Subject: cyberpunk & bionics in traveller
Some Questions for the Assembled TML Wisdom to Ponder:
======================================================
What world characteristics do people think would be appropriate for the
development of a cyberpunk style society in Traveller? I tend to think an
Early Stellar tech, High Population world at least is required (or the
world is a colony of such a place). What else - Government type?
If you can suggest example worlds please do so - especially if within the
Spinward Marches.
How socially acceptable do you think artificial body parts/bionics would
be in the Imperium at large?
What about 'organ legging', as per Larry Niven's stories (and now the real
world, or so it is rumoured)? Do you think this crime can exist in the
Imperium? If yes, where and why? If not, why not?
