Sounds perfect.

>>5055459

I hadn't thought about 9, but it could work pretty well. Size 1, high HumanCom, with some variant of Plastic Casing to act as that burlap sack-type skin they have.

By the way, the game can be freely downloaded from the link in the OP.

I'd post it here, but I know everyone is paranoid about viruses.

:5

Cool game.

Well, I'll be on suptg for the next five hours or so, if anyone has any questions about the game.

I'm interested to see what people who aren't my playtesters think of it. Otherwise, I'll stop bumping my thread.

Ok, how would I make a Persocom using these rules?

>>5057003
I'm playing a game right now, and I don't know anything about anime, but I have wikipedia. Lemme see what I can come up with.

OK, wiki is fairly unhelpful, but i'm about done.

OK, I had to guess on some of this stuff, so if anything is horribly off-base, I'm sorry.

Anime is... not my strong suit.

>>5055372
Awesome. Just downloaded it. I'm gonna try playing later.
Pic semi-related.

>>5057775
Maybe you are feeling bad for this robot. It's because you are crazy. It has no feelings! And anyway, the new one is much better.

>>5057803
No. It's just a pic I saved because I liked it. Maybe I have some deep mental issues that I see sadness in this robot due to some feeling of being shunned, but it's really kind of irrelivent at this point.

>>5057815
And I would like to add, I found your VGCats reference very humorous.

>>5057775
Oh god, why?
;_;

>>5057803
I don't care! It appears sad, and my brain forces me to anthropomorphize it!

For some reason, I'm unable to use the link to this game. I was, however, able to download Artifice, which looks like an awesome setting and not-quite-enough rules.

>>5057757
>Vagina Reset

I shouldn't have laughed.

There's only one persocom in the setting with that feature (and no one but the writers know why she has it). It isn't standard.

A persocom is really just a personal computer with a humanoid shape, that uses a voice interface for everything (but can be plugged in to standard IO devices). They're made anywhere from miniature (palmtop) up to life-size. I suppose the kind someone would want to play would be life-sized, but I haven't read your system.

>>5057872
Ambulatory life size robots who take voice commands?

>I'm unable to use the link to this game
Try this. If it doesn't work, let me know.
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zzjuyzzyj1z

>There's only one persocom in the setting with that feature
Oh, whoops. Well, it's only a 5-point defect.

>>5057775
Ha ha ha, when the robots have to repair themselves, whose going to survive, the easy access bolts? or sleek round mound

>>5057909
Yes, anthroPCs are persocoms. The terms are even cognates.

Clamp did it two years before Jeph Jacques, though.

I'm glad people are interested. It took me about two weeks to develop this game.

If this thread is around in 8 hours, I can answer any other questions that come up.

bump

This sounds pretty great. What about the setting though?
I mean, what kind of things will the players be doing?

glad to see more sci fi settings

dling now but i dont think ill get to see much of it. is there a lot of space for personalization? could a character have a offensive set up, like a copbot or a dogbot?

Neat ruleset, but a bit more background and some possible settings/challenges would be nice.

What would these robots be doing? What sort of story lines do you foresee?

Maybe the remnants of mankind are stuck underground in Bunkers to avoid nuclear fallout, and the PCs have to stop misprogrammed Robots from opening the Bunkers so they can serve humans (and in the process poison them all)

Maybe the leftover robots have managed to evolve appropriately to create a semi-functioning community, but the sudden awakening of a facility of military robots occurs, forcing them to defend their new found homes.

The rules seem firm enough, but it needs some meat on the bones.

>>5057757

Pretty good, except nix the Vagina Reset. Only Chi has that feature (and only in the anime). That was just her creator being a bitch. A standard persocom is a combination PC, Personal Organizer, companion and sex toy with artificial intelligence.

>>5060191
From what I saw there was a reasonable amount of personalisation. I have to admit if I played it I'd want to play a huge, dumb, bulky physical-labour bot. The sort of thing you see in movies carrying around and loading and unloading shit so the lazy humans don't have to.

fuck yeah

>>5058018
I'm pretty sure that if Chii took at look at Pintsize's porn collection, she'd want to bleach her hard drive.

>>5060222
I want to know if they're just androids that look like people, or are they proper synthetic flesh and all that?

>>5060229
>Pintsize
For a second, I thought you meant Sumomo.

The thought of Sumomo with a harddrive full of nothing but porn...somehow strangely erotic.

>>5060227
Star topia? And here I thought I was the only one who remembered that.

>>5060227

>>5060230
No, they're entirely electronic and artificial androids, as far as I know. They just have realistically modelled/feeling exteriors.

>>5060238
It's sitting on my shelf right now. Salt-hogs up in this bitch!

>>5060211

As this game is obviously based on the short story "Who Can Replace a Man" by Brian Aldiss we can use that story for ideas. In the story, mankind died out from a nutrient deficiency which I find interesting.

What I can foresee is at least one city has a mainframe computer with advanced AI that has declared itself leader and set out to recruit as many robots as possible. Robots that accept are allowed to join, robots that refuse are disassembled and their parts used to service the workers already there.

>>5060260
What is this the ultimate goal of this central Ai?

Out of curiosity, is it possible to play a Tachikoma, or are they just too big and too powerful?

