GM looking to run some Sci-Fi [Eclipse Phase]

I'm looking to start an Eclipse Phase game. I'm hoping for between three and five players not including myself. I'd like to play weekly, but I'm flexible. My date/time schedule is also flexible, pretty much anything other than Sunday nights for the next two weeks, after that I should still be available most evenings. I'm fairly familiar with the system and more than willing to teach new players who want to try out a unique and deep science fiction setting. Eclipse Phase allows for a ton of different campaign types and play styles and I want to give players input into the type of campaign they are interested in. As such I haven't planned out much right yet (though I have quite a few ideas). Also I'd like do do it over voice, either with Skype or the Roll20 voice chat. "Eclipse Phase is a pen & paper roleplaying game of post-apocalyptic transhuman conspiracy and horror. An "eclipse phase" is the period between when a cell is infected by a virus and when the virus appears within the cell and transforms it. During this period, the cell does not appear to be infected, but it is. Players take part in a cross-faction secret network dubbed Firewall that is dedicated to counteracting "existential risks" — threats to the existence of transhumanity, whether they be biowar plagues, self-replicating nanoswarms, nuclear proliferation, terrorists with WMDs, net-breaking computer attacks, rogue AIs, alien encounters, or anything else that could drive an already decimated transhumanity to extinction." -from eclipsephase.com
Interested. I only have the corebook. If the time fits me I would love to play
I am also interested, though I have no knowledge of the system itself and my availability is limited. You say your time is flexible, but depending on which players wish to join we might have conflicting availability. Either way, you have my attention.
Hey guys. Glad to see some interest. We have two other players and me as the GM. We're planning on meeting for character creation/campaign planning and possibly a short session on Sunday (it should be the listed date and time for the next session). I'm not sure if we're going to be playing regularly every Sunday or what, but we'll figure it out on Sunday before doing anything else. Storywise it's looking like it is most likely going to be a Gatecrashing campaign. So lots of exploring alien worlds and turning up alien and lost horrors kind of stuff. So if you're still interested let me know and I'll send you an invite to the campaign.
When do you plan to run sessions? I am available 9pm+ CDT (GMT -5) excluding Tues & Wed. I have never played EP but have just now gone out and read some blurbs on it and it sounds like it could be fun. I've played a host of other systems so it should not take long for me to pick up at all.
I'm definitely interested. I haven't gotten a chance to play it before, but I have the core book and Gatecrashing + I've read many post-singularity novels (Stross is amazing and Hannu Rajaniemi is godlike). I can probably make it any day but Thursday with late night being ideal (GMT -7).
Ok, so we're starting to fill up, but since we haven't done any pre-campaign planning yet I'm not sure who is and isn't going to stick around. We are getting together on Sunday at 3:30 EST to character creation and maybe the first session. If you are interested and can make that session send me a private message and I'll get you a campaign invite. Then we'll go from there.
Hmm, darn, I am not available during that time. Is that when you plan to continue doing sessions at or by chance with the regular campaign sessions be more in the evening? If there is no chance of sessions being in the evening that would be helpful for me to know since that is my availability.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to make that time. Evening would be better, otherwise good luck and have fun guys.

Colour me very interested, assuming times can work. I'm Australian, so I'm used to have wonky times to the rest of the world. I've been a massive fan of Eclipse Phase for ages, but have never actually played it. Well that's not quite true, I ran a Warhammer 40k "Dark Heresy" campaign with the very sleek Eclipse Phase rules, which was a blast. So yeah, I'm very familiar with the system (having converted it to 40k) and the Eclipse Phase universe. Gosh I hope the times zones are kind :P

Hey James, I hope I'm not too late but I would love to join in for Eclipse Phase if you're still accepting players. The time works perfectly for me, being in the same timezone is pretty nifty as well. I've got the game's mechanics and fluff nailed down pretty well, Also I'm entirely open to working with the setting and plot points to make the experience that much better.
Sorry man. We're pretty full. I'll let you know if anything changes.
The time seems to have changed to Friday evenings. We have two possible open spots. If anyone is interested and has their Fridays free, send me a PM.
Are you playing every Friday? And what time on Friday? I tend to be busy the 2nd Friday of the month (possibly free extra late). I am also busy before 9pm CDT (UCT -5)
I can make Friday work depending on the time aswell.
This week we're playing at 7:00 PM EST.
I should be getting off work around 6-7 Central, so I may very well be able to make this given ten mins to half an hour. I understand the challenge of it, but if the group is fine with it, could there be a 30 min delay to the game?
The campaign is already in progress, so we can bring you in whenever you show up.
I have been searching for some sci-fi alternatives to Shadowrun and Dark Heresy around here. I'm DLing the books. Will take a look soon and attempt character creation. Friday nights should work for me. Send me a PM if you dont mind a completely new player to the system. Check out my profile for personal info.

I would love to join, if you would have me I will bring my persona to match the game. I love to RP in character, but I enjoy combat as much also. I am available any time on any day other than Wednesday & Sunday Evenings, I have a high quality mic and am quite good with providing voices to match X). I am on PST in the Pacific Northwest Even if you are full, please at least let me know, and best case keep me on standby until a slot opens XP, I am very familiar with roll20 and macros so as to keep the speed of the session moving, and have read up to the gm section of the world lore, as to avoid spoilers a gm would provide. I would be happy to play as an Infomorph Muse/Ghostrider Module X), would prefer it actually, so even easier to join in XD ~X
