eCOPse phase: murder at Maddock’s station.

In this new mini campaign/series of one shots, Kim and Will play as Martian rangers, special law enforcement officers that patrol the Martian outback.
This started because we wanted to see how having only 2 players would effect the storytelling dynamic in role playing. Also, any excuse to run more Eclipse Phase.

In this, our first scenario, our rangers, 265balbis77 (Kim) and 265pentagon12 (Wilfred), are given an easy assignment after returning to the job following a leave of absence (for stress reasons). They are sent to provide a little extra security at the week-long founding day festival in Maddock’s station, an event that draws tourists from all over Mars and even offworld. Sadly things get a little complicated for our rangers when someone murders a visitor.

I hope you enjoy this Eclipse Phase game, we had fun playing it. Also, please like, comment, reblog, and especially share our podcasts.

Farewell from the past, I’m Raymond.

The Crusading Couch episode 3: letting go.

In this episode, we take a crack at the topic of ending stories, campaigns, and  letting go of your characters; both in death and retirement. We didn’t realise how hard this topic would be to talk about until we started recording, but hopefully you find it interesting and entertaining.

Eclipse Phase: better luck next time.

in this one shot eclipse phase game Kim, Vorn, and new player James, have to find out what happened to a missing Firewall sentinel. along the way they antagonist an Ultimate, piss off a scum swarm, and have to confront a group of Aztec cultist.

i was inspired to make this game after watching a few music videos that featured gifs and loops that would deteriate and become glitched as the song progressed.

Eclipse Phase: when one door closes, another opens.

the silhouette of the station from “when one door closes…”

Our PC are one of Pathfinder corps first-in teams. They are sent through the martian pandora gate first whenever Pathfinder discovers worlds they think will be useful. They thought they were going to a barren rock. They thought they’d just be looking at old ruins. They thought they’d be alone. They thought wrong.

Eclipse Phase is a trans-humanist conspiracy horror RPG. The setting has uplift animals, rogue AI, good guy AI and, most interestingly, interchangeable bodies.

I hope you enjoy this AP. Farewell from the past, I’m Raymond.
