They are sentient, and they do have rules about not turning on their masters, though some have found ways of reprogramming themselves. There are also some military robots that don't have the standard rules forbidding them to harm humans, but they have other programming requiring them to follow the commands of their superiors.Blasters and plasma rifles yes, ray guns no. Monkeys wielding them, also not built into the setting. What I'm going for is retro, not cheese. Think of it in terms of Battlestar Galactica. The setting is pretty equally dark with both versions, however, I think its fairly safe to say that the original is far more optimistic and swashbuckling than the new one. While I like them both, think of RoD as having more in common with the original than the new one. If there is an element of cheese, it will be introduced by the narrator, not the setting itself.</blockquote>
