Eclipse Phase: The Roleplaying Game of Transhuman Conspiracy and Horror

Eclipse Phase 1st Edition

by Rob Boyle (Developer), Lars Blumenstein, Brian Cross

Eclipse Phase is the post-apocalyptic game of conspiracy and horror. Humanity is enhanced and improved, but also battered and bitterly divided. Technology allows the re-shaping of bodies and minds, but also creates opportunities for oppression and puts the capability for mass destruction in the hands of everyone. And other threats lurk in the devastated habitats of the Fall, dangers both familiar and alien. In this harsh setting, the players participate in a cross-faction conspiracy called Firewall that seeks to protect transhumanity from threats both internal and external. Along the way, they may find themselves hunting for prized technology in a gutted habitat falling from orbit, risking the hellish landscapes of a ruined earth, or following the trail of a terrorist through militarized stations and isolationist habitats. Players may even find themselves stepping through a Pandora Gate, a wormhole to distant stars and the alien secrets beyond.

Reviews

[Marcin Roszkowski]

Majstersztyk w dziedzinie tworzenia gier. Książka powinna być modelem tego, jak je pisać, wydawać i promować. Wszystko w niej nomen omen, współgra: język, koncepcje, ilustracje, sposób dystrybucji. Co najbardziej mnie ujęło, to żelazna konsekwencja. Jeśli wprowadzany jest jakiś pomysł, to przedstawiane są też jego skutki, nie istnieje w próżni.

Dla graczy i czytaczy science-fiction to pozycja obowiązkowa.
