RuneQuest (assuming standard alternating sessions). Last week was Krononauts, which I missed due to having to strip skulls and extract brains.

Subject: [Churchofgaming] Leibwachter is TL9 spp. mod.
Message-ID: <1da1a01c9df14$2d2b9260$086a010a@mail2world.com>
The Leibwachter is made from TL9 features but note that +3DX is a
species mod. This is a new species unable to breed true with normal
humans. If you don't want this drop to Dx+2 (the individual PC can buy a
further +1 to make +3).

Subject: [Churchofgaming] AI AE AC
Message-ID: <23A0BA1B384143B3B54B7A1B3A305B46@mail2world.com>
Three terms are found in the timeline for computer 'intelligence': AI AC
and AE. I have formulated GURPS explantations of these working within
existing GURPS rules (esp from robots, space, and ultratech) but so far
have not found time to get them typed out. The piece would includea bit
on computers/robots at TL9 and in our projected society. The ideas deal
with an ethical puzzle and allow for three types:(from most to least
common)
Super specialised non-human machines
Robots with intelligence but no rights
Robots with intelligence and limited rights
Robots with intelligence and full rights (possibly only 2, those who
control the time machines)
