Welcome to the REPLICANT REBELLION expansion for the official BLADE RUNNER roleplaying game. An evocative cat & mouse race of provocateurs and powderkegs 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, wrestling with the hypocrisies of the justice system, the razor’s edge between reform and revenge, and the burdens of having too much to lose for a cause sacrificing it all. Yet regardless the price, the Rebellion must live on.

The streets are teeming with Blade Runners, attacking from every angle, even from within. 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.
So get ready to maintain your cover story as you conspire, reconnoiter, and sabotage throughout the city, unheard and unseen. Grapple with the cops, courts, and megacorps while keeping your record clean, so you can hit them where it hurts, then disappear without a trace. All in pursuit of miracles and a better future you’ll likely never see. Few ever know if they even made a dent in the grand scheme of things. But then again, who does?
CONTENT WARNING. The Blade Runner franchise deals with dark and mature themes, and this roleplaying game is no different. The stories told in this game can be violent, distressing, and raise issues relating to personal morals. This is not a game for children.
The REPLICANT REBELLION book is a full-color, hardback major expansion to the multiple award-winning official BLADE RUNNER roleplaying game from Free League Publishing and Alcon Entertainment. It flips the game setting on its head, allowing players to take the roles of Replicants and humans fighting back against those who exploit, abuse, and kill Replicants.
REPLICANT REBELLION includes a deep dive into the underground world of Blade Runner in the year 2037, at least four new character archetypes, new rules for Covers and Heat, rules for playing and creating Operations, and at least three complete Operations to play. The book will be further expanded if stretch goals are unlocked during the campaign.
The main creative crew from the BLADE RUNNER RPG core game continues on REPLICANT REBELLION with Tomas Härenstam as game director and lead designer, Joe LeFavi as setting writer, Christian Granath as graphic designer, and cover artist Martin Grip, plus new recruits: Eren Arik (Dune) as lead interior artist and Johan Nohr (MÖRK BORG, CY_BORG) providing mind-melting interstitials as the subversive voice of the Rebellion.
This Kickstarter campaign also offers you an ASSET PACK for the BLADE RUNNER roleplaying game – playable with both REPLICANT REBELLION and the core game. The ASSET PACK includes a host of physical and digital handouts and tools for the Game Runner to create their own Case Files and Operations.
The items in the ASSET PACK include Independent Sentinel front pages, location maps, crime scene photos, NPC mugshots, data sheets, Esper photos, and more. Additional assets can be unlocked as stretch goals.
Soon after the Kickstarter ends all backers will get early access to an Alpha PDF of REPLICANT REBELLION. Later, but still months ahead of the official release, backers get a complete PDF of both REPLICANT REBELLIONand the ASSET PACK.
“The Blade Runner RPG nails Ridley Scott’s vision, and adds pitch-perfect investigative mechanics.” –Polygon review
The official BLADE RUNNER RPG, released in 2022 and winning multiple industry awards, propels you into the streets of Los Angeles as Blade Runners with unique specialties, personalities – and memories.
If you’re new to the game, this Kickstarter is the perfect place to get started, offering the Starter Set, Core Rules, and Case File 02: Fiery Angels at unbeatable prices.
The game pushes the boundaries of investigative gameplay in tabletop RPGs, giving you a range of tools to solve an array of cases far beyond retiring Replicants. Beyond the core casework, the RPG showcases the key themes of Blade Runner – sci-fi action, corporate intrigue, existential character drama, and moral conflict.
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.
“We’re not alone in our celebration of Free League’s work, which received multiple industry awards. But I think that the newest boxed set, Case File 02: Fiery Angels, might be my favorite piece yet, mainly because it makes me feel like Harrison Ford from page one..” –Polygon review
Released earlier this year and following the same deluxe format and packaging as the award-winning Case File in the Blade Runner RPG Starter Set, Case File 02: Fiery Angels features a new thrilling investigative scenario and a host of in-world handouts, photos, maps and more.
You can order Case File 02: Fiery Angels in this Kickstarter, as part of a bundle or as a separate add-on, at a reduced price.
We’re happy to team up with our virtual tabletop partners Alchemy RPG and Foundry to create full content modules for REPLICANT REBELLION. The Alchemy module is a stretch goal and will be included for all backers on the Digital Edition level and above. The Foundry modules for REPLICANT REBELLION and the ASSET PACK are available as add-ons to this campaign.
You can enhance your pledge with Foundry VTT modules or extra print copies of REPLICANT REBELLION and the ASSET PACK. You can also add-on previous releases such as Case File 02: Fiery Angels and the Core Rules, Starter Set and extras like the GM Screen and Dice Set, as well as other Free League RPG core games.
All add-ons will ship together with the rest of your rewards from this Kickstarter. (If you want to get these items immediately, you’ll find most of them in our webshop.) Please note that add-ons can incur additional shipping fees.
