What is this system

A detective RPG set in the world of Blade Runner 2037. You are Blade Runners, LAPD detectives investigating cases involving replicants. The system is designed for investigations: analyzing evidence, interrogations, moral dilemmas. Not an action game — a noir procedural.

Setting

Los Angeles, 2037. Neon rain, colossal holograms, off-world colonies. New generation replicants live among humans, and the line between 'human' and 'machine' has been erased entirely. Corporations control everything, and the streets overflow with despair.

What it looks like at the table

Day shift. You're interrogating a witness — a woman who swears she saw her neighbor cry oil. Empathy roll: two d6s and one d10. Success — she's lying. You check her wrist. A serial number. She's a replicant. And you realize you have the exact same scar in the exact same spot.

Key mechanics

Evidence system

Each case is a web of clues, connections, and witnesses. The investigation mechanic is structured but non-linear.

Humanity

Humanity mechanic. How far will you go to remain human? What if you're a replicant and don't know it?

Shift system

Work shifts structure time. Each shift has a limited number of actions. Time management as gameplay.

Partners

Human + replicant in the same unit. Built-in tension between players from session one.

What people say

I don't like to use the word 'perfect' often, but I'm going there now. The Blade Runner RPG captures the themes and feel of the source material perfectly.— Mollie Russell, Wargamer

Blade Runner is a well-executed RPG, it is exactly Blade Runner the RPG and not one thing more.— Aaron Marks, Cannibal Halfling Gaming