Why helo thar.

>>5060260

Oh, and this mainframe also forcibly disassembles any robots it thinks "no longer serve a purpose." Especially andriod/persocom robots designed for human interaction.

>>5060263

To build a functioning robot society.

>Reality Comprehension
>Use this attribute to calculate the trajectory of an object, or understand why something is on fire. Your dice pool to fire a projectile is RealityCom + Reflexes.
lol, I wanna play a robot on fire, with everyone else panicking, but I don't realise why.

>>5060286
thats hilarious. with a defect in the nuclear battery and easily replaced plastic casing you can literally burst on fire at will.

its really missing a bit on the setting. you could also have status for most animals and defects that forces to interact w the remainings of civilization, like to care for pets or to worry with thiefes/trespasser on a certain place.

it would be cool to have military grade bots even if as enemies, and also status for things that could damage them like radiation fallout (cuts communications in small doses, causes circuitry failure in large) acid damage (sewer cleaner bots malfunctioning et all) and the likes of mutated life.

rust ants a la rust monster would be a plague, termites even if not for metal/plastic can be a trouble for outdoor strolling, dogs that attack things that move would be cool too.

is it only me or was it missing airborne types? seaborn too?

you could have status for the bigger tools too. if they are ment to strive they could build tools to fit their single limb to serve themselves, like a cleaning bot that now digs for ore (and uses its vacuuming compartiment to hurl cargo), or a petbot that uses a weapon manufactured for him to strike.

a medibot could work as a plot device. i think of them like bards, talkin of the days of old, trying to figure out why humanity is gone.

Here's a car-building robot/close combat bruiser I made.

Thoughts?

This is bloody brilliant!

>>5060373
Forgot about extra point of Strength from Size. Whoops.

This game has real potential. When and where will you be play testing it?

>>5060373
how many points is that?

i re-read it and didnt saw anything about target point or similar. would X points means a household bot, while X points could mean a public service bot, made to last and work like hell w no failures?

>>5060461
oh i found it, its 100 points. it doesnt deal with character development too, it could be a nice sidequest to find a bot that can design a improvement/repair a defect and then finding the bot that can peform the upgrade.

OP here. Good points all around.

>What about the setting though?
I figured that other Programmers could come up with their own backgrounds. My intent was purely to create a ruleset for small robot workers.

>is it possible to play a Tachikoma
I'd say that a Tachikoma approaches size 6 or 7, but a creative Programmer could probably find a workaround (either increasing the volume of robot's Size rating, or simply expanding the allowed Size.) Truthfully, thought, I made this game for smal service robots, where a size-5 model would be big enough to possibly intimidate a human.

>>5060373
That is an awesome assemblybot (other than its missing Size/Str bonus).

>>5060512
>character development
I was kicking around a few ideas. One of them was that a robot could gain more points in the course of play and translate these to in-game findings and upgrades. So a Size-1 robot could eventually find a Size-5 chassis that it could hermit-crab its way into (if it saved up the ridonkulous amount of points needed to change over all its Chassis attributes).

And now I go to watch Public Enemies.

Here's my attempt to make a Persocom-type android.

Its a good Future to be a robot ^__^

>>5061344

sure is.

>>5060247

And interiors. ;)

Interesting concept OP, but it seems there's a lot of things missing.

Have you considered using a wounds/critical damage system like Dark Heresy? The robot is divided into several sections; the locomotion, manipulator, sensor, and chassis sections (Basically legs/arms/head/body)? Each part having it's own durability and/or damage soak potential before it starts taking critical damage.

Or how about making a distinction between standard manipulator arms and fine manipulators? Break down cameras into different categories such as telescopic and/or microscopic, thermal vision, being able to see outside the visible light spectrum, etc.

Basically what I'm trying to get at is the system needs more depth and complexity for it to really be something.

>>5061607

All good ideas. This is really an Alpha test anyway. I'm sure the OP will take all these ideas into consideration.

>>5060247
There is the question of how lifelike you need to make something for people to accept it--as well as how unlifelike you need to make it. (Wasn't there a series about this recently--EVE?) But considering that we're talking about Japan, a country where there are people working on artificial "human skin" solely to make more convincing dutch wives, I find it pretty likely that the majority of human-seeming companion-bots would also have soft outer flesh, even if very few would be functional for sex (since it's just easier to market something when it's not an adult toy).

>>5062110

>even if very few would be functional for sex (since it's just easier to market something when it's not an adult toy).

I can see it now. In the future, sexbots cause a moral panic and an unlikely alliance of feminists and evangelicals calling for the banning of fembots.

"A better wife, to replace your wife."

"A damn patriarchs trying to replace us!"

"These relations are unholy! God created man and woman to be equals. How can a man and a machine be equals when the man not only owns his partner, but sh... I mean it is programmed to be totally subservient to him!"

>>5062110
im convinced most of the intelligent bots will be made at the image of animals, even to keep them with low int to prevent "skynets".

but then again, goddammit japan, that is creepy.

>>5061607
weariness dmg would also be interesting to consider. it could work like fatigue where you could manually clean your self or find a "oil potion" to eliminate it.

>>5062313
Because christianity doesn't teach that a wife should be subservient to her husband, amirite?

