Developer Explains Clone/Transhumanist RPG 41
destinyland writes "How much would you use technology to change yourself if humanity faced extinction? In this interview, the two creators behind Eclipse Phase explain their bizarre role-playing game, which 'expands the transhuman conversation.' All the characters can be identical clones, and when you switch bodies, it affects your core characteristics while damaging your sanity.

Well, if I could be even reasonably certain I could kill 'em all, then, really there's no limit I wouldn't go beyond.

However for some reason I feel as if this game will involve fighting hordes of Tom Cruises and a John Travolta every now and then.
And then, Xenu sues you for copyright infringement and you seek exile in Canada.
