Included with the rest of the matter of the game are a series of papers called the Robowars Fabrication Framework. These are the "tools" of Robo, which are intended to be copied and used liberally to help you create modules, products, and even empires for your own purposes of playing Robo.
Effective use of the Robowars Fabrication Framework (RFF) is very straight forward. Follow the guidelines on the schemes we've provided, and fill them out to either your heart's content, or until they are sufficient to use or store. The trick to using them is to USE them...write down your module notes and gaming events that you've kept in your notebook, into a reasonable and presentable fashion. To which, you can develop as much or as little as you need to about any part of a module, empire, or object.
The scheme-sheets that make up the Empire Packet in the RFF are meant to be a sufficient and standardized way to organize the information within an empire, or outside one, as well. We encourage you to trade copies of finished Module Record Sheets (that should turn out to be packets) with other players and "DM"s, and even send them to US. (The address is in the folder.)
Working out a standardized format to record everything that was in Robo by the time we decided to get more serious about the whole thing took quite a while. Many times we had futzed around on a "battle" system, or a "damage system", and other such vain elements to Robo as that...until we figured out that the important information was our ideas...not our systems. The systems were non-existent. Therefore, since most of what we've done for Robo is create, we encourage you to build empires, companies, flesh and steel concepts, and to share them with US and OTHERS as well!
At this point in time, we have not the resources or money to publish everything you send to us, but we plan on building ways that Robo players can fill the galaxy together with their ideas, and see in print, some of the best ideas (in our eyes) which come our way. So lets get crackin!