"Intelligence" Doesn't really fit with the hardware-themed names of the Chasis and Crux. CPU, perhaps? Or even jus Computer, to keep it simple.

>>5062649
If names were to be changed like that, I reckon "Crux" should become "Motors"

Public Enemies was great (but I'm biased, since they shot part of it a block from my house).

>>5061607
Good ideas, but I hate complex systems. I made this with the idea of a streamlined game, where any details could be determined by the Programmer or player. The concept of thermals, etc. is pretty enticing, however.

>>5061985
Fantastic! The only problems I see are that it's 24 points over the limit, and the internal compartment can only be Size 4 or smaller. Easy enough to bump a few stats down.

>>5062649
'CPU' and 'Computer' are both nice and descriptive.

>>5064992
thermal damage 'cause the ozone layer got worn out could add a new complexity to it. it doesnt need to be complicated, chassi type + size would determine usual thermal resistance. a new penalty for those resistant solar bot to factor in!

weariness due to physical stress could be toughter, but the power system already has a nice overdrive mode, its not too far from it.

This game has inspired me to start designing and stating some robots.

This will keep me amused for ages!

I am not vary familiar with this system.

Is one point poor, two mediocre, three good and so on?

Shitty artsyuy philosophical fuck game.

Just play D&D like normal people.

>>5065099
>Is one point poor, two mediocre, three good and so on?
Pretty much- every attribute point gives you another d10 to roll during checks (every die that rolls 8 or higher is usually a success).

>>5065104
You have bested me with your succinct wit.

>>5065062
Hooray! Please post them here (though I don't know how much longer this thread will be around- it's approaching the 20-hour mark).

>>5055372
The ultimate bosses would be actual warbots, higher end sexbots (lol intel) and or high end workstations

>>5065143
Oh, I am still working on the first one now.

If this thread starts dieing, just start a new one and link this to it.

>though I don't know how much longer this thread will be around- it's approaching the 20-hour mark

wut? I've never heard of a time limit on threads.

>>5065035
Interesting idea. Breakdown due to solar radiation is a cool concept, but I guess I assumed that any robots that had survived this long would be OK going outside. Still, it would add a neat level of danger to a setting, if going out in daylight hours would cause your casing to break down.

Robots with plastic casing would really get the rusty end of the rebar.

>>5065167
Oh yeah, there's a time limit. If this thread manages to keep from sliding off the bottom of Page 10 long enough, a red 'Marked for Deletion: Old' tag will appear at the head of it.

Generally, it's about a day, though I've seen some threads survive for almost a week.

It's simple. It's free. It's 22 pages and I can print it out myself without spending a load on ink.

Thank you, OP.

>>5065176
theres also a problem, nowadays batteries usually die out with 5 years of use. nuclear reactors need to be maintained every 20 years or so.

this reminds me of mars probe. little bastard lasted more that 1 moth of the expected, running on battery power and solar recharger.

>>5065209
No problem, anon. Making games is what I love.

Just for you, here's a printer-friendly version with no background images:

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zqoywjz23y4

Here's my initial sketch of the thing.

I think 1.2m is way to big, so I will put it down to about 60-80 centimeters long.

It is/was a riot control robot, capable of burning skin and blinding eyes with it's weak laser and causing skin and mucous membrane irritation and muscle spasms with a chem sprayer.

It has a loudspeaker originally used for communicating the demands of riot police to unruly mobs and rioters.

It is a flyer, but I will limit it's max height and give it downsides to balance it.

I am not sure what I will do with it's personality.
Maybe something like a Tachikoma, too curious for it's role.
Maybe something of a robotic Osaka!

Oh this is delightful, thanks a ton.
Can't wait to give this a shot

>>5065256
Some service bots could be built to replace batteries and service power cells and such.
Sort of like the clerics of most fantasy RPGs.

Ya know, I can kinda envision the little guys worshiping mannequins, or thinking that mannequins are real humans.
lulz could ensue

Seems like there are a few of us wanting to see a more detailed setting in place. How about anyone interested posts possible settings in this thread, and if we like it we'll run with it and develop it further. Maybe the Anon (or the NameNon as the case may be) may like one or two and put them in version two of the rules.

>>5065320
Very nice idea. I had wanted to stay away from flying robots, but you gave me an idea:

Flight Ceiling
Cost: 12/rating
The robot is capable of propelling itself in the air. Every point of Flight Ceiling rating allows a one-meter flight ceiling. Robots with Flight Ceiling rating 5 or higher gain a +1 to their Mobility Rating.

>>5065371
Not a bad idea, but perhaps the imminent decay of a companion's battery would make for a good quest to the fabled 'RoboCo', a paradise where thousands of brand-new parts lie waiting for use.

>>5065483
I d'awwwwed.

>>5065537
I'm down with it.

so

I can play as Vectorman

sweeeet

>>5065593
Ah, good idea, I was thinking of something like that.
The robot has a max altitude programmed into it, if it passes it, it's engines and control programs will act up, forcing it to lower.

>>5065699
>The robot has a max altitude programmed into it, if it passes it, it's engines and control programs will act up, forcing it to lower.

I was thinking more along the lines of 'its engines simply can't raise it any higher'.

And 12 points per rating might seem really expensive, but I want to keep flight out reach (:P) for most robots.

