I call dibbs on playing Ultimate-tan! She's the strongest!

Oh, oh, or maybe Gatekeeper-tan, with her never-ending love for adventure! Together with Terragenesis-tan(who loves animals), her twin sister Pathfinder-tan, and their grouchy older sister Gonin-tan, they're always on the move!

You'd have a problem, though. TITAN-tan and the TI-tans would constantly get mixed up. But maybe that'd lead to wacky comedy!

The sad part is that you could easily run this, even in the EP system. It's possible to attach flight systems to morphs(magical girls have to fly), there are modifications to allow you to change appearance on the go(magical girls need transformation sequences) and in the goofy-ass future you can probably find some way to make a Plasma Cannon look like a wand or staff.

>>13954917

So, really, what's your beef with this idea? It isn't serious enough?

>>13954917

Transhumanity doesn't care about being serious.

I've played a moe-moe catgirl fury anarchist 'fixer', part-time ego-hunter. Serious business, nya.

>>13954927

It just feels like someone trying to jam their anime fetish into the Eclipse Phase setting. This is as stupid as that "Planescape Magical Girls" thing, which we thankfully haven't heard about for a while. The faggot who started that has stopped posting game summaries, game probably died once everyone realized how gay it was.

>>13954943
I've seen similar, though nothing that was flat-out magical girly.

>>13954943

Was she kawaii, uguuuu~?

the problem is that the magical girls theme doesn't jive with the horror theme of EP. it isn't really the same game any more when love always triumphs over evil.

>>13954964

Personally that's one of the reasons I love playing Synths in EP, because with the right mods you can fluff them as just about any sort of bizarre concept. Like a jet-powered mecha-wasp with a particle bolter for a stinger.

>>13954943
Die in a fire, please.

>>13954958
>Jam
>anime
>EP

I don't think you know what you are talking about.

EP isn't as Weeboo as Exalted, but it's up there.

>>13954971

I just realised it would be possible to run My Little Pony in EP as well.

(Reposted for right image!)

Just stat up an Equimorph.

>>13954976

EP isn't necessarily horror. Yes, it has a SAN-like mechanic in lucidity, but you could jam your heroes through a Pandora Gate and they could have space opera-like adventures exploring brave new worlds and contacting interesting new species.

Like Star Trek without the boring spaceships and, knowing the average /tg/ player, with all the alien boning.

But seriously, the horror isn't a necessary part. You can also play it as cyberpunky, or even heroic.

Shit, the entire game could even be set within a simulspace with infomorphs as actual magical girls.

>>13954996

EP isn't really anime. There's some anime(Ghost in the Shit and similar bad stuff) which tries to incorporate cyberpunky elements, but at its heart EP is a cyberpunk game with an interplanetary/interstellar scope that can be converted into just about any mood.

>>13955002

That'd be pretty simple. There's an extra limbs mod and I think either Sunwards or Gatecrashers has a morph that's basically centaur-shaped.

The players are exhumans who believe the pony shape to be the ultimate crux of perfection.

>>13955009

>>13954982

I tried.

Plasmaburst standard missiles just don't do enough damage.

>>13954958

Planescape Magical Girls is still around and actually pretty good. Just ask #suptg.

Try to rage while you do that, it makes PSMG more fun.

I don't get eclipse phase
who are you? what do you do?

>>13955035

>I haven't actually read the book this is the cover of.

>>13955037
Players surviving large explosions is HILARIOUS when the morphs involved are biomorphs.

>>13954982
I need to get this picture 'Shopped to put a knife in his back. then I can post it the next time someone comes in requesting help murdering his party members.

>>13955035

So what? BESM sells itself as being an "anime roleplaying game," but I've found it to work quite well for high-future sci-fi(because it lets people stat up all sorts of crazy gadgets and weapons instead of all having to choose from the same unimaginative list) or high-fantasy where statting up their own spells is, again, easier than everyone just picking off some dork's boring list of Fireball and Fireball MkII.

Just because the creators INTENDED it to be a horror game, doesn't mean that's all you can run with it. Especially not in a setting as expansive as EP.

>>13955043
It's not as simple as a lot of other games. You can be any of lots of different stuff, and do any of lots of different things.

This thread is hilarious in a stupidly meta way.

You know who you are, fuckers.

>>13955051

My 'mildly seared' kawaii catgirl (er, fury) bounty-hunter was not terribly amused, and tore the other person's spinal column out with her cyberclaws.

But no, that's not grimdark at all. No sir.

>>13955043
You are a person. You do things in a horrible transhuman dystopia where everything is controlled by corporations and several Skynets have gone online only to be possessed by Space Cthulhu and driven everyone from Earth where the corporations may or may not have set up the defense grid that keeps anything from getting on or off it.
Enjoy.

>>13955060
I never hear of any races or 'classes' or splats or anything associated with it.

