About the adventure

“Another rain-soaked night in Los Angeles. A routine case, they said—missing person, corporate ties, nothing unusual. But now the leads don’t line up, the evidence talks back, and the faces in the file keep looking at me from the dark. Someone’s lying. Maybe everyone is.” THE DREAM IS ELECTRIC. THE SIN IS HUMAN. Los Angeles, 2037. The city hums under endless rain and the glow of neon gods. Humanity has built its own replacements—Replicants engineered for off-world labor, emotion, and obedience. But in the cracks of the city, some have slipped free, and now someone has to find them. You are a Blade Runner—part cop, part detective, part confessor—walking the thin line between justice and extinction. In Electric Dreams, your squad investigates a routine case that spirals into something far stranger: a web of lost memories, corporate secrets, and manufactured souls. Each clue draws you deeper into questions no badge can answer—what makes a person real, and what’s left when the line disappears? Truth is out there, buried beneath the rain, but every answer comes at a cost. This is a story of identity, empathy, and survival in a city that’s forgotten how to sleep. Whether you’re chasing Replicants or your own ghosts, every decision shapes the world around you—and what it means to be alive in it. ⚠️ Blade Runner: The Roleplaying Game is a cinematic investigation RPG from Free League Publishing, set in the official universe of the classic films. Players explore the moral and emotional fallout of artificial life through teamwork, evidence gathering, and hard choices. Each session unfolds like a neo-noir movie—full of atmosphere, mystery, and consequence. It uses a step-die mechanic—you roll from d6 to d12 based on your stats and skills, aiming for a 6 or higher to succeed. Push your roll for a second chance… at a cost. In Electric Dreams, your decisions define not only the case—but your humanity.

About me

Greetings and Salutations! Thank you for taking the time to view my profile. SOCIAL LINKS : https://bio.link/fatherj I am FatherJ from the Northeast United States. I really enjoy RPGs from Free League Publishing and the Year Zero Engine. I would love to run one of their games for you! Eastern Time Zone EST: UTC−05:00 standard [ EDT: UTC−04:00 daylight savings] I have been playing many different Table Top Role-Playing Games (TTRPGs) for 15 years, 13 years as GM. I have run hundreds of sessions in over a dozen different science fiction and fantasy RPG systems for an equally wide variety of people in person, at gaming clubs, at gaming stores and online. I have been running online games since 2023. I have 5 children and 4 cats. My day job is in the Information Technology field. My main goal is to have fun games where my players can feel comfortable and become invested in. Nothing makes me feel happier in RPGs than listening to my players enthusiastically recount the tales we have created together. My focus is to share my love for Free League games (Year Zero Engine) by providing people the opportunity to play these wonderful games online. Real life situations had caused a gap in my gaming, but I was inspired by running into Free League Publishing games to get back into TTRPGs two years ago. I have come to StartPlaying looking to run some serious and/or seriously fun sessions. I want to see what I can add to this community! My story telling style is light and flows easy. I do not let the mechanics detract from the experience, but use them to enhance the story you want to be told! I love GMing online. The amount of tools available to online play really enhance the game, in my opinion. I know Foundry VTT pretty well, and I would be more than happy to help teach new and seasoned players alike how good online play can be. Beginner and LGBT+ Friendly. I have taught new systems to new players. I enjoy the experience. We were all new players, or new to a system, at one time.
