Title: Eclipse Phase 2nd Edition

It's under CCL, so here's a copy. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TpGIqqcrTvNEumkr4B4gG0x0TguAFtve/view)

But if you want to buy a copy to support the RPG, go to DriveThruRPG (https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/284022?affiliate_id=77000&src=reddit).

I love the idea of a Transhuman RPG but Eclipse Phase has stuff like the following that I just cannot wrap my mind around:

Quote
Transhumanity’s grasp of neuroscience extends to scanning and copying a mind, but the most intricate workings of memory are still imperfectly understood. Making precise edits to individual portions of a neural network (to alter recollections, skills, and the like) is still a black art. The difficulty with neural pruning is that taking a weed whacker to the tree of memory isn’t an exact science.

Keep in mind the RPG allows the mind to live in virtual space...so somehow there has to be a way to upload a mind, preserve its memories, but also not fully understand how memory works...

Seems like an entertaining setting for an RPG, if you could find a group all interested in that sort of thing.
