Anybody ever developed/homebrewed their own traits?
While the game is pretty comprehensive, I also feel like that might be one of the easiest things to expand but I've never really thought about it myself.
Charles Cruz
I'll post again for the new thread.
>Is all on info on the organic TITAN fork in the FATE book? I found the idea pretty cool.
Chase Miller
Kinda wanna play this game as it seems to be one of the better Sci Fi games, but I'm turned off by the really /out there/ concepts like monkey, octopus, and ravens morphs along with the brain uploading shit.
Jonathan Reed
Then this game is not for you. Probably.
Depends on if you're an asshole about it, I guess.
Evan Young
Remember.
Don't respond to ancap posters, ignore ancap posts.
Is libertarian socialism a Basilisk Hack meant to incapacitate ancaps with rage?
Jace Ross
You can conduct memetic warfare without brainhacking.
Jace Martinez
Then play anther sci-fi game. I'm all about uploading and weird shit in my sci-fi and I (and most people here) will tell you EP isn't THAT great. The system is meh, the setting is full of skub and missed opportunities. It might be the best RPG about transhuman stuff on the market but that's not saying much.
Maybe if you tell us what you would like to see in your sci-fi setting/system we could suggest a game that's better suited for you.
Gabriel Wright
I'm a fan of the Alien movies, The Expanse, Firefly, Dead Space, and Battlestar Galactica.
Sebastian Stewart
Play Transhuman Space.
It's GURPS.
Jace Jones
What kind of systems do you prefer? If you like light narrativish systems Battelstar Galactica and Firefly have books dedicated specifically to them. I've heard good things about the BG RPG.
Noah Rodriguez
I've played Shadowrun 4th, CoC 6th and 7th, nWoD, Dark Heresy, Warhammer Fantasy 2nd, and EotE.
Wyatt Cox
Not a huge fan of GURPs. It's nothing against the people but the ton of books doesn't meld with our group well.
Joshua Price
If you're down with FATE (and you should be if you not into crunchy system) you might like Diaspora. It's a hard sci-fi Traveler clone, which, if you're not familiar, is basically Firefly minus wild west aesthetics. It's a good game.
Nicholas Bell
Considering you played some pretty heavy systems don't knock GURPS. The core book (or even the free 20 page GURPS-lite pamphlet) and the Ultratech book would be more that enough to run just about any sci-fi game you want.
Mason Long
The problem is that we want an established universe, something that GURPS and Diaspora doesn't support. We'd prefer it to be an 'original' setting, for lack of a better term. It's a lot to ask for, I completely understand that.
Samuel Morris
Established as in being a part of a popular franchise outside of rpgs or as in having a setting book?
Connor Young
Setting book.
Jose Sanders
GURPS Transhuman Space has already been mention. It's a vision of less advanced transhumanism than EP.
There are several editions of Traveler which do have setting books.
Serenity (Firefly RPG) and Battlestar Galactica RPG are right up your alley.
Zachary Baker
This is in fact mentioned several times in the setting, though I wonder where the line would be drawn.
Asher Lewis
Transhuman Space is absolutely an original setting.
Oliver Rivera
It seems pretty close to Eclipse Phase, and it's also GURPS. I'll take a closer look though.
Henry Evans
Can one change the innate gender of an ego without psychosurgery?
Justin Ramirez
I dunno, can you do that now?
Jaxon Roberts
Then the natural choice would be to play an extreme Jovian/brinker bigot who regards all those things as alien abominations. You just need to figure out the reason why you're putting up with the soulless constructs masquerading as people for the sake of the plot.
Wyatt Martinez
>along with the brain uploading shit.
You should play something else. Uploaded minds are the single most important and far-reaching plot element in the entire setting. Without them there's no reason for any of the rest to exist.