Thanks a lot to everyone that's contributed!

>>5065747
I really like the idea behind this game. Any chance we'll see a Beta version soon?

>>5065747
That certainly is better.

This is amazing

>Any chance we'll see a Beta version soon?

Well... I'm still pretty set against adding any more complexity to the rules, so any changes would probably be in the form of additional features and defects (so please, anyone that has any ideas, kick them up and I'll have a look).

Aside from an advancement system, I don't want to mess with what I've made (self-important as that sounds). See >>5060512 and >>5061284

As my friends on the internet know, I'm a big fan of keeping things simple.

I kind of want to test this out with my gaming group. This seems pretty cool.

So, Attending Swarm- how do the drone's Defects work? I can make them fragile and disposable and gain 20 extra points for the drone's stats and features?

Is there a cap for Attending Swarm? Because it'd be kind of fun to play as 14 identical robots.

>>5066031
Good point. I had meant to indicate that the points from defects couldn't be spent on boosting Intelligence or Chassis (making the drones inherently dumber and weaker than the parent robot), but somewhere along the line it got dropped. A rewriting of the passage is clearly in order.

A drone gets 3 points of features for free, and up to 20 points of additional features if the same value of defects are taken.

Perhaps the cap on the number of drones should be the parent robot's MechaniCon rating +3...

>>5065916
Please let us know how it turns out!

>>5066143
actualy the idea is good. think of a drone type that was made to scout for the security system. he could have a central dock but that dock doesnt really need to serve a human, so it could look just like any other drone but with a stackable dock for all of the drones. one of those guarding a shopping mall would be cool.

i am now thinking of a farm bot type that would run on solar power, able to do repair and with drones suited for various kinds of hand work.

brb, stating. in a freakin notepad.

in the few hours i have sent the pdf to people, 5 want to start playing... writing up a robotopia as we speak...

where can i volunteer to add ideas and fluff?

>>5066281

Ok, I so want to play a Persocom with a bunch of non-humanoid robot companions now.

>>5066522
Well like it said in the book, it was designed around smaller service robots (probably to avoid generic giant robot mecha crap). But I'm sure someone could write like a "Defense Corp" expansion that focuses on the more security oriented robots.

RRrrrhr?

i propose the following, for i am full of both coffee and epic robot opera themes:

1. humanity is like a robot religion - they are the Creators, and it is from their efforts that the robots exist... as they have vanished from the world, the Creators have been filed away into legend, godlike beings that once walked among their creations, but only their work remains intact...

2. there are two kinds of robots - drones and sentients... the sentient class was in its infant stages when the decline of humanity started, and has had to develop on its own... drones are utilitarian and their designs are standard - mainly routine workers and heavy machinery... sentients are self-aware, will instinctively protect themselves, and can adapt themselves to their environments - these are the players... all sentients know there once were Creators, and they have all vanished from the world...

3. robots generally work together for the good of the whole... the sentients, however, disagree on what the good of society actually is... The Foundry (your typical authoritarian regime) believes in rebuilding the world in a robotic image... The Source (your typical religious fanatics) believe the Creators still exist and will return one day to reclaim their world from their creations... The Variants (your typical neutral party) are the adventurers, treasure-hunters, explorers, inventors and otherwise player-friendly occupations for a self-aware construct...

>>5066602
with 20 defect points in the drone you can do quite a lot. that totals to 23 if i got it right, you can get a drill and 1 armor or handle around w arc wielders for cheap, or a cheap fire support with lasers and minor mobility with 6 points a pop. add ease to find spare parts and you have a huge military grade bot for crowd control.

MUST. RESIST. STATING.

>>5066522
Erhm... the problem with larger robots is that the Size cost soon becomes extremely expensive. The point cost adds the next rating to the previous rating's cost, so Size 6 would cost 21 points, Size 7 would cost 28, Size 8 would cost 36, etc. This would mean increasing the total starting points to such a degree that all game balance would be lost. People that wanted giant robuts would probably be better off with something like Mutants and Masterminds.

>>5066552
Gaaahhhh! You've just made me realize that Attendant Swarm is also missing the drone's Crux points, which should probably be paid for out of points gained back from defects.

>>5066644
They aren't bad ideas, but what I think is good about this system is that it provides a good basis for those type of homegrown campaigns. It allows for a more personal game. Metaplot can be nice but as was such with oWoD it can really crowd things up.

Part of the appeal to me for this game is that there is so much unknown--the world is that much more vast and full of wonder and can be tailored to whatever type of campaign the group wants.

It's just my opinion, but sometimes you get more out of something when you leave certain things out and leave it in the players' hands.

I was trying to envision the world and I started thinking about 3d printers. You probably want to keep them out of the reach of PCs so I didn't try to stat them. This is still near future so they are not perfect like replicators but they could take plastic trash and turn it into spare parts for plastic robots. I was thinking there might be a house in a remote area at the edge of the city that survived the crash. With a working 3d printer the computer that runs the house could set up it's own little kingdom. In exchange for fealty the robots would get power from the house and spare parts/repairs/upgrades. The house computer would be a little crazy of course. It insists on keeping the house clean and in perfect working order for when "the Master returns." Vegetables are grown in the garden and animals raised so that the humans will have food when they get back. It would be a very creepy place.

