Condensed Players Guide - Eclipse Phase by Posthuman Studios

• PRODUCT TYPE: softcover supplement
• RETAIL PRICE: 24.99 each
• DESCRIPTION: Includes the setting introduction, character creation rules, basic resolution, combat, and gear rules. PCs explore a post-apocalyptic game of transhuman horror. Humanity is enhanced and improved, but also battered and bitterly divided. Technology allows the re-shaping of bodies and minds, but also creates opportunities for oppression and puts the capability for mass destruction in the hands of everyone. And other threats lurk in the devastated habitats of the Fall, dangers both familiar and alien. In this harsh setting, the PCs participate in a cross-faction conspiracy called Firewall that seeks to protect transhumanity from threats both internal and external.

It's fun to see the ways people find ways to share their favorite things. B.D.S.M. is obviously a reference to C.H.U.D., Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers. (I mean, it is here, though given the well-known crossover between geeks and kinksters I bet they were trying to grab people's attention...) And the Dragonborn is clearly a way to bring a 3e race into OSR mechanics.
