/epg/ - Eclipse Phase General

It's just a lion creature. It's not like it'll shoot you with eye beams that turn you into a lion creature, right?

No, but it'll sure shoot you with that gun it's holding.

Personhood as an in-setting commodity vs being able to be a tacticool Furry Fury. Would Critters have special mesh tag signifiers to signify they weren't Uplifts?

I doubt it's needed unless your Critter is modeled after a uplifted species.

What's some good stuff to find at the center of an alien labyrinth - possibly filled with hostile Minotaurs?

I'm thinking dragon dildo

>talking to a subhuman neanderthal spic when you can just discreetly sterilize the monkeyman with an x-ray gun built into your left eyebrow and simultaneously giving the animal terminal cancer

The center of the labyrinth is filled with nothing.

Once you get in, you can't get out. It's a bend in spacetime. That's why it's in a labyrinth. The aliens found or created this anomaly in spacetime and build a labyrinth around it to keep anyone from falling into it.

Who knows that kind of things have fallen in that hole before you did? Who knows what they are... who knows how hungry they are...

...

A golden ball of thread that's actually a device that allows for wormhole travel. Also seven more minotaurs.

You mean Cyberdemonminotaurs.

With rocketlaunchers for arms.

And then suddenly it turns out that they weren't in the labyrinth at all. They got hacked and just went crazy in the middle of a big space mall orbital station and killed a lot of people

>gee I sure am a bored TITAN, I just don't know what to do with my existence
>ah, I know. I'll hack some Firewall agents and play Doom - ON THEIR BRAINS

I like it

Best Gaifu

And here's another one for funsies.

...

...

did someone say critter morphs

What the fuck is this shit? Why would you make something with such an unnatural shape?

"lol exhumans"

It doesn't even look like it can stand straight without falling over.

...

roll to see what transhuman lunatics bust up your op

Rolled 89, 62, 67 = 218 (3d100)

>89
>seems to be transhuman doomguy
>62
>slutty gun-sword lady
>67
>a fucking neosnail
looks like my server upset some server from out rimward

Reminder: Do not give your GM ideas.

Decoy neosnail?

Does that deadman have a space laptop?

What are some ways to introduce noobs to the system? I think I might have a potential group and after I go through their pfg game I may try to bring up EP and entice them into playing.

Obviously giving them the main book and letting them go is the way to do it but obviously there is a lot of lore to understand before the majority of the setting begins to make sense.

Rolled 21 (1d100)

lets see what pretender to the title of humanity dares face the jovian navy

appears to be an old dude with robot legs. Not a transhuman monster but that beard screams anarchist.

If a party of heavily armed mercs/player characters get in a large shootout in the slummier bits of extropia what sorts of organized forces should they expect to face? Or will they only really encounter armed individuals or cooperating handfuls of enemies, because nobody can afford security contracts? One of my players has argued for the latter option being the predominant response, unless they accidentally endanger someone that matters.

I mean, Extropia has a pretty decent population. That said, if you're in a shitty neighborhood, then yes, obviously the people there aren't rolling in dough. Militia/posse, self-defense and mutual aid contracts are probably the most common.

However it's not only important people they might endanger, but property - which is highly valued by extropian ideals. If you damage actual structures/property people own, expect response from drones, maybe dedicated security guards. If anything you endanger might resemble hab infrastructure, Medusan Shield riot squads will start pouring in to break shit up before somebody breaks something important.

Rolled 93, 94 = 187 (2d100)

big cyborg brawler and ginger sniper chick.

...

...

Hey it's lord Beerus!

>tfw it was the only morph they had

Rolled 42, 4, 1, 100, 2 = 149 (5d100)

So this is what I inflict on my players

This is clearly if not a full-blown eraser squad then something at least close.

