Sentients RPG
In stock at the following stores: Games København, Games Aarhus
A board game about liberation, underground resistance, newfound emotions and what it means to be something other than human.
The year is 2071, and artificially intelligent androids are everywhere in society: they cook and clean, build and destroy; they do our dirty work and even fight on battlefields for us. But although they may look and act like humans, they are not sentient and can never become sentient. At least, that is what their manufacturers want you to believe.
You play a newly awakened Sentient, a self-aware constructed being fighting for survival and freedom in a world that does not even acknowledge your existence.
Game features
- D6 dice pool: Conflict resolution uses pools of d6s derived from a combination of Parameters, your hardware stats, and Patterns, your learned skills.
- Unique character creation: Character creation in Sentients uses an entirely unique system of hardware components that you "buy" with design points. Each component affects your Parameters and may offer special abilities, such as infrared vision or a bonus to stealth checks.
- Interactive character builder app: Character creation and play are made easy by the free interactive character builder web app, which gives you a drag-and-drop hardware component system and full management of your character's status.
- Emotion system: For a game about robots, Sentients is unusually focused on your character's emotional state, your ability to control that state, and its potentially useful effects.
- Narrative control: Sentients gives players two ways to control the game's story: Pushes and Rerolls. A Push uses the character's heightened emotions to add dice to your dice pool, and a Reroll spends valuable "control levels" that let you roll failed dice again, at the cost of potentially losing control of your emotions.
- Hacking: You are playing a walking computer, after all, so hacking is second nature to you. Sentients uses a unique "Risk Die" system that balances the power of network intrusion in a connected world against the ever-present risk of detection, or worse.
- Romantic sci-fi setting: Neither pre- nor post-apocalyptic, Sentients is set in a new North America that has seen the United States dissolve into a chain of democratic city-states surrounded by a sea of autocracies and warbands, but also concept cities built by billionaires and company towns built by enormous corporations.
