[QUOTE="TerminalVentures, post: 6708177, member: 6801686"] WHen I first encountered the setting/system I was really excited about it. I tend to do so with anything involving space. I haven't been able to play it anywhere near as consistently as I'd like but for me the rules seemed complicated and unruly until we actually started to play. Character building was just tedious and intricate, but the combat and challenges really worked out once played. Even running through the example in the book was easier once we actually took markers and the play mat and moved them around and attempted the actions with our new characters. Realistically if it's the setting you like you can use almost anything for it I tend to use d20 modern when I want to something in that settings but don't want to teach ppl how to play eclipse phase. On the other hand if it is the system that intrigues you I'd definitely say teach and play is it's well worth the effort. [/QUOTE]
