Aug 02, 2011 14:02:08 Lately I have started playing Shadowrun 4e (not related to D&D 4e), Savage Worlds, and Eclipse Phase (ok, I haven't really played any of this one yet. So far, I have only read through its setting and rule-set). Of the three, Shadowrun and Eclipse Phase have really impressed me with their setting/rules (though, I am still not a huge fan of the magic in Shadowrun). Hell, Eclipse Phase is neat/intelligent enough that it has me thinking in terms of my dissertation. Savage Worlds seems neat... very d20 Modern in terms of its open ended setting. However, I am not as big a fan of its ruleset. Anybody else happen upon any neat/interesting Modern/Sci-Fi games?

New essentials classes (that don't suck!) and negative magic is pretty awesome. And of course still eagerly awaiting the final release of Neurospasta and Ultramodern4.