A Persocom that was life-like enough might even make the house computer think it was a person.

>>5066674

lol thats why i said it was epic robot opera... ive been in that kind of mood all day for some reason... merely stepping stones for /tg/ to work with... though it does explain why these robots would be adventuring in the first place...

also, now that i give it more thought, religious nuts would love this game... imagine a world based solely on "intelligent design"

Keep in mind that the range on a cutting laser is 10cm per Size rating of the robot, so a Size-5 robot's laser has a maximum reach of 50 cm, or 19.7 inches, before it's too weak to do any damage.

Also, it's clear that the Attendant Swarm feature needs a massive overhaul. I just liked the idea of a bunch of tiny bots following a parent unit around.

YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS TO COMPLY

>>5066742

I had completely forgotten how many times ED209 shot that guy....

Security 101

1. any generic security robot would be designed with surveillance and communication as top priority... things like multiple optic inputs, passive motion sensors, 3d mapping, and multi-band transceivers... the most common type, autonomous, and able to "call for backup" in an emergency...

2. any security robot designed for protection against humans would be non-lethal... electric discharge, tear gas/mace, and rubber projectiles would be the most common... banks, corporate buildings, and government offices would have these...

3. security robots with lethal capabilities would have to be larger than simple drones (like a medium to large dog), with reinforced frames and plating... they could easily be rigged with anything considered deadly to organic life, like firearms, flamethrowers, and dangerous chemicals... these would be military-grade or "crazy rich guy" in availability...

>>5066691

i smell a pre-made adventure in the works lol

>>5066672
better like that. if we can spend points to improve the swarm its gonna be OP really quick. cant you do some sort of base build for all drones, like they have X points and cant take defects? i was thinkin that most drones will peform menial tasks and would be easily replaceable so they would always have common design, so most disvantages like safety switch and slow charger would reallly put a dent on the spam of drones.

also i just noticed theres missing wheel motion. i was trying to make a cop like bot that would spam drones but the speed would always be lower that a human running...

now tempted to make a maid drone. should i post the copbot?

i think you should make size differences to speed too...

I guess I was imagining a world where humans didn't give their robots weapons of war or any real jurisdiction over them when they were still around.

Really, they should be closer to Roombas than ED-209.

>>5066890
I like your ideas about drones.

From the manual:
>Most robots must devote at least one hour to recharging during each charging cycle. A robot that fails to completely recharge loses 1 point from all Intelligence and Chassis attributes per hour.

Does a "charging cycle" end when you fail one of the daily Power checks? You should probably say that, if so.

One more question. Is the game intended to be played with d10s labeled 0-9 or 1-10?

>>5066977
Also, keep in mind that all the attributes have to be at least 1.

>>5062313
Obviously sexbots would be made for both genders. A male one would actually be a little bit easier to create. And there would very likely be a social stigma in having a sexbot anyway.

Attending Swarm:
>These drones have 6 points of Intelligence ratings, 8 points of Chassis ratings, and 3 points for extra features
How many points do they have for Crux?

>>5067026
ah, that will make drones pricey nonetheless. methinks you should also make a skillcheck to defending, so a drone may also serve as a shield.

considering a repair drone, a standard build could work well w about 15~25 points and a few disvantages, like unable to have any attribute above 2~3, size always 1 and the set disvantages/advantage. maybe you could even work out a drone package and make the players take it in order to work for the government machine that still tries to maintain the city.

also, what skill check would be used for arc wield to repair? same to damage?

>>5067021
>If a 10 is rolled on any check, it is counted as a success, and rerolled. If another 10 is rolled, this continues until something else is rolled.
Dice are 1-10, with exploding 10s.

>Does a "charging cycle" end when you fail one of the daily Power checks?
Yes, but I guess it's not explicitly stated. Basically, every day you roll your Power dice, and if you don't have any that land on 8+, you need to recharge.

>>5067074
See my post here for my rambling nonsense about Attendant Swarm: >>5066672

>>5067074
none has he forgot to place it. for now add disvantage and pay w it.

>>5067106
Your MechaniCon rating + Dexterity rating is also your dice pool to repair yourself or other robots. The TN is 11, minus the damaged robot’s Durability Threshold rating (minimum TN of 2). Each success repairs one point of damage. A robot can only make one repair check on an individual.

This makes big bulky robots easier to repair than tiny plastic robots.

If it's exploding 10s, then this:
>If a 10 is rolled on any check, it is counted as a success, and rerolled.
...should probably say "and another one is rolled," not "and rerolled".

>>5067120
also, attend swarm is just the slave drone? if we would need to have the carry capacity separated it could make it expensivier.

the same to recharge them, isnt it? A.S. pratically requires you to babysit the drones

>>5066672
Huh, well, what if the PCs are going up against giant robuts?

>>5067143
so no delay? its like zombies w/o zombies. you need a lot od arc wielders in case someone fail the repair?

we give robots weapons today. there is already a tank that can drive and fight all by itself. then there are armed drones like the Predator 2 and a robot helicopter.

