Looking for Eclipse Phase EST

No gaming groups in the area, don't know EP well enough to run it myself, will try to make time for any offers.

I would be down for this. I am not sure I could play weekends but would love to play some EP.

So between us three I know of at least two more interested in an EP game. Should we get one created or wait for more?

Well there is the whole lack of a GM thing. I'll be honest and up front when I say EP is so far out of my GMing wheelhouse and with so many rules and angels to think about whole idea of running EP intimidates and terrorizes me.

Fair enough haha.

We could also advertise for a GM when the game gets posted. Not sure if everyone checks the forums.

I'm trying to run it now and doing very poorly. I need to experience it from the inside. I'll be glad to have you guys if we find a GM. Until then I'm going to go do my homework and listen to Caleb's "Know Evil" campaign again.

With me, I think the main issue is I am not a single system guy. I am running D&D 5e and Fate core and really EP seems like a system that you need to dedicate yourself to. I think the know evil would be a good way to get the feel.

My main problem is that I'm currently running one game and don't have the time and energy to run a second. I'm hoping this group finds a GM so I can join as a player (if time frames line up).

I really want to try my hand at running an EP game, but I've never actually even played it. So, I'm hesitant. I'd be interested as a player if we can get a GM.

And that is five, which is a good start of a group. A bit off topic for a looking for group, but what are your guys thoughts on the transhuman char gen options and the Fate conversion?

PACKS are cool. Not a huge fan of the Life Path though. I have never played FATE, but I'd be willing to try it out.

I like the lifepath when when yo do not know what to play and it seems very geared to new players who do not know the setting very well. I like Packs however, I have a large dislike for core char gen. I love fate and I have been waiting so very paciently for the alpha playtest, the beta was not too bad.

This is rapidly leaving my control. I wanted to make my own character. I don't even know what the FATE conversion is. Not that it matters, I posted a separate topic on this board, same thing but asking for a GM, and it collects dust.

Maybe just post the game and say that a GM is needed in the title. More people seem to respond to those than the forum. Maybe we'll get lucky

Hi, Penultmatum. My questions were about the two other character gen options. Those will come up if we ever find a GM. On the Fate I was just curious, I have GMed Fate and it is among my all time fav game systems. Post human is doing a conversion for fate, it was part of the Transhuman kickstarter. The issue with finding a GM is there are Always more players than GM's for any game. And EP is a nitch game of a nitch gernara.

I'm only new myself and haven't used the other char gen options. The only one I have tried is here: <a href="http://eclipsephase.oook.ch/Creator/version4/index" rel="nofollow">http://eclipsephase.oook.ch/Creator/version4/index</a>... It works ok, a few bugs but nothing too crazy.

That is standard char gen. To be honest that was what cost me any change of running this game IRL. I had one group hooked, if lightly. They took a single look at char gen and were out. Which is why I like the PACKs system from Transhuman. I actually have a "Game" set up if some of you want to join just to chat and mess around with the EP roll20 sheets( which are nice) or over all walked though char gen. Its just something I had set up I smetimes used to pitch roll20 and walk new folks though some base fetures,

Fair enough. I actually have a lot of fun creating characters, even if I know that I'll never use them.

Well, my current EP game, died out from lack of player commitment. Very frustrating. Though we had a mixture of Europeans in it, and stuff, and I'm PST so I'm sure there wasn't much of an agreeable time. I do want to run EP more so. I dont know if I want to run the game I was running or try a different angle. My current game, is to have a group of unaligned folks, that get on a ship, either invited by the ship, or happen to be on the ship. They work together, for now, because the ship has a dastardly reputation of being a haven of skilled folks, and gets them jobs. You don't start off in Firewall, but you eventually get adducted/inducted into Firewall. Eventually, I'll let the group get into a more structured campaign with an ending. I dont have a care to how the group runs its operation. The current group (now ex), manage to avoid all combat with being deft, and quick. They were floating around Saturn. Uh... the ship had some mysteries and I want the PCs to upgrade the ship.

so would you be restarting this game?

I wouldn't mind trying Eclipse Phase...I may need some guidance though. I've been a bit of difficulty figuring out what I need through character creation.

Hey Monkof lords, if you just wanna learn char gen, I would be happy to help you grasp it. Feel free to PM me.

Shannon S. said: so would you be restarting this game? Yea. I think I will be trying to finish up a one show I started last saturday next saturday. Um. The time worked our well for me was someytime Saturday. We were running the game at 10am PST, which be about 1pm EST.

<a href="https://app.roll20.net/join/893156/i2ZADQ" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/join/893156/i2ZADQ</a> This is the link, its incredibly bare bones. If anyone needs help making characters, PM and arrange a time, and we'll meet up and I'll help ya out. We'll have a game up in two or three weeks.

Sigh, bummer. I can not do Saturdays. But ya will make some others very happy.

Shannon S. said: Sigh, bummer. I can not do Saturdays. But ya will make some others very happy. What days can you do?

Yeah, Saturdays are no good for me either. Perhaps Monday Evenings or Tuesdays evenings? I can do MST past 6 PM my time.

Any except the weekends. About anytime on your end is good for me though the week. Now if its late weekends I can do, as shown by me being here at 3 Am. But of a day/evening I am often not home.

I can get any night opened up. Shannon S. has stuck by me so far, and if he can't join, won't go either

Nah man, if you can make a day and I can not go ahead and have a good time. EP games are rare enough and its nice to see one get going, even if the day does not work for me personally.

I'd totally join if anyone's willing to have me. I can give my Skype info and whatnot if you need it.

I dunno man, I think we scared off James T

Sigh, Maybe he is just busy.....

I'm about. I just super busy Monday, and crashed really early. I was also getting set up for a new temp job.

I'm also gonna be super busy Wenseday too.

Tuesdays? Thursdays?

I can do Tuesdays.

So...should we start character generation, or...?

I would at least like to discuss concepts, and see what the team dynamic would be. I was thinking of playing an Octo-uplift criminal assassin/infiltration expert with mercurial leanings. Or, a fall evacuee soldier with edited memories of the Fall..

Its likely a better idea to wait for James T to confirm a day and time. He did provide a game link above so Char gen talk should liekly be done there and not here.

I am gonna suggest eveyone here join James's game so this thread does not get lost. If his times and such do not work with you( as it may not with me) you can always leave the game.

We have a whole round of deletion going on it seems.

Hello all. Please take this thread back on course and ignore the deleted posts, if this post continues to go off-topic it will be closed.

Fair enough. Ok lets seem we have a few players Penultimatum Myself Erick Z. esampson Jakeage! MonkOfLords Chris l. And one willing GM who's play time might not work for everyone James T. Did I miss anyone?

What the hell happened in here? Anyway yeah I think that's it, let's light this candle.
