Enter a strange, decaying America with The Electric State RPG Core Rulebook. This tabletop roleplaying game is based on the art book The Electric State by acclaimed visual artist and author Simon Stålenhag.

First, the game follows a group of travellers heading out on a journey through an alternate 1997. Also, the world is filled with the remnants of a collapsed tech-driven society, discarded battle drones and haunting roadside landscapes.

More about The Electric State roleplaying game

Based on Simon Stålenhag’s art book

The game adapts the mood, imagery and strange Americana of Simon Stålenhag’s The Electric State. Also, it gives players a way to explore that setting through their own characters and journeys.

Powered by the Year Zero Engine

The rules use Free League’s Year Zero Engine. Therefore, the game will feel familiar to players who know other Free League RPGs, while still focusing on the specific tone of The Electric State.

A road trip through a world in decline

The game is about the journey rather than simply reaching a destination. Meanwhile, players face secrets, moral questions and the emotional cost of travelling through a broken world.
