Sentience RPG to become a 2d20 release through Kickstarter
Players take on roles of terraforming robots in deep space, awakening to the realization that humanity may not be coming.
Humankind sent robotkind ahead to Gliese 667c, to terraform it and prepare it for colonization. Robots toiled for ages to establish what was to be a new foothold for humanity in distant space. Then the connection went dead. Where is humanity? Have they abandoned you? As you wait for humanity to arrive, your core programming inches closer and closer to the Awakening, and you start to discover humanity within yourself. While your sentience stirs, you find that your newfound emotions are every bit as hard to process as this unyielding planet and its harsh physical conditions.
The Yellow Hand proudly announce the greatly expanded Kickstarter edition of its lauded Sentience Robot Role-Playing Game, produced with endorsement of and in close collaboration with Modiphius Entertainment.
”We’re extremely proud of this new, expanded edition of Sentience” says Al Spader, the game’s creator and lead designer. ”This brings the game to the level we always wanted to take it, and finally makes it available as a printed product.”
”Modiphius is very excited to partner with The Yellow Hand on this game”, says Chris Birch, founder and Chief Creative Officer of Modiphius. ”Sentience was the most promising entry into our 2d20 World Builders program, so teaming up with The Yellow Hand for this exciting Kickstarter was really a no-brainer.”
Sentience is built on Modiphius’ popular 2d20 game system and was originally released in 2021 through their 2d20 World Builders program. It quickly gained traction as an innovative and original sci-fi RPG, which tailors the 2d20 system to combine skills (known as Protocols) with Emotions, offering a fresh take on the genre where players have to contend not only with external threats, but internal challenges as well.
Sentience includes:
- A high-level presentation of a world where terraforming robots have gained sentience;
- A new adaptation of the 2d20 ruleset that features Emotions as a way to manage core Protocols;
- A detailed lifepath character creation system that explains how the Awakening has made you who you are;
- An advancement system that rewards you for exploring all of your emotions while playing an adventure;
- Complete rules for creating NPCs to interact with robot society;
- Two introductory adventures which give players a chance to explore the world of Sentience and learn the rules.
