Sentient Circuits

Sentient Circuits is a Tabletop RPG set in the far future where humanity has spread far and wide from its home, Old Earth. There have been waves of expansion but the most recent has been fueled by the advent of the Android 500 years prior to the era in which Sentient Circuits takes place. It was such a revolutionary event that the year is recorded as A-500. Humanity finds itself in the midst of an ideological struggle with the Old Colonies in an uneasy peace with Old Earth and its Commercial Colonies. But it is not just the old ideologies that vie for control of the future. The Androids, humanity's children, are speaking up and bringing new perspective to old conflicts. Some look to inherent the Earth and others simply to be left alone. Others are protective of humanity and others wish to control humans as humans controlled them in their contract days. Players of Sentient Circuits find themselves as Androids in this turbulent time. Androids are powered by the Plant within them, an unstable immensely powerful generator core that requires advanced predictive algorthims and powerful circuitry to contain. It was this pursuit for a machine that could harness the Plants properly that led to the emergence of general artificial intelligence. Having not been planned for and been built for no purpose but to survive, these AI do just that. Survive. And in the intervening 500 years they have thrived. Given the unparalleled power of the Androids they are feared by many, worshiped by some, and rarely produced. Androids are unlike your typical heroes. Given the vast power they wield, failure is optional. Should you push your Plant hard enough, you can perform miracles. Do the impossible. But this can come at great personal cost. Given that you can do anything, there is only one question... What will you do with the power of the Plant