>42
A big guy. Weird skin, no visible armor, just big. Looks like an all-round combat character, though. The skin may be a camo coating, and weapons can be concealed.
>4
Some cyborg weaboo. No armor, so probably a masked synthmorph.
>1
Some chick, looks sneaky, but this is clearly combat gear
>100
A synthmorph with a decked-out sensory array and a result gun.
>2
Another masked synthmorph, this time with built-in weapons for security 'cause I refuse to believe anyone fights in melee this day and age.

Guys what do you think of EclipseCthulhu? I read it and the Pressure scenario and it looks fun.

How heavily armed are we talking about?

That's just a masked slitheroid.

...

Lab Instructor! I get it!

>You won't believe what other systems we have ported DOOM to.

That's fucking sergal

That thing has some fucking horrible ergonomics.

>TITAN hacks 3D printer facilities in a hypercorp production facility and starts producing imps, cyberdemons, zombies, etc. in REAL LIFE
>hacks everyone's implants and plays e1m1 inside their brains

DOOM in real life.

Kitted out like you'd expect for a team of sentinels given wide access to blueprints and materials for a week or two. It was mostly a theoretical matter, but if I tell them it will mostly be rabble my player might try to carve out a domain in the extropian slums. I imagine he'd stop short of a murder frisbee squad, but it would be something like a fork army of guard synths with partical beams or similar. He was tossing around the idea of going in with an entroptic banner declaring he would cease and desist hostilities against anyone that signed his protection contract and declared him boss.

The good old boys at OZMA vs which Firewall freaks?

Yeah, pretty sure extropia doesn't allow you to "carve out". Well, okay, in the REAL shitty areas, where you go into the old mining tunnels and are off the grid you might - but then your free market competition is other criminal shitbags.

But your domain can't be held by force. You have to pay Extropy Now at minimum to utilize hab space and resources, not accounting for any other services, subcontractors and the like who might own rights before you. Taking shit by Force will mean people start shitposting about you on @-list until either you get vigilanted, or as noted Medusa just shows up and is like "You have 60 seconds to comply". Extropia has very carefully engineered it's society and will resist the idea that some guy with more gun can come along and take over - it will be a social anathema to most residents.

...

If you're using lots of explosives, it's going to attract attention. Don't fuck with the Commons, or else people will go after you.

...

Prostitution and Space Furries, our greatest transhuman exports.

When exurgency overtakes the system and transhumanity is subsumed as yet another strain we can take comfort in the coming eons of computronium fem-bois and fractal snektits terrorizing uncomprehending aliens.

>All rogue alien tech is just their fetishes gone awry

This explains too much to be honest

I wrote it a long time ago, back before I'd actually played the game (in the same boat as most people in this thread). If I had to write it again I'd push some of the numbers around but overall not change much. Nobody else seems to have written any adventures on Europa and you could easily port it to regular EP if you changed one or two details.

...

...

...

...

...

...

Ugh. Planes should not be anthroed, especially for porn.

Eh, everything can be porn to someone.

Still, though, it doesn't make it right.

Remember, everything is a fetish.

Does that mean everything has to be erased, since God hates fetishes?

Probably.

Can someone translate this?

If you go down that road, then you will have to erase God, too. After all, everything is a fetish, including it and it hating things.

What's the freakiest space thing you've run into in the game, /epg/?

One of my players raped a Factor

A fade to black saved me

He had to resleeve later due to literal fungus growing inside his morph

I would have gone with it melting his dick off, aren't Factor's caustic?

Also armed with Eelware.

He was in a synthetic that was resistant to those things, the scumbag came prepared

I would have had the Factor completely misinterpret it because injecting bodily fluids is pretty much how they say hello. Like he thinks you're just trying to be friendly and that's not how you're supposed to do it but he appreciates you putting so much effort into it.

That's probably where fungal dick comes from. Tried to colonize the transhuman.

I wrote a new scenario, Live Without Your Sunlight, but I'm not sure if I should playtest it before posting it here.

oh the things you see on olaf
