thoughts on eclipse phase?
unfamiliar
well gosh that seems pretty great, guess i better look it up
The setting is amazing, the publishers are good people, the core rules are Actually Free. The system is everything terrible about point-buy multi-chart 8-hour-chargen from the 1990s and needs to be dissolved in acid.
oh so it's GURPS Transhuman Space But Anarchist fuckin' lol
i mean i would personally rather use Eclipse Phase's system than GURPS but that is more about my antipathy to GURPS than because it's actually worse.

DOCTOR: The aircar accident took both your legs, sorry. We did replace them with safe, flawless cyber-prostheses. ME: Oh my god, that's amazing, but I'm just so happy to be alive! DOCTOR: I doubt it. At best, you're, oh... 70% as capable of love and warmth as you were before.
ME: Wait what DOCTOR: Yeah, your legs are gone, you're definitely less of a complete and soulful human being now. ME: What the fuck are you talking about? I'm hyped as hell to be alive and my plantar fascitis is toast, I love everything! DOCTOR: You're damaged goods, monster.
ME: What about that patient over there with the cyberarm? DOC: Medical literature says he's still about 85% sweet, empathic human. ME: 85 fucking percent? DOC: Yes. ME: His arm has a swastika-shaped buzzsaw and a nerve gas sprayer. DOC: Yeah, but he only had ONE arm done.
"Bad news, chummer. When you were sitting in the wheelchair you were fine, but now that you're standing up with the aid of your replica pirate peg leg, you're measurably worse at magic."
