A road trip on the verge of reality in visual artist and author Simon Stålenhag's vision of an apocalyptic alternate 1990s

The Electric State Roleplaying Game is a tabletop RPG based on the art book The Electric State by acclaimed visual artist and author Simon Stilenhag soon to be adapted into a major motion picture by the Russo brothers (Avengers: Endgame), starring Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger
Things) and Chris Pratt (Guardians of the Galaxy).

The Electric State RPG, featuring art by Simon Stilenhag originally made for the art book project but never published before, is written by Nils Hintze (Zales From the Loop RPG) in collaboration with the Free League core team and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.

Following the discovery of neuronics in the late 1960s, technology diverged from our own world. It is now the year 1997 and the world is on the verge of
apocalypse.

The USA, ravaged by a second Civil War, has split into new federations. In
Pacifica, formerly California, the everpresent Sentre corporation pushes
the neuronic technology to the population via cheap headsets. If life was
somehow almost normal before it isn’t anymore.

Sentre’s Mode 6 upgrade of its nationwide system was the start of the
fall. Civilization crumbles as something strange spreads through the neuronic net. People fail to turn up for the jobs, basic services cease to function and the government is rapidly losing control. ‘The Electric State is coming.
