Synthetics is a 47 page guide to synthetic humans in the HOSTILE setting. Clones get the treatment first, from the avatars of the multi-millionaires who just can't bear the thought of death, to the illegal clone convicts, the replicants, and the mass produced 'proles', the genetically enhanced workers given two-bit memory implants and sent to work on the worst worlds imaginable. And then there are the Zeds... clones coming straight out of a Blomkamp movie…
Androids are described in full: advantages, disadvantages, and an enhanced construction checklist with a number of extra options. You can now buy cheap! Don't spend $990,000 on a new epsilon-generation model, save your bucks with a pre-used delta or if you don't mind an android with a head 'like a novelty condom', buy a gamma. Costs as much as a city car. Shawn Fisher has given us a great assessment of how these artificial people are treated, what their rights are and what uses such tools are being put to. Synthetics - in collaboration with Transdyne Cybersystems and Haruna Biolabs. 47 pages, PDF via DriveThruRPG, Softback via Lulu
