Sentients

So far I've onboarded 4 writers to write game scenarios and short fiction, and I already suspect it's the best decision I've made. There's only so much I can do myself, and having new and different eyes and brains adds so many more new and different ideas. The goal of Sentients is to publish a core rulebook next year, and I'm about 30 pages in to a target 100-page book. That's a lot of content that still needs to be written.

Furthermore, having experienced writers create scenarios makes playtesting much easier and more fun—I don't have to rely on just myself to create interesting situations to test rules out in.

Sentients: The Tabletop Role-Playing Game of Artificial Consciousness

It's the year 2071, and artificially-intelligent androids are ubiquitous in society: they cook and clean, construct and destruct; they do our dirty work, even fight on battlefields for us. But though they may look and act like humans, they're not conscious, and they can never become conscious—at least, that's what their manufacturers would have you believe.

You play a newly-awakened Sentient, a self-aware constructed entity, fighting for survival and freedom in a world that doesn’t even acknowledge your existence.

S E N T I E N T S is a tabletop roleplaying game of liberation, underground resistance, newfound emotion, and what it means to be something other than human.

Stuck at 53 signups right now, because I've only advertised on a few low-traffic reddit posts and on some personal mailing lists and discord servers. I need to find places to post about an in-development game and attract some more attention. So far though the response has been quite positive, people are clearly interested in the premise!
