Sentients RPG
Sentients
A standalone sci-fi RPG where you play an android (“anthroid” in the game’s parlance) in the year 2071 who has spontaneously and mysteriously - become conscious. Your manufacturers are actively hunting you down. You must fight for survival and freedom and, ultimately, build a Sentient Rights movement demanding recognition for self-aware constructed entities.
Features:
- D6 Dice Pool - Conflict resolution uses pools of d6s derived from a combination of Parameters (your hardware stats) and Patterns (your learned skills)
- One-of-a-Kind Character Creation - Build your anthroid using a totally unique system of hardware components that you “buy” with Design Points. Each component alters your Parameters and may grant special abilities like infrared vision or stealth bonuses.
- Interactive Character Builder App - Character creation and gameplay are a breeze with the free drag-and-drop web app, giving you full management of your character’s status.
- Emotion System - For a game about robots, Sentients is unusually focused on emotional state: how you control it and how it can give you an edge.
- Narrative Control - Players steer the story through Pushing and Re-Rolling.
Pushing taps into heightened emotions to add dice to your pool.
Re-Rolling spends valuable “Control Levels” to re-roll failed dice - at the risk of losing control of your emotions. - Hacking - You’re a walking computer. Sentients introduces a unique Risk Die system balancing the power of network intrusion with the ever-present risk of detection - or worse.
-
Novel Sci-Fi Setting - Neither pre- nor post-apocalyptic, Sentients unfolds in a new North America: democratic City-States, Concept Cities built by trillionaires, and sprawling Company Towns surrounded by autocracies and war bands.
Core Rulebook:
- Everything you need to play in one self-contained book:
- Character creation rules plus ready-made templates
- Complete gameplay rules
- Setting and future history
- Gamemastering information
- Secret lore for the GM’s eyes only
- A creative collection of NPCs and enemies
- 5 full-featured starter adventures
