  3. You must!

    Human-level intelligences with magic (i.e. physics-breaking, logic-breaking powers) in conflict/the same universe with with hard-scifi post-*inserttheunholy"S"-wordhere intelligences? Like I said, "You must!"

    weevee: kxwoi (kexwy - name of the first magical-generated slave-superintelligence. Oxymoron? You be the judge.)

  4. I didn't want to be the first to say it, but I agree. I think it would be hella cool.

  5. The primary hurdle is making it sufficiently dissimilar to "Rounded With Sleep," a worthwhile novel by fellow Kansas Citian Rob Chilson. In his book, live-action adventure gaming has taken over the planet via tele-robotic avatars. I don't want to take that particular route.
