brainstorming & development / Eclipse Phase World
« on: July 30, 2013, 05:06:39 PM »
For those who don't know, Eclipse Phase http://eclipsephase.com/ is a hard scifi game of transhumanism, conspiracy, and horror. The Singularity has occurred and went horribly wrong. The survivors have put the pieces back together in very different ways. Humanity has transcended its old limits, but faces existential threats from within and without.
I've hacked together a first draft of basic moves and the GM-facing side of the game.
My friend had an idea about dividing Ego and Morph into two separate Playbook lists that stack. I don't have any character generation rules yet, or I'd post the whole thing here for feedback.
Instead, I want to ask you three questions: what do you think the core of an Eclipse Phase experience is? I've got my ideas, but I want to hear yours.
What is the biggest difference between the actions an Eclipse Phase character undertakes and those of an Apocalypse World character?
And lastly: what is a better title than "Eclipse Phase World" for getting across what this hack is trying to be? (That is, a hack preserving the feel and core experience of Eclipse Phase in a much slimmer package.) I really hate the name Eclipse Phase World.
