BLADE RUNNER – THE ROLEPLAYING GAME
 
A neon-noir wonderland that’ll take your breath away ― one way or another. An evocative world of conflicts and contrasts that dares to ask the hard questions and investigate the powers of empathy, the poisons of fear, and the burdens of being human during inhumane times. An iconic and unforgiving playground of endless possibilities that picks you up, slaps you in the face, and tells you to wake up. Time to live. Or time to die.

The official Blade Runner The Roleplaying Game propels players into the streets of Los Angeles as Blade Runners with unique specialties, personalities – and memories. The RPG showcases the key themes of Blade Runner – science fiction action, corporate intrigue, existential character drama, and moral conflict.

After a record-breaking Kickstarter earlier that year, The Blade Runner RPG Core Rulebook and Starter Set were released in December 2022 by Free League Publishing in partnership with Alcon Entertainment. The game was shortlisted for the Origins Awards this year and the Starter Set won both the Judges' Choice and People's Choice awards at the UK Games Expo.
