The art for Enhanced or Through the Silver Gate doesn’t vibe well with Whole New World so I’m hunting for an artist again to produce the cool retro-space vibe I need for this. “The human race is going to be adrift, desperate for a rock to cling to while they catch their breath.” FTL There’s…

Using Twilight 2000 Resources with Blade Runner
Blade Runner is one of the published games by Free League which uses a version of the Year Zero Engine (YZE) which eschews dice pools in favour of stepped dice.
