About the adventure
What does it mean to be real? What makes us all truly human? Is it our capacity to feel emotion, our ability to create, or something else entirely that defines us? This brings us to the question swirling throughout society as we hear of the great achievements by the Tyrell Corporation in creating Replicants. Reports are slowly surfacing that they have started to become sentient, exhibit dissonant behaviors, and even…showing what can only be deemed as human emotion. The larger cities of the world have now been training and employing humans known as Blade Runners to hunt down the Replicants that have to be malfunctioning with the behaviors they seem to be exhibiting. Surely that’s it. Surely they aren’t…real. Set in parallel to the events of the first movie, Blade Runner, you and the team you are partnered up with are hired to investigate a group of replicants that have gone missing and are hiding within the Los Angeles, CA., area. Eldon Tyrell, himself, has hired you to take care of this unfortunate bit of business as these Replicants escaped from his own compound where they were being made. This would seem like a fairly run of the mill snatch and grab job that you and your teammates have performed many times before except… Why does Eldon Tyrell seem to be dodgy with any of the information on the Replicants? He hired you after all. So what does he have to hide…?

How to prepare
The Jester’s Toybox games offer the theatre of the mind, for the most part, so no need for minis; however, we will utilize Roll20 for maps of the city to better maneuver. What players will need is a Discord account, a Roll20 account, working webcam and mic, and an understanding of Blade Runner TTRPG at a high-level to start. You can be a beginner to both TTRPGs and Blade Runner, no worries. You will need your own dice. Character sheet and stats will be tracked within your fillable character sheet and saved to a share drive as time progresses. Custom content is provided for by the gamemaster within the Google Share drive as well. Custom game content may be considered for use at the gamemaster’s discretion. Please discuss with your gamemaster prior to gameplay for anything you’d like to add custom to the game for your character.
What I provide
As your gamemaster is also an artist, you will likely have illustrations of your character(s), poignant scenes from the campaign as time goes on, and full party illustrations appear. Additionally, maps will eventually be revealed for key areas as well as Los Angeles over all within Roll20, for players to enjoy and reference!
Gameplay details
At all times will the players feel safe and respected within gameplay. Prior consent forms will be sent to players to complete and return to the gamemaster in order to ensure no boundaries are breached. Additionally, if there is something that comes up as the campaign unfolds that has potential as a trigger, it will be discussed out of game with players in order to additionally ensure gameplay comfort. This is a long-play campaign with the intent to run a long while before the core goal is accomplished. Expectations for gameplay will include deeply immersive storytelling set within a science-fiction/cyberpunk/dystopian setting, multiple NPCs that you may rely on as long-term party members, voice acting, cosplay, and a nice healthy mix of combat. This game is a custom creation of the gamemaster set within the distant future Los Angeles that they created for the Blade Runner TTRPG. As with all games run by The Jester’s Toybox, a session survey will accompany each game session to highlight what the players liked, disliked, and would love to see in games to come in order to ensure on-going satisfaction and all around fun!

How will character creation work
Character creation will be within an fillable PDF provided and the gamemaster will send a link to the game materials in order to create your character(s). Characters will be created pre-game and have a written background also required before the game session to be provided to the gamemaster. This way your character and their backstory is folded into the overall larger arc of the campaign.
