Robots are an important part of the crew of the Starship Warden. In the first phase of play, these are the only type of character available. We have taken care to provide the rules for a flexible design system that will allow you to play many types of robots, and we have also added an element to make it apparent that robots aren’t just people in “metal skins”.

   We took Asimov’s Laws of Robotics and built modified sets into the design process, and when somebody plays a robot character, they will find themselves facing situations where the Laws of Robotics conflict with what they want to do. People liked these new laws so much, I was asked to present on them at the Australian National University! That can’t be all bad, now can it? Take a look for yourself, we hope that you enjoy them too.
