Re: Running Blade Runner at conventions (4 hour one-shot)

I JUST completed running Electric Dreams at MaricopaCon this last Saturday in a 4 hour slot! I had a full panel of 4 PC's using all the PreGens. Frankly, for myself and my players, I wished I chose a 6 hour slot. I think you can do it but much depends on your group and your style. We got through all...

Rules Clarification: Replicant Advantages after Creation

I was looking through the Core book trying to find a list of replicant advantages post creation. I could not find one. Going from memory and trying to find what I can, am I correct that after creation (which of course they have advantages given there) the only in-play advantages are: They can push t...

Re: Suggestions for Secret Replicants?

I finally made it back on the forums and read your last. Thank you! Current Update: So, she knows she is pregnant at this point but not a replicant. She just completed Electric Dreams. Something I should have pointed out, this scenario for a secret replicant is working great for a single PC game. I ...

Re: Suggestions for Secret Replicants?

Thank you and excellent question. The pregnancy alone will be the first bombshell hit. This should cause both player and the player's character to start to wonder about themselves. Can a human female conceive with a replicant or is that evidence that the female must also be a replicant? Who knows? (...

Re: Detective Noir: We Played Case File “Electric Dreams” for Blade Runner RPG

Honestly, I too have had some problems with how the resolve/stress mechanic works in the game when taken literally from the game rules. Replicants seem to have been given limited resolve as a way of balancing human PC's vs Replicants in terms of power. This is fine, but with their resolve pool being...

Re: Chinyen

From what can see from the rules, Chinyen bears absolutely no resemblance to reality nor is it even trying to. It is simply and purely an abstract game mechanic meant to limit character possessions to be very few and deliberate choices, rather than having run-on lists of gear with encumbrance and mo...

Re: Detective Noir: We Played Case File “Electric Dreams” for Blade Runner RPG

Were your replicants rolling their Insight rolls to retain their resolve and also pushing those rolls if needed? They should succeed 52% even with D Insight and D empathy.

Re: Suggestions for Secret Replicants?

Ok here's mine; I told my player her character is a human. What she does not know is that she is a replicant. Here's her story that she (the player) does not know yet: She is a Tyrell N-7. Same generation as Rachel. No expiration. No eyeball serials. Only way to be found out if via a Critical Succes...

Re: Rules Clarification: Identifying a Nexus 9

As to the ease of reading N-9's: If it helps, I noticed in the BR2049, it did not seem a very easy thing to get Sapper Morton's ID. He had to be forced and it seemed K had to use some kind of reader (KIA?) to make it visible and record it. Maybe the reader device is rare and proprietary? For the gam...