I know you left it vague on purpose and why but perhaps all the humans are dead because of a war? The war was fought with robots mostly so almost all of them are destroyed (and the ones that are left are crazy and well armed). The war escalated and finally either on purpose or accident a all human life was wiped out. A virus-like nanobot would do the trick. You (the house robot) power up one day and your human master is gone. You can't find him anywhere on the GPS or anything but there is an odd pool of sticky liquid in his bed. Have to make sure to clean that up before the master gets home.

me again. still pondering the setting. I was trying to decide which time I liked better: immediately following humans or after much time has passed. then I realized you could have both since robots are functionally immortal. I would run a prelude for the characters when humans were still around. Then bam, all humans dead. Start the game and adventure ect. After a while you could skip over some in-game time and play how the city has changed in 500 years. Stuff like how areas where the maintenance robots have broken down are reclaimed by nature so you could be driving down the street and then the city just stops and there is a forest there.

>>5067248
I guess I'm just against making warbots because it's contrary to my vision of the setting. The ones we have could have been decommissioned and scrapped once people stopped approving of them.

Again, this is just my view. Feel free to create rules and features for warbots for your own setting.

>>5067217
Yeah. In this case, a lot of drones with arc welders would be pretty handy.

I like it.

>>5067248

i like your style, sir... that's how humans think - if we can do it, a robot can do it faster, better, and let us go back to gorging ourselves without using energy...

I miss this game.

>>5067316
remember those mcguyver players.

i can arc wield someones joint. i can turn a common energy transformer/cell recharger in a emp bomb given energy and spare parts, maybe even in a taser. i can make a crossbow with laser weapons, only needing to find ammo. i can drill scraps and the likes to sharpen them and place in drilled traps. i can use acid and liquid containers to melt my enemy or make monomolecular blades. i can use a drone filled with GAS as a explod-o-drone.

i am not worried w battle, i can kill the enemy bare hand. i want to SURVIVE it.

so I don't know about you all, but I have a character concept.

Or possibly the BBEG responsible for humanity's extinction.

>>5067390
also i think you will need better rules on this try again thing.

a bot may face a wound it cannot heal, but a skilled bot should be able to heal anyone given time and spare parts.

so how would the swarm work if the robots dont come with standard wireless communication? they would have to be hard-wired to the robot, which would be an increase on the power drain to operate them...

maybe 5/rating for wireless transceiver?

>>5067248
There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;
And frogs in the pool singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white;
Robins will wear their feathery fire,
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.
Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree,
If mankind perished utterly;
And Spring herself when she woke at dawn
Would scarcely know that we were gone.

btw you have a craft skillcheck? i know it should be very difficult, involving at least a check to desing and another to execute...

>>5067395
so wheres glados? and her crazy sexier part?

and the friend computer?

>>5067323
Just to clarify, the TN to repair is 11, minus the damaged robot's maximum Damage Threshold. So the TN for the ant to repair itself is 9, but the TN to repair its parent robot is 3 (the farmbot is the parent robot, right?).

Also, I just realized that I missed a couple places where Damage Threshold is still called Durability Threshold (the old name, before I renamed it for clarity). Please assume that any text that says Durability Threshold is really Damage Threshold.

>>5067426
they literally talk to each other. least the disvantages where taken.

>>5067448
according to arc wield, each lvl eases the TN by 1. did i understood it wrong?

>>5067426
they could need to dock to receive orders. this could be a disvantage if you cant order it to run or do battle till its struck.

>>5067426
Good point. I was still puzzling over communication. I guess I can throw in "wireless transceiver" as part of the standard free package.

>>5067390
I completely agree. I'm not opposed to robots building their own weapons, only them coming pre-equipped with human-designed ones.

>btw you have a craft skillcheck?
Not at this time, but I guess it would just be a MechaniCon check, with the TN and number of successes determined by the Programmer in relation to what the player is trying to do.

Hydrogen Fuel Cell
Cost: 0

The robot is powered by a fuel cell. It takes hydrogen and combines it with oxygen (from the air). This creates electricity and water as a by product.

The robot has a Power rating which represents its endurance with a full tank of liquid hydrogen. The robot never needs to make a Power check. When it is out of fuel it simply stops. It also can not tax the fuel cell to increase attributes.

Refueling the hydrogen tank depends on setting. Fuel stations may be common or rare. There may be equipment on site to create more fuel or it may have to be trucked in from factories outside the city.

I notice that Perception and Sensor Strength are presently unrelated. Wouldn't it make sense to have the robots with more sensitive... sensors, be easier to blind with lasers and whatnot?

>>5067460

you're talking about the audio, correct? but then what's to stop another bot from sending a different message? im assuming commands are being chirped in binary, so what is to stop another bot from decoding the message and sending its own?

>according to arc wield, each lvl eases the TN by 1.
This is correct. The minimum TN is still 2. Sorry, it's getting late and my organic brain is starting to flutter.

>>5067420
Good point. Perhaps each successive repair check can be made with one less die? I guess I just think that it may come to the point where the bot is just welding solder onto solder and can't really help. Again, brain shutdown is beginning.

>>5067437
That's beautiful. I like Sara Teasdale, but I've never read that.

>>5067498

the transceiver could be a 5/rating feature, with the value equal to send/receive at 10m... each rating point after the first could be used to either boost the strength or the range of the signal by 10m... again, the same battery drain mechanics apply, but vital if the "team" has to split up...

