I don't, because it's my friend's paypal and his KS account. But I will later tonight.

Space minimod's already up bro, no speculation needed.

>anyways, speculation! leakages! About the space minimod! What do you guys think is in it?

I bet it has a new adventure where the player robots help restart a space program that's been languishing since the humans disappeared.

It also might have new outer-space based features like Vacuum Propulsion and Solar Sail, and a new defect called Spaceborne.

Industry Standard:

F:
Claw (grabs robots and doesn't let go)
Electromagnet (durrrrr)
Overclocked
[Reinforced appears as a feature in the advance copy but will not be in the official release because it's basically identical to the Workhorse feature from the main rulebook and was only included as an accident that didn't get caught]
Simple Assembly (easier to repair)
Smelter (already has icon)
Wind Turbine

D:
Partial Casing (increased damage when struck)
Response Lag (penalty to initiative)
Salvaged (harder to repair)
Weak Motor (decreased damage when striking other robots)
In Transit:

F:
Abrader (sandblaster, grinding wheel, etc)
Compactor (steamroller, etc)
Massive (high potential energy)
Rack (not that kind you perv)
Silent Mode (already has an icon)
Turbo (double-speed)

D:
Poor Acceleration (like it says on the tin)
Warranty Worry (cannot repair other robots)

>>24455661
>Overclocked (can make two interaction checks on its turn instead of 1; inflicts self-injury if it attempts the second interaction check)

Hey guys

Are you ready for the next stretch because it's dice.

>>24455997
Kekekeke

>>24455997
Actually, it's not even gonna be a stretch. More like an amendment.

>>24456389
We realised that if we order a billion dice, economy of scale actually makes it practical to throw in a few hundred dice with every order. We were initially worried about extra shipping costs, but then we realised that if we built a giant catapult and just flung them across the by the cartload in the direction of the orderee's address they'd probably get as many dice as they asked for. Maybe even more! And shared with their neighbours, too, which is a great way to get even more people to play the game with you!

When we have a symbol for each feature and defect, wouldn't it be useful if each player displayed his somehow. It would make getting to know your party easier and it would look great. Almost like a board game.

Could someone who knows the rules put together some character sheets for various famous robots?

Johnny-5, T1000, Wall-e, wall-a, eva, Cmdr Data, ect...
Ther might even be useful for GMs to use for encounters

>>24474963

As far as I know, any symbols from ISO 7001 should be free for general use (though they charge if you want the official vector art). You can even use the official search at https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#home to find iso symbols for damn near everything.

>>24478849

why would they be? They're based on ISO symbolism, such as the symbols for "fragile" or "keep away from water" or the USB symbol.

Perhaps they should be edged with beveled square/triangle/octagon borders? Just a thought. The whole shtick for the rules just strikes me as overly robo-dorable with just a touch of industrialism.

>>24479066

the atmosphere is supposed to be as neutral as possible because there are so many different ways to handle a world. Everything from Brave Little Toaster to Wall-E to something crazy dark like There Will Come Soft Rains. So robo-dorable isn't really supposed to be a thing, just lots of people in this thread having an attachment to the "cutebot" for no real reason. See >>24472671

I wouldn't want to do square/triangle/octagon borders on something unless you'd imagine it being an actual warning symbol, since that's generally what those mean.

Etched and then the grooves will be painted by the GameScience people. Or their machines. Either way, you won't have to do it yourself.

Can I play a hospicebot crematory unit?
It would have a charging bay.
And it can burn anything, not just people.

>>24495480
>>24495397
CaesarSalad already did it:

>Unit R35T trundled down the broken street, its thick treads helping to further crack and rend the decaying asphalt. Many charging cycles had passed since it was able to fulfill its primary purpose. There were simply no targets left. R35T and its brethren were nothing if not efficient, and even the tremendous workload of those first few months of the plague dwindled to little, then nothing.

>The thoroughfare was silent save for R35T's own functions. Optical sensors scanned for biological remains. Some units had taken to scooping up birds or rats or the occasional bloated feline corpse, flyblown in the sun and processing them in their furnaces. But R35T never lowered itself to such things. Though it had no vocabulary for the concept, it found the greasy soot left from the animals distasteful, nothing like the pure ash it was meant to create from its primary purpose.

>The programmings its creators had blessed it with could not quite grasp other sensations either. Had it the words, R35T might talk of creeping desperation. Despair. Once it crossed paths with a malfunctioning unit, tipped onto its side, tracks spinning in useless frustration. The malfunctioning unit's engine screamed in protest but R35T left it there. It would shut down completely, one day. Never again to do its duty.

>During another cycle, R35T saw two units scrambling to collect and process the same piece of biological matter. A single broken femur, tooth-marked and nearly dried to dust in the sun, had been unearthed by one of the mover-units. And the two collectors each tried to do their duty, neither wanting or able to back down. RE5T had to shut off its auditory circuits to silence the noise of metal thundering against metal, until one of the two units was silenced forever.