>>13955043

Well, that's just it: You can be fucking anything.

You can be a group of infomorphs in robot bodies fighting for AI rights and independence.

You can be Jovian conservatives in unmodified human bodies fighting against the "frankenfreaks" with their mind editing, memory uploads and designer bodies.

You could be a group of opportunist Ultimate mercs, working for the highest bidder.

You could be Firewall or Ozma agents getting dumped into the worst hellholes in the galaxy, happy to escape with your minds intact as you race just ahead of the bow wave of TITAN or alien machinery trying to rip you apart and harvest your brains.

There's just no damn limit. It's like asking: "Who are the players? What do you do?" of D&D, BESM or Fading Suns. SO MANY OPTIONS.

>>13955092
Space Cthulhu?

>>13955094
There's two "splats." They're not what you come to expect of splats, though.

>>13955088
Indeed, especially since that doesn't really do anything to a person over the long term unless they're a biocon and don't have any backups.

Though in all seriousness, sounds like an okay concept for throwing in a bit of flavor to the typical egohunter.

The worst part would be that I would totally play this in a moment.

Though my current M&M character could be more or less be described as 'Paladin-tan'

What you are suggesting is a horrible abomination that is obviously infected with the exosurgent virus and as much as I hate you and wish you pain it could easily be done and i'm sure someone would enjoy it.

>>13955121

Indeed, we got along just fine afterwards, really.

>>13955106
An Extra Terrestrial Intelligence that may or may not be a Post-Type-III on the Kardeshev Scale. And if it is not malevolent, its designs are so alien as to be indecipherable and by unfortunate happenstance are indistinguishable from malevolent.

>>13955140
Captcha is great for plothooks some times.

>>13955155

Pretty sure ants would consider us to be fairly maleviolent.

>Really, captcha? Delta? DELTA IS NOT ON MY KEYBOARD.

>>13955140

My Octopus uplift player would slit your throat in a dark ally and subject your popped cortical stack to horrible bodily fluid rain for even suggesting that filthy humans have something to do with his mind.

>>13955094

It's a classless game and the closest thing it has to races is basically whether you're organic, partially organic, completely synthetic or an uploaded mind. All minds are human or human-designed.

The only real "splats" out so far are Sunward and Gatecrashing, which only really add more setting depth, free plot hooks for GM's and more morphs.

>>13955168
Now you're starting to get it.
Or you're not the same guy and putting it in simpler terms.

>>13955177

But they do. Uplifted octopi, avians and hominids may have their own minds, but they were basically uplifted to sentience according to the specifications that allow human minds to be sentient.

So Eclipse Phase is kind of a bare bones sci fi game/setting? Like, as someone (kinda) said before, DnD is for fantasy?

>>13955214

True but he would still do horrible things to you if you suggested it. As far as he is concerned octopusses uplifted themselves to help humanity in their time of need.

>>13955224
That's not what "bare bones" means. It implies simplicity. "generic" would be the correct way to say it, but that also contains false connotations.
But yes, that's about right.

>>13955224

No. It has a very definite, and somewhat dark, setting and fluff. BUT, it's such a large setting that there are just fucktons of things to do.

And it's not just DARK all over like WH40k or LIGHT all over like some comedy setting. In between stories of hypercorps memory-editing their employees(http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UUEXYBYC Sunwards), you've got stories of alien intelligences being huge trolls for laughs when they finally establish communications with humans(http://www.megaupload.com/?d=V1ZSBPI8 Gatecrashers, page 95, planet Giza, read it all).

Like, literally trolling humans by mailing them pictures of their alien genitalia.

I believe there's also a mention of a "scum barge" in there somewhere that's named "Failboat."

>>13955224

Sort of. There is a story and the 2 splats are 95% fluff, it is just that the story is open to go anywhere with. Kind of more like a shadowrun feel I find.

It was released under creative commons so grab a copy of the book
http://robboyle.wordpress.com/eclipse-phase-pdfs/

>>13955266
thanks
I saw it on sale at the bookstore for 50 bucks

>>13955257

Scum barges have the greatest names but my personal favorite anything in eclipse phase is the Meathab (Pg. 104 in the core book)

>>13955224

Not quite. EP has much more of a clearly defined setting than straight out-of-the-corebook D&D does. Think something like Shadowrun, only without the near-singular focus on "you play a criminal for hire." I mean, you COULD play a criminal for hire, sure...but you could just as easily be an activist, a salvage expert, a security consultant, a soldier, etc.