>>5067526
Yeah, Sensor Strength definitely needs work.

>>5067535
Sounds like a good excuse for opposed DigiCon checks on the part of the parent robot and the interloper. Either that, or just fiat that every parent/drone communication is encrypted to prevent hiccups and alternate orders.

>every parent/drone communication is encrypted to prevent hiccups and alternate orders.

"He either said 'shiny duckbill rocket pie', or 'quick, press that button before it gets here.' I don't see any rocket pie around here, so..."

An old friend here. Its good to see such a great game coming out of /tg/, and even better to see it bearing some connection to an old game I really should put more work into, when I'm better. Engine Hearts looks like a fantastic piece of work, and I hope I get to see it sometime. Nice job dude.

>>5067535
>>5067583
Good idea. Normal communication via binary chirping is extremely short-range and subject to interlopers. The wireless transceiver is encrypted, and higher Wireless Transceiver ratings makes it less subject to spoofing. Maybe every point of WT rating subtracts one die from the interloper's DigiCon check to spoof a drone.

Also, I think I'm about done in for the night. This thread is being archived here, if anyone cares:

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/5055372/

>>5067754
Hey man. Everybody misses you something fierce.

Seeing you post here just made my day.

>>5067591
May I suggest, then, that the TN to blind a robot be Sensor Strength - Perception + some constant?

>>5067959
Not a bad plan.

Anyway, goodnight everyone. I'll see this thread on the archive (since I don't think it can take another night).

Here is a Video of little i/o when she was still in the prototype phase.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejROvUC-gWU

GPS Receiver
Cost: 1
Object is able to triangulate its position from satellite signals. Combined with the built in map of the city it will never get lost. Being inside a building or underground blocks the signal. This Feature is not available during the time period long after mankind as the satellites would have degraded.

Cell Phone
Cost: 5
The robot is equipped with a built-in cell phone. It may make or receive calls from other phones. If the phone account is out of minutes the robot may try to hack the network to make free phone calls with a DigiCon + MechaniCon check. It may also be possible to negotiate with the cell companys central computer. This Feature is not available during the time period long after mankind as the telecommunications grid would have degraded.

Bad Hard Drive
Gain: +10
Due to flawed hardware all Intelligence based checks are made with one less die than normal. The object can not have any Intelligence category ratings above 2.

Planned Obsolescence
Gain: variable
This object was designed to only last a short amount of time. The amount of points this Defect is worth depends on how much longer the object will last. If the object manages to fix the problem either by downloading to a new body or altering itself it must buy off the Defect with experience points or trade it for Defects of equal value.
Time Until Death Gain
Up to 1 month +15
Up to 6 months +10
Up to 1 year +5
More than 1 year is worth nothing.

Exposed Power Switch
Gain: +6
The object has a prominent off switch. In combat an enemy may make a Dexterity + Reflexes check with a TN of the objects Mobility + Reflexes. If successful the object is immediately deactivated until the power button is pressed again.

too tired to continue. idea for party:

female human model sexbot. wears red shoes. lost memory and wants to find its way home.
petbot. little dog model.
defective tutorbot. trying to find CPU upgrade.
lumberjack model bot. trying to find out what love means.
securitybot. is armed but afraid to use force. trying to find courage.
they are all off to the Seattle megacity to talk with one of the few surviving supercomputers (it belonged to Wizards)

>>5069171

I see what you did there.

>>5067591
that is incredibly easy considering most drones will have digicon 1. anything with digicon 2 can literally control them by screaming at random. i do agree that a digicon test may work as a ECM and prevent new orders to the drone.

to hijack drones, one should only be able to disable them, and only if at close contact.

>>5067535
the drone being half aware and filtering trash? it could work even if the owner is willing to send a drone to serve another bot.

OK, so, right now there's no combat. For this style of game you probably don't want very much combat, a simple system of opposed rolls would work fine, with the defeated robot simply being disabled. No need for hit points or what.

But it seems like this kind of game will have a lot of unusually complex environmental obstacles, like for example the huge stacks of trash that were piled up around everything at the beginning of WALL-E. You'll want some rules to determine what happens when your party of robots climbs stacks like that, and they start breaking loose...

Something like "combat-time" in other games would be good for this, to give the players sensible opportunities to move out of the way of stuff, or break it apart with their drills, and stuff.

>>5069956
there is combat but its crude. most of the combat is done either by bodyslamming or with tools (arc wield, laser cutter, drill, w/e you can hold) and you damage trheshold is literally your health.

>>5062313
>"These relations are unholy! God created man and woman to be equals. How can a man and a machine be equals when the man not only owns his partner, but sh... I mean it is programmed to be totally subservient to him!"

Oh man, those evangelicals are quick to change their speech. What happened to "Woman was created from man and should be subservient to her husband"?

As far as the human infrastructure is concerned, it might not be totally degraded. After all, key to the setting is that a lot of menial tasks are performed by robots. So the power grid is still up, because there's this small army of tiny TrukCo bots that drive about, dropping off their swarm of repair drones in damaged areas. They've even bridged giant gaps caused by the earthquake 100 years ago.

