oakland call them, still.

It's messy for sure and if you cant rationalize then might as well not pick it up. Though, they may have their reasons, runaway replicants have a tendency to be homicidal maniacs'. BR2049 was trying to move away from that, which doesnt make it any less messy.

In the 1982 movie, Bryant tells Deckard that six replicants escaped killing 23 people in the process. We only see four in the movie because two of them were killed trying to break into Tyrell before the start. And, yeah, they're not too shy about killing people. Even poor Sebastian. Though if I were created to be slave and given 4 years to live I'd probably be pretty pissed off about it.

The report read "Routine retirement of a replicant." That didn't make me feel any better about shooting a woman in the back.

So far Alien is the only Free League game I own and I consider it one of the best RPGs that emulates its source material very well. So I'm very interested to see what they do with Blade Runner.
