The Electric State Roleplaying Game

The Electric State Roleplaying Game is a tabletop RPG based on the art book The Electric State by acclaimed visual artist and author Simon Stålenhag.

The Electric State RPG, featuring art by Simon Stålenhag originally made for the art book project but never published before, is written by Nils Hintze (Tales From the Loop RPG) in collaboration with the Free League core team and based on Free League’s award-winning Year Zero Engine.

This is a game about a group of travelers heading out on a journey through a strange America in an alternate 1997. The ruins of gigantic battle drones litter the countryside, heaped together with the discarded trash of a high tech consumerist society in decline.

The game is not about the goal but the journey – what the characters experience and how it changes them. This is a game of exploration, but that which is explored is yourself and your friends, and what you are willing to do when the world collapses around you.