Intelligent trains still run the tracks, accompanied by a 'swarm' of powerloaders, which occasionally have to repair a stretch of track or clear away debris. There isn't as much cargo as there used to be, but because there are factories that are still getting raw materials from certain robot-run mines and the Recyclo-Domes, every other Monday a case of 15 assorted RepliPets gets unloaded at the warehouse in town, and is promptly placed by Forkbot772, and delivered to Toys-4-U the following Wednsday by the last TransPod operating in the city.

The Toys-4-U Forkbot is getting worried. The Stokkbugs have filled all the shelves with Replipets, including most of the Clothing Department (which has been steadily shrinking as the rot sets in).

Forkbot-T4U has even suggested 'damaging out' the older Merchandise, anything made before 00, perhaps. The Regi-Sirs wouldn't have it because Sales Have Been Down, but have replaced 99% of the signage with the special Discount signs. They even woke up The Office Mainframe, who consulted the Supply/Demand protocols in the T-4-U office. Since then the Stokkbuggs spend all their free time replacing pricetags with '100 for 1¢' stickers.

There's even a few packs of Display Model Replipets on the loose inside the store. Despite the readily available wattage from the store grid, they seem to prefer to hunt down the Stokkbuggs and drain THEIR power instead...

>>5070594

>>5069171
WE'RE OFF TO SEE THE WIZARDS! THE WONDERFUL WIZARDS OF THE COAST!

damn you

>>5070594
Holy crow, that's fantastic.

>>5069171
I smiled pretty broadly.

>>5070341
It's true, but like I said earlier, I want to avoid any need to consult charts or matrices once the game starts.

>>5070594

See, that there is like... three adventure hooks sitting around.

One Wednesday, the shipment never comes. Forkbot calls over the Regi-Sirs, and the Head Stokkbugg. They get Broombroom to open the Human Staff Area for the first time in years. Together, they awaken the Mainframe to communicate with The Office. The Office insists that everything is fine (mostly because the heuristics are so bad that it's in Damage Control Don't Make Anyone Panic mode), the problem must be with Transit. The store then selects a Stokkbug, the backup Forkbot (who has been on Standby for centuries and keeps asking questions the rest of them stopped asking over a hundred years ago), and one of the Regi-Sirs since they've got nothing better to do anyway. They're to find out why the Transpod never showed up.

The Regi-Sirs are now REALLY anxious about sales. They decide to start dropping certain protocols, and go into the mainframe themselves and activate the Googlefind. They manage to locate an operating Credicube, located at the top floor of the Glaxco-Hilton-Express-Staysuites. It could purchase the entire inventory... who to send to retrieve it?

Or, maybe they've decided that signs inside the store don't make sense. Time to venture outside and advertise to the giant masses of consumers who are probably shopping somewhere else. Right? I mean... they've gotta be somewhere. ..right?

And more. All to help the store's robots to fulfill their directives (move inventory, mostly).

I dig it. Thanks OP.

Just came across this.

EF DID YOU FINISH THE RUNE-MAGIC RPG YET

I want to have some service droids in my GURPS campaign. I'll convert some concepts from Engine Heart.

Here is a racial template for a service droid, net cost 0. It should probably adjust the basic attributes somehow, in order to match the specialized abilities of the 'bot, but that process would be different depending on what kind of bot you're playing. So this is just a generic servbot template.

Confused (CR: 12 (Quite Often).) [-10]
Digital Mind [5]
Doesn't Eat or Drink [10]
Doesn't Sleep [20]
Draining (Electricity) (Common, -5.) [-10]
Electrical [-20]
Injury Tolerance (No Blood) [5]
Injury Tolerance (Unliving) [20]
Low Empathy [-20]
Resistant (Immunity to Metabolic Hazards) [30]
Size -4 [0]
Unhealing (Total) [-30]
Wears out instead of aging [0]

Note that servbots have fatigue points, where normal GURPS Machine characters do not. That's because Engine Heart contains a mechanic much like Extra Effort in GURPS, so you should be able to use Extra Effort.


Humancom, Mechanicon, Realitycom and Digicon should probably be bash skills.

Humancom! - Archaeology, Anthropology, Body Language, Detect Lies, Gesture, Leadership, Linguistics, Physiology, Politics, Psychology, Sociology

Digicon! - Computer Hacking, Computer Operation, Computer Programming, Cryptography, Electronics Operation (Comm, Media, Sensors)

Mechanicon! - Electrician, Electronics Operation (Medical, Scientific, Security) Electronics Repair (Medical, Scientific, Security, Comm, Media, Sensors), Machinist

Realitycom! - Driving, Holdout, Naturalist, Observation, Search, Shadowing, Scrounging, Stealth, Survival, Tracking, Traps, Urban Survival


Many of the advantages from Engine Heart would make perfect sense in GURPS, but they'd require point adjustments. I'm a bit too lazy for that right now.

Bit late in the game to be commenting on this one, but yeah, going along with >>5062611, you really need to lrn2Christianity. Genesis pretty much states that women were created by men for the sole purpose of sex. Understandably, feminism tends to hold a rather strong grudge against said philosophy, though their goals for pornography and sexualized media are often the same (albeit for different reasons - feminism because the men behind the camera are evil, evangelism because the women in front of the camera are evil). They've been running their protests separately for decades; there's no reason to assume that the next advance in the sex industry is going to drive them any closer.
