I'm actually tempted to put this in my campaign as an NPC, just to torment my players with it

Question. would a character with a cyberbrain be able to set up their inputs or whatever to have a muse filter out things a character doesn't wanna see? eg. Eldritch horrors.
Ayden Ward
Maybe. If you find a way to stop the signal from the eyes on its way to the brain and make a fork to be your muse and order to him "i don't want to see shit that can scare me!" but he will need to erase or cover up those things and redirect the edited visual in the brain so maybe you would experience some lag in your visual perception.
Connor Adams
Until your muse breaks.
You monster.
Noah Richardson
Yes, altering your sensory input like that is called skinning, and can be unlimited in its scope. The core book also mentions something called a killfile, which does the exact thing you talk of, except for people who are pic related. And it doesn't need a cyberbrain, just basic mesh inserts.
Caleb Perez
So I can make those face-eating, deformed exsurgents look like little magical girls (or pixelated Doom imps) to me in order to save my sanity? Wouldn't that open up certain vectors of attack, though?
Isaiah Young
Yes, obviously. It means including something that could theoretically be subverted by even non-TITAN forces. You could end up having the opposite of intended effect, and start seeing everything as an exsurgent.
Zachary Butler
or you could simply embrace the madness
Jaxson Gonzalez
>So I can make those face-eating, deformed exsurgents look like little magical girls (or pixelated Doom imps) to me in order to save my sanity? Of course.
However, to do that you either need to be aware of them in some fashion(so by the time you get around to it the damage might be inflicted already)or have a script or AI do it for you(and these can be subverted). The impact of you not actually knowing what you're up against can also bring about some complications.

Why are the jovians generally considered the best faction?
Caleb Martin
Because Veeky Forums hates what you love and loves what you hate, and fuck you for telling them what to think - they will disregard the shit out of your premise if we can make some memes.
Sebastian Sanchez
Because anons who got triggered by the writers' leftist bias tend to relapse into the opposite extreme in some misguided attempt to get back at them and the people who actually enjoy the setting.
Jonathan Brown
>Why are the jovians generally considered the best faction? Because they're an edgy anti-transhumanist faction in a world full of transhumanists, and Veeky Forums is mostly populated with 12-year olds.
Levi Ortiz
Contrarianism mostly. Some people like them because they're more relatable than other factions. Then there's the HFY wankers.
Isaac Thomas
Veeky Forums is to the gaming community what /pol/ is to Veeky Forums

Luis Davis
Because they're the lewdest
Carson Jackson
I'd say Argonauts are, given they have all the super AI waifus, and bleeding edge tech.
The only way that they could be better as the bastion of humanity would be if they had an extrasolar colonization program. Speaking of which, if there were a Pandora Gate in Jovian orbit, where would it be?
>ringworld habitat Those need space magic to stay together.

Juan Long
>Those need space magic to stay together. >Implying there isn't space magic in the Eclipse Phase universe.
Jaxson Gray
The fuck is this shit?
Henry Phillips
Fuck yes, I am thinking of running a campaign based around this premise.
I was gonna have the Pandora gate be discovered at the bottom of the sea on Europa. It would start magnificent shit.
Cameron Sanders
so its not an active pandora gate?
Camden Lewis
So, if a Redline race were to be held in the Eclipse Phase universe where do you think it ought to be? The TQZ seems like the obvious choice, but doing it on an exoplanet is also pretty cool. Earth maybe? Or just do the same shit as in the movie and have it run through Jovian space?
Tyler Perry
with exoplanet the limit is your imagination
Nolan King
>implying the Jovians would treat a Pandora Gate in their territory as anything but a massive security risk
Jose Butler

Thomas Flores
it is a security risk, but with enough nukes, it's not really a problem.
Andrew Davis

Juan Cox
Next you'll say they don't have AI. The Jovian's would be all over a gate, it would just be a state secret.
Jose Lewis
A gate is incomprehensible TITAN/ETI technology that's second only to exsurgents in terms of sheer SHOULD NOT BE. You really think they'd have no reservations about that?
Luis King
One thing I do like about Eclipse Phase is how the giant killer robots can also be really nice people.
Jordan Rivera
eheh true
Carter Stewart
I can totally see a few different ways to explain what's happening in that image, and they would all make complete sense in the game.
Cooper Evans
i totally agree

I mean space magic as in materials that have a higher material strength than chemical bonds allow.
I meant besides the godawful pre-Fall/Fall worldbuiling that the devs shat onto paper.

Why are all the machines and AIs evil, again?
Colton Lopez
AI are seen as dangerous because of what happened with the TITANs
Elijah James
Actually not all the AI only the one most powerfull ones.
The AI of a blender is not usually seen as dangerous, an AGI in a morph is, for some people (mostly Jovians)
Henry Murphy
Realistically could get the lag to under a millisecond.

i actually did not remembered that there was something similar described in the book, so i was just trying to think to something for that job.

Do mechanical augmentations to biological morphs have any place in Eclipse Phase?
Henry Rodriguez
...
Jose Cook
Sure, if you don't have a healing vat around, do some heavily experimental shit, or are an edgy fuck. Also when you don't have time to regrow your tragically lost body part so you just plug in a new one.
Owen Cook
Material discriminations about organical or mechanical are implied in wound threshold and durability. GM can tweak these values (i do) when confront one organic with inorganic.
The real difference comes to the somatic attr. The moravec's paradox is not averted but ignored.
Samuel Reyes
>organical Don't you have homework to be doing?
Andrew Long
Not really. The biotech level is too high for mechanical augmentation to be as powerful as it is in other cyberpunk settings. That being said, a lot of the classics are still in play: cyberclaws, cyberlimb (as extra limbs), cyberlimb+, hand lasers, hardened skeleton, reflex booster, etc. Replacing a limb with a cyberlimb without adding a hidden weapon is rendered obsolete by healing vats and basic biomods, though.
Ethan Morgan
You can also mimic a lot of sensory and mental augs with cyberware - but typically this is an alternative for Synthmorphs who have no meat to mod.
Jackson Fisher
They can be if you want them to. I've made basic biomods much less potent than they are in the setting; if you lose an arm or leg it ain't growing back, and biomods does NOT give you a blanket immunity to every single conceivable disease in existence that isn't alien shit or artificially made stuff. Also nanotechnology is less widespread in this incarnation of the setting, so it's not a guarantee that you'll have access to a healing vat.
Logan Torres
Sometimes i forgot doublecheck with the dic.
> I'm not a robot
Angel Brown
Cyberware is for upgrading your existing morph because you can't, for some reason, replace it. I consider it a personal challenge to make my starting morph, that particular body, to be the one I spend the entire game in (circumstances of the game allowing, of course). Cyberware is one of the critical pieces of that self-challenge.
There ate also quite a few things that can only be done with cyberware
James Gray
Fuck you man. It almost as bad as Shadowdragon's shit.
