This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Back on topic.

White Wolfs Aeon/Trinity RPG was an interesting take on the transhuman aspect as that was the whole thrust of the PCs as they were humans who had had psi powers awakened by a special process so as to combat the superheroes of the previous Aberrant RPG. Toss in a little biomodding as well.

I like Corporation RPGs fluff.

I see it as some kind of midwaypoint between Cyberpunk 2020 and Eclipse Phase. It has geopolitically located megacorporations (kinda like Mutant Chronicles) and a multicorporate United Nations-like organization that is supervised (ruled?) by an artificial intelligence.

whoo. Totally forgot one.

Buck Rogers RPG from TSR. The whole setting premise was transhumans colonizing the solar system and then overthrowing the Earth government. Each planet having some adaptations to the terraformed environs or added animal genes to aid in adaption.

I rather liked Aeon/Trinity.  The system was super clunky, but its the White Wolf's one, so that was to be expected, however, the story and lore was much better than anything I had at the time.  I still have the original books.

Of the three, Aberrant had the cleanest playing system. Aeon/Trinity felt a little less refined. Which makes sense if it came out before Aberrant? I have the odd "black binder" version with the Trinity title
