Buying it this afternoon. In a ROS game that's just starting up -- this couldn't have come at a better time. Oh, and I have tomorrow off, so awesome!

A full fiction chapter for an intro - I hope I and the other people like it :-). Good to see new approaches.

I've got a ROS game that's just starting up, myself. This saves me a whole lot of typing-out when I'm making a GM's notebook.

In casr anybody else is confused, I beleive the product in question is this one....

http://www.sjgames.com/gurps/books/willtolive/

..... _The Reign of Steel:Will to Live_ pdf which appears to hve been just released on E23.

Like _TransHuman Space:Changing Times_ this is a product updating a 3e setting to 4e mechanics.

......and, yes, that means all the bots are done for 4e. :)

"... the square root of (2.4 × robot’s BL), ..." (p. 19)

Isn't that just 0.7 × Lifting ST?

Marginally less: SQRT(48) is approximately 6.967. Allowing for rounding, it's close enough.

Thank you. I was confused.

It appears Ultra-Tech and the 3e Reign of Steel are needed to fully use this one. Correct?

Those and maybe High Tech too for low end human stuff. This is based on my impressions from the playtest.
