Default Any Interest in Eclipse Phase?

So i recently started reading the Eclipse Phase rulebook, and i have to say i am in love with the setting. Is there anyone in the Playground willing to give a game a shot?

I am willing to DM but am pretty new to the rules, also i have a character with a Reaper morph that i am desperate to try out.

EDIT: for anyone who is interested you can find and download all the rulebooks here, this is entirely legal and above board as the rules are open source

I sincerely hope that this could work, the last games i tried went flatline.

before I say anything else, does anyone have a link for a worthwhile online sheet? cuz it takes like forever to make one yourself (I know, cuz I've made one; 3 times).

I ran a game for a few weeks. I ran out of time to keep it going, so it died. Check out the resources page, http://eclipsephase.com/resources. That with a few Google searches will get you all the resources you need. I'd like to throw some suggestions out for you if you are starting this.
1. Make sure to describe the environments deeply and give your players free reign to describe things for you.
2. Pacing on PbP is crucial. Keep the pacing quick and it will keep everyone's energy going.
3. Don't approach the game as a typical table-top campaign. Think of each post or few posts as an entire scene. That will keep mundane back and forth to a minimum and advance the story quickly.
4. Have players post contingency plans. I'll do X and if X works do Y and if it fails do Z. This will also keep your pacing up.

All said, let everyone own the game and have fun. The setting is brilliant and the mechanics are fast and loose. By far, my favorite system I've ever played.

Since nobody else has a ravening need to GM the game, i will gladly do it.

16 is as follows:

Sample Character Sheet:

Spoiler


We dont have an online character sheet, feel free to link one if you can find it, but for now if you can come up with a text sheet something like this it would be great.

The characters will begin the game as relatively low ranking agents of FIREWALL, having proved themselves in a fairly minor mission (recovering an artifact, assisting another agent to complete their mission etc.) Your Morphs and Egos have been transported to Locus by FIREWALL and you are currently awaiting further instruction.

That's about it for now, will post some current events later.

Is there anything special you are looking for in characters, GM? Like, If we where Gatecrashing, it would be smart to have a brawn, a brain, and the all purpose guy along with the xenobotanist/xenoarcheologist and the xeno-communicationist.

I really don't want to create a character that i like but finds out that the strong sides of the character is totally useless for this particular game (A famous popstar socialist is not a good idea for gatecrashing btw.)

Oooh, yay, Eclipse Phae. My last game went dead. I'm thinking of playing the social role. Maybe pick up the psi trait. Money and mind-reading is powerful combination.

I assume there will be a lot of Earth exploring, hm? I have an idea of spiritual AGI with both computing and humanities skills, existing as infomorph in form of Angel... but since I have read about TITAN and Exsurgent virus I believe it not so good character ^^

If Hemmon wants to play a Xenobiologist, I will take a traditional hacker role :-P

Or... Angel AI will suit the plot...?

Sorry, i should have gone into some more detail, but it was really late last night.

All the characters should have some connection to Firewall, they should have worked as Sentinels or for Sentinels at some time before the present day.

We will not be Gatecrashing, rather you will be infiltrating a large and rather heavily defended facility in order to retrieve or destroy something.

That being said we will probably need a brawn, a hacker, an all purpose/stealth guy and a scientist with a specialty in building starships.

they said if we run into TITANs weve done something horribly wrong, so we can safely assume that we are going no where near that technolovecraftian hellhole.

That depends very much on your actions and how you accomplish the goal that Firewall will give you.

Oh, and it would be a good idea for someone to be familiar with piloting a spaceship as well.

So far we have the following archetypes

Pilot: ChaoticSky
Stealthy Guy/Hacker: Hemnon
Party Face/Socialite: cgrela

We do need at least one person to be combat focused, we wont be in a lot of fights but i dont want the whole party dying because of one failed Infiltration roll and a lucky pair of Mercs.

I made a character for a previous EC game that unfortunately has stalled out. He would be a infiltrator/socialite/soldier type. He's also a Jovian loyalist... so that will have to be re-tooled.

Oh, Eclipse Phase! Cool!

I'd say I'm interested, probably using a character I made (but never got to use) in another game. Basically, Daniel Jackson with a bit of Indiana Jones, as played by a bird.

(That is to say, Xenobiologist/Somewhat combat-y raven uplift.)

A google-docs sheet for him here.

@Sithis: Looks good, happy to have you on board!

@Iron Victory: Mechanically your character looks fine, but a Jovian's not going to fly as i plan on them being primary antagonists for the first act of the campaign.

Here's a touch of fluff to give you guys an idea of current events.

Remember that this and all other such posts i make are written by people within the game and as such they have their own biases and motivations.

I had a group once that took these as word of god, that didn't turn out well...

Maybe I just missed it, but is there any reason the Jovians haven't just taken over Europa already? There doesn't seem to be much stopping them from doing so.


Also, having finally taken the time to read over your Big 16 carefully, I realize that Eli needs another 100 CP of stuff. (Since he was built using the standard 1000 CP.) There are also a few background things that you wanted that I'll be adding in shortly.

So, woo!
