The Electric State RPG Coming To Kickstarter On December 5
Tabletop RPG Based on the Art Book The Electric State by Acclaimed Visual Artist and Author Simon Stålenhag
Stockholm, Sweden (November 7, 2023) — Free League Publishing today revealed that The Electric State Roleplaying Game is coming to Kickstarter on December 5, 2023, at 3 PM CET / 9 AM EST. The pre-launch page is already open for sign-ups here.
The new tabletop RPG is based on the internationally acclaimed narrative art book The Electric State by artist and author Simon Stålenhag, 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 is written by Nils Hintze (Tales From the Loop RPG, The Walking Dead Universe RPG) in collaboration with Tomas Härenstam (Blade Runner RPG, Dragonbane, Forbidden Lands, ALIEN RPG, Twilight: 2000) and Mattias Johnsson Haake (Symbaroum), with graphic design and layout by Johan Nohr (MÖRK BORG), and published in partnership with Skybound Entertainment.
Using Free League’s award-winning Year Zero Engine, the game is 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.
Backers and retailers alike eager to enlist should visit the Kickstarter pre-launch page to sign up to know the moment the campaign goes live. All backers who pledge within the first 24 hours will receive a bonus item soon to be revealed.
Free League will share details of The Electric State Roleplaying Game Kickstarter via its social media accounts throughout the weeks leading up to launch. If successfully funded, all backers will get early access to the PDF versions months ahead of the official release.

About The Electric State Art Book
In late 1997, a runaway teenager and her yellow toy robot travel west through a strange USA, where the ruins of gigantic battle drones litter the countryside along with the discarded trash of a high-tech consumerist society in decline. As their car nears the edge of the continent, the world outside the window seems to unravel at an ever faster pace, as if somewhere beyond the horizon, the hollow core of civilization has finally caved in.
