The Last Angel series (spacebattles.com) has 2 female AI in warships (started with one and then there were 2 and more are trying to be made) I'd have to look at the 2nd book (Last Angel: Ascension) but there were some ship AIs that might have been male and were unstable.

In some ways you could argue why watch sports other than to watch people doing something you could be doing as well. I think watching other people roleplay can help your own RPG skills or at least look for other options. I usually don't find it interesting enough but then I wouldn't have...

I've always liked the idea of the Banestorm setting from GURPS Fantasy GURPS Banestorm It's a mash up because it's a magical storm pulling villages and people from all over. Yet it tries to ground the society in religion from history and not gods that take an active interest in human affairs...

It depends on the group you are playing with. Or if you are playing in AL. I may be unlucky but the AL games I've been in have rarely allowed the kind of RP that I enjoy. I prefer RP but I've seen a lot of groups just focus on the combat and leveling up treadmill and I generally don't...

The nature of the character's relationship to the world around them has always been an area where DM had to make things work. Does it cheapen the nature now there are mechanical reasons to do a thing. In some ways yes because it stops making sense as a part of the social aspect of the game and...

GURPS Time Travel covers a lot of the different possibilities. I've always liked the recursive nature of "The Man Who Folded Himself" by David Gerrold. So many different possibilities for time travel including jumping to different universes created from decision branches. Such as "The...

I always prefer to pick a setting that fits into the style of the campaign I want to run and general avoid playing in games that shoehorn a system into a setting. I don't really have a system preference other than I have a fondness for GURPS but will admit GURPS doesn't handle high power levels...

If you are doing a more Mexican Day of the Dead themed, try these quotes from Coco and a few other places “Seize your moment.” He’s been forgotten. When there’s no one left in the living world who remembers you, you disappear from this world. We call it the Final Death. “Our memories, they...

You say your goal is to reduce HP bloat but you do so in an unfair and uneven way. You claim you want realism but decide to play one of the most unrealistic combat systems for an RPG I personally don't care what you do to damage your game but the concept of HP bloat is D&D and there are so many...

I am enjoying both the lovecraft horror and the look at the racial issues of the time through a new lens. The heroes are flawed and are stumbling towards a truth that the viewer knows is going to kill them. Or maybe a fate worse than death.

What are you trying to solve with this cap? You mentioned teamwork but how does lowering hp increase teamwork?

The magic system of D&D really doesn't work like the Earthsea one at all. There are better systems to try to work with. Mage: The Ascension HERO GURPS Fate

In the Los Angeles conventions (Orcon, Gateway, Strategicon) in the 80s, there used to be a castle set where people could bring any character they wanted and try to make it into the castle. I didn't usually have time to participate but I don't think many characters made it to the castle doors.
