    I imagine a log of that game would be one of the most depressing things ever conceieved.

    -Brutus, make your roll to barter with the merchant for fresh corn for your store.

    -I got a 13, plus five for my mercentile bonus

    -Okay, that means you get a new deal for your grain. Looks like you're going to get almost double the profit from this year's harvest.

    -Great, I return home to my wife Julia, pat her swollen belly and tell little Julis about my day. Oh, bugger, I'm up next, We'll finish this part of the campaign off tommorow, ok?

    -Sure thing.

    That was the final entry.

    Most likely they would have roleplayed as the Ancient Greeks with the wars between the Athenians and the Spartans or some other setting like as the Persians and such.

    No, no, no, no, no. The Romans would have Slavepunk. They didn't believe in technology besides for weapons and armor, because slaves worked fine for all uses. Hell, even slaves had slaves.

    Player Oracles sit back on their dais and mentally influence the actions of their army of slaves, using oracular vision to know which slaves to assign which tasks and/or scrambling the visions of opposing POs. Essentially, oracular vision = ability to mentally interface with computers, the world = cyberspace, gods = strong AI and slaves = processor time or programs. Oracular vision allows them to know how a waveform will collapse, and thus aids advanced quantum computer encryption breaking.

    >>2020280
    Okay, I lack much experience of creating items/classes/rules for anything non-d20, and slavepunk looks to turn out more like ArtIfice than a regular game, unless we turn slaves into an unseen element and have the real-life slaves performing work that changes how the Oracles perceive the world, making them more like conventional class abilities.

    In which case, let me reread some of Shadowrun, meditate on and digest Neuromancer, that sorta thing.

    Also, things the oracles "see" or create... Futuristic stuff to the ancient roman/greek cultures (We can mix them, it's a *punk setting and thus butchers its historical setting. Hell, we can throw some Sumerian and Egyptian stuff in there!)

    Will report back after I've thought a bit.

    The key to looking at it is that slaves aren't as much items as assets. Differing features between characters can be your field of expertise in messing with minds...like, for instance, slavemasters who can incite riots vs. ones who can increase production.

    Basically, consider this set of comparisons:
