This is a bioroids thread. This model is less /d/ than some of the official SJG bioroid models.

I am aware of that, and I think Bio-Tech is a fantastic exercise in presenting fetishes as legitimate parts of an RPG supplement.

Nah, Bio-Tech is on the tamer side of the bunch.

Could well be, but you don't have to go very far anyway. I think even players who know about my fetishes would say "Dude. Stop." if I used the Diana as written.

It seems that, outside of a small group people with very specific sexual interests, this bioroid isn't very useful; neither as an element to put into a campaign world, nor to play in a game or have as an ally.
I dunno. I think they'd be popular enough among groups like Men Going Their Own Way, or a lot of nerdy unwilling virgins. People that want relationships with women, but are either too inept to form one with a human woman, or too wary of the potential legal entanglements involved.

Since I have neither money, nor a copy of 'In the Well', I'll take your word for it. I assume there's more interesting things in that book than just fetish-templates?

I wonder if the latter is more, or less, common in TS than it is here.

Yes. All kinds of stuff about the Mars settlements, inner solar system space installations, Venus shell tourism, and a modular vehicle design system.

Obviously lots of legal problems with bioroids especially sex bioroids depending on jurisdiction. Even in most places that this model would be legal it is fairly regulated. Legal issues with marriage are probably slightly more complicated almost every where (where there is such a legal institution anyway). Basically no legal complications from VR sex with your VI or through Slinks almost anywhere though, and it's way cheaper too!

Yeah, but a bioroid won't divorce you on the drop of a hat and sue you for child support and alimony, with the threat of being thrown in prison if you fail to make your payments (even if they're more than you're capable of paying, because, say, you lost your job after your divorce). Seriously, the modern family court system is ****ed up.

They can flee to Europe, claim amnesty and then sue you for sapient rights violations. If you ever go to Europe you are then arrested and undergo a personality reconstruction with brainbugs. That's a little worse.

Your VI LAI will probably never sue you.

It doesn't make you your ex's defacto slave, though.

It's also not real.
