Robots book on the Release List!

Finally!!

What sort of things should go in it?

Personally, I think the main thing is that you should be able to play artificial intelligences of all sorts - with a robotic chassis, or biological replicants, or infomorphs. Maybe give some examples of pre-made, 'off the shelf’ characters.

I think the Third imperium can also expand on how the law works regarding machine rights, and the societal concerns of their advancements.

What else?

Excellent!

Hopefully the design system will integrate with Vehicle Handbook and High Guard.

It doesn't replace but robot brains can be put in vehicles or ships.

But can a robot brain be put inside a PC...

Up to now my go to resources for robots are the GURPS Book, I forget its name, and T5 Synthetics chapter.

What will this book offer that those two don't? Is there a provisional contents overview?

 

[TrippyHippy]

I definitely thing that the typical, hardware based Robot chassis could be based on the same type of build options that we find in Vehicles and High Guard.

I do think there should also be other options for biotech, nanotech and disembodied infomorph (pure data) designs though.

Absolutely, agreed! Just looking forward to getting my feet wet with some classic droids :wink:

Robot brains can be put in vehicles or ships.

As seen in The Fall of Tinath, you can have robot brains in 'biological units' too. Does this book have a chapter for 'bioshells' and biomechanical options?

"still hoping to see a full-fledged "Against the Essaray!" campaign in the future..."
