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.
