Blade Runner rpg
Warder:
Free Legue Publishing has gotten the rights to publish this. According to the blurb:
''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.''
So these developers recently made Alient the rpg. Are people here interested or is the fact old popular movies from the 80s are getting rpg adaptations left and right or not? Today im leaning towards a cynical take but first i wanted to know what you all think.
Nephil:
Really don't see the point, things like blade runner, aliens and dune are too self-contained to make good adventure settings in my opinion.
wmarshal:
I can see some use for scenario ideas they may come up with. I have their Aliens rpg, and I can’t say that I like their system.
HappyDaze:
I'm not a huge fan of the Year Zero Engine, but I might pick this up if there's much to it beyond the film. I mean, is there really enough just in the film for a game?
oggsmash:
If its the same as the rules for aliens, I wonder if it has rules to make the entire world look like a filthy gas station bathroom.
