So, who is playing this? What are your impressions ?

Own it, haven't had a chance to play it yet.  I might get some friends together later on this month to try it out.

Seems cool, and I like a lot of the ideas, but I'm curious to see if it comes together well at the table.

I played it at a con a few weeks ago. I liked the premise a lot, but I found the resolution mechanic, with playing cards, intrusive to the action.

I saw it online a couple of months ago, and people talked a bit about around here, and I love the style, premise and cards, and the box looks fantastic from those pictures.

It's just so freakin' expensive, expecially if it were to be shipped here.

But it's really a game I'm interested in trying.

I love that boxed sets packed with stuff, moreso if it is so nicely produced.

(And the chick is hot, in a nerdy manner).

Just in case, I guess.

Well, it certainly looks interesting. It's quite clearly an RPG. It also appears to be on the expensive side. So either way, I'll be giving it a pass.

riiiiiiiiiiiight.

Freemarket Station has a reputation economy, so the best way to gain power and influence and get the things you want is to earn respect by being clever, talented, and altruistic. Players decide what it is they want and that's what the game's about. Since it is a post-death, post-scarcity world, it could be pretty much anything. You can make stuff (like apple trees and memes) if you've got enough reputation, but there's only so far you can go without bumping up against somebody else who wants the same mindshare you do. I haven't played but I've read the game and watched Jared running it at Origins - it seems to revolve around very intense conflicts about excellent stuff like making the best possible batch of soba noodles or popularizing a particular set of dance moves.

A good literary analogy is Cory Doctorow's book Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, or maybe some Charles Stross.
