This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Blade runner as a RPG?

Better tell Sam Spade that San Francisco is not noir.

Not anymore, I mean, yeah it's probably got some dark aspects, but it's not LA.  Which is still violent to this day.  San Fran is considered the mecca for the progressives.

Yeah, it's funny. There's not a single city on Earth where you couldn't run noir, IMO:)!

Quote from: Itachi;1003844No need for another full fledged hard sci-ish game/setting, IMO. Transhuman Space and Eclipse Phase already allow the exploration of those themes seen in the movies, and even more.

Oh, and about the wars in space that Batty saw? They were wars among replicants. Corp A's replicant army vs Corp B replicant army. The new film seem to corroborate on this.
I admit, I've also assumed that those were wars between replicants.
But that cover should have read "Far Future Enterprises";).

The person running this website is a racist who publicly advocates genocidal practices.

I am deleting my content.

I recommend you do the same.

IIRC the Soldier's service record listed "Tanhauser Gate" as a tour of duty.

Back in the '80s I ran about a year-long Blade Runner campaign set in England using the RQ3 rules (with a bit of CoC sanity thrown in). It was depressing as hell. It was a good time.
