What does it mean to be “sapient”? In a far off star system, the descendants of two starship crews scheme and fight a shadow war to determine if there’s hope for peaceful co-existence, or if the future will be one of violent human supremacy. Embroiled in this war are the sapient Apes, Octopuses, and Androids uplifted by humanity but kept in servitude and slavery. Should intelligence grant autonomy? Is freedom a basic right, or is it a privilege? Do you owe anything to those who made you intelligent? Sapience is a Scifi Tabletop RPG set in a far off cluster of space. Players can play as Humans, Androids, a mysterious goblin-like alien, or an uplifted intelligent Orangutan, Gorilla, or Octopus. The base theme of the game is exploration of privilege and discrimination, as humans do not treat the animals they have uplifted very well, and the setting features a cold war (essentially mirroring the US civil war) between the factions who treat the uplifts as animals and those who treat them as people. Or if these themes are too dark, then they can simply be ignored and the game can be enjoyed as a space opera with uplifted animals and androids!
