Eclipse Phase, the creative commons role playing game of sci-fi horror, has gone on to kickstarter in order to expand its rules and bring out a new player's handbook; Transhuman.
Transhuman: The Eclipse Phase Player's Guide will provide you with some expanded rules to enhance your gaming experiences, as well as a new and reportedly simpler set for character creation, which should hopefully make the game more accessible to both veteran gamers and those new to Eclipse Phase.

Can any of you tell us anything about Eclipse Phase? Will you be chipping in to the kickstarter?
