Fans of Free League Publishing’s Blade Runner The Roleplaying Game have not one but two new releases to enhance your games with the recently-launched Replicant Rebellion and Asset Pack & Solo Mode. Both releases are available now from the Free League webshop with immediate PDF access, and digitally via DriveThruRPG and the Foundry VTT.
Replicant Rebellion is a new campaign expansion places players in the role of members of the Replicant Underground, a decentralized network of rebels operating in the shadows of 2037 Los Angeles. With Wallace Corp watching the city, Blade Runners closing in, and tensions rising after the return of Replicants, players must navigate a conflict where humans and Replicants can be found on both sides.
The expansion includes the following:
- Five Operations that can be played separately or connected into a longer campaign
- New character archetypes and specialties
- Rules for Heat and maintaining cover
- New gear and weapons
- Detailed information on the Replicant Underground’s history, assets, and operations
Meanwhile, the Asset Pack for the Blade Runner RPG gives Game Runners maps, handouts, and visual tools for creating their own Case Files, while the included Solo Mode booklet gives players everything they need to to play without a Game Runner.
The Asset Pack includes:
- A 24-page solo mode booklet with tools and guidelines for playing without a Game Runner
- 20 detailed action maps covering a wide variety of Blade Runner locations
- 18 cardboard character standees for use with the action maps
- 28 mugshot cards featuring denizens of future-noir LA, including characters from the films such as Mariette and Gaff
- 10 detailed data sheets of key individuals
- Eight crime scene photos with hidden clues for players to discover
- Two Esper surveillance photos
- A Heat Meter showing how hot the streets are
- Three Independent Sentinel front pages with news and leads from 2037 Los Angeles
