Re: [RPG]: Exquisite Replicas, reviewed by San Dee Jota (2/3)

The background setting for the game is fleshed out and gives the GM more than enough to work with. It's only a few questions that are left unanswered. The big unanswered question is: Are the replicas of people innately evil or not? I didn't want to "officially" answer this questions for GMs as I think the unknowable is more frightening. Additionally, Exquisite Replicas is about the tough moral choices the player characters must make. To have the book definitively say the replicas are evil or not makes the moral decisions easier. If the players knew for certain that the replicas would one day perform some insidious function, it makes how they deal with them less of a grey area.

In my opinion, all other questions are minor and easily answered by each GM. What happens if the characters eat replicated food? Are replicas of people sterile? If they breed with a human, will there be offspring? What will the offspring be? Again, I could have provided an official answer, but decided not to.

Best,
Lee
