Droids is a science-fiction robot role-playing game. [1] The rules cover construction of droids (i.e., character creation), combat, droid society, encounters, and scenarios. [1] The player characters are robots trying to survive after humanity destroyed their world. [1]
Droids: The Cybernetic Role-Playing Game was designed by Neil Patrick Moore, and published by Integral Games in 1983 as an 80-page digest-sized book. [1]
Tony Watson reviewed Droids in Space Gamer No. 64. [2] Watson commented that "Droids fails as an RPG. A role-playing game requires more than a character generation system and rules for combat. Where the booklet might have some real applicability is as a design system for robots for existing SF RPGs such as Traveller and Star Frontiers . The rules provided for designing droids and the comprehensive listings of components are very good, but as an independent role-playing game, Droids is wide of the mark." [2]
Ian R. Beste reviewed Droids for Different Worlds magazine and stated that "My recommendation: if you like hack-and-slash, get Droids. If you need some robot design rules for a campaign of, say, The Morrow Project, look at Droids. Otherwise, skit it." [3]
