Finally getting around to really reading GURPS: Transhuman Space.
A chapter opening vignette talks about a suspect being found to have the mind of another person uploaded into them; thus making the mind found there guilty of murder.
The original person's mind being discarded during the upload.
If they'd downloaded that person's mind before uploading their own; would it just be kidnapping?
I can see why FuzzyGeff, a huge fan of this setting, never set to GM it. There's a lot going on to account for.
Settings that have this much going on demand a certain level of commitment from the players to learn the setting and not to just sit back and take it in as the GM describes the events surrounding their characters.
That might work in a generic fantasy setting, it doesn't fly once the setting gets past a certain density.
It's the same barrier to entry that makes many Traveller campaigns go stillborn.