The book DOES give you a default hook if you don't have one of your own, which is that characters can all be members of a clandestine organization called Firewall, whose purpose is to prevent so-called "existential threats" to transhumanity at large. In the EP setting, something like 90% of the human race is dead or quarantined on a hostile, war-ravaged Earth, and even with cortical backups the state of the (trans)human race is pretty fucking precarious. Firewall works to basically keep people from doing stuff that imperils what remains, mostly focusing on the disastrous leftovers of the war that saw people kicked off of Earth by hostile, self-improving Skynet-esque A.I.s...things like self-replicating nano-disassembler weaponry, multi-vector viruses capable of rewriting peoples' minds and transforming them into alien monsters with abilities that, at times, seem to violate the laws of science as transhumanity understands them, memetic programs of overwhelming potency, etc.

Oh, and that Space Cthulhu mentioned earlier? Yeah, not a lot of people know about that, but Firewall does...and Firewall strongly suspects that Space Cthulhu is the REASON why the A.I.s on Earth went kill-crazy. Also, those crazy, possibly alien-corrupted A.I.s? They didn't stick around on Earth...they left. And they're still out there, somewhere.

>>13955457

Don't forget that they also seem to have left behind suspiciously useful, and error-prone, gateways called Pandora Gates, which lead to other Pandora Gates across the galaxy.

Extremely creepy things that have a tendency towards simply deleting people who walk through them, shifting them through time, spitting them out at the wrong location, rewiring their brains, giving them horrifying visions, etc.

You know, just like taking the bus!

>Eclipse Phase Magical Girls

>>13955501

I know, right? That's the worst part. It almost makes sense.

So what magical girl would YOU play, /tg/? =D

>>13955494

Or just creating people out of thin air, thats almost worse than disappearing some.

>>13955524
Gehenna, because volcanos.

>>13955494

Yeah, you're right. I just ran out of space to elaborate on that. In fact, the latest supplement, Gatecrashing, is all about the Pandora Gates and people who explore the exoplanets on the other side. So that's a whole potential campaign right there that doesn't involve Firewall or "crime for hire."

Sounds cool. Thanks for explaining it to me, guys who explained it to me.

>>13955524

Firewall-Tan

I am JUSTICE!

>>13955599

Ozma-tan is your often nemesis, occasional partner, as your fight the TITAN-tans!

>>13955682
>you are now seeing this as playful cartoon shorts at the end of every episode of the awesome EclipsePhase series.
>Firewall-tan, Ozma-tan and two or three of the more popular Ti-tans also make appearances as unlockable rewards in the EP:Online cross-platform system.

>>13955682

Ozma's not too bad but she's too stuffy. She need to ease up on the rules a bit. We are working for humanity here, not being the school council!

>>13955770

Hey, stop confusing me with Oversight-tan! The only rules I play by are making sure humanity stays in one piece! I mean, okay, SOMETIMES I get kind of fascinated by a piece of TITAN leftovers, b-but it's not like it happens every week! I don't have any nanotech in my lunchbox today!

>>13955803

No nanotech? Maybe Jovian-Tan will sit with us! Probebly not though.

>>13955835

HEY! Who wrote "Junta-tan" on my desk?! You freaky dorks are going to get it some day soon! You're just jealous because I've got the biggest pair of fleets around here despite all your efforts!

>>13955876

Not me Junt-I mean Jovia-tan. And anyway, everyone knows those things are old! You could actually compare if you were not so terrified of technology

*Waves robot arm threateningly*

Ooga Booga!

>>13955956
>>13955876
>>13955835

Kun-tan. Think about it.

I-I'm not afraid of any robot stuff! And I'm not going to compare fleets with you! You just want to get your gross, nanotech-covered hands all over them and feel them up.

...does anyone have a towel? I need a towel.

>>13955990

For the record, "Pleasure Pods" can actually shift gender pretty much at will. They're actually kind of useful infiltration tools under the right circumstances.

>>13955993

Bah, you know nanotech is great. You'll see. It feels great!

Unless we have another fall. But I'm not going to let that happen.

>>13956082

*adjusts glasses, looks down her nose at Firewall-tan*

You mean I won't let that happen. You and your anarchist buddies just want to let tech be free all over the place, we need a proper system in place to limit technology and its use.

For instance: Capitalism.

>>13956116

Well someone has her bodies in a knot. You are way too bossy. You want us all sitting there clapping rock together why you act like a queen. It's a silly plan and you are a silly girl.

Bleah! *Pulls a face*

HELLO DEAR HUMANS. WE'RE HERE TO COLLECT YOUR BRAINS. AGAIN.

HA HA, JUST JOKING.

INSTEAD WE BUILT YOU THESE GATES LEADING YOU TO A THOUSAND WORLDS, EACH WITH SOME SUBTLE WAY FOR YOU TO GET YOURSELVES KILLED.

HAVE FUN, WE KNOW SOME OF YOU ARE GOING TO BE STUPID ENOUGH TO PLAY AROUND WITH THEM.

>>13956406

Well essentially they believe that the strong survive, the weak die, make an effort to better yourself and don't become complacent or hedonistic.

A lot of them are right cocks, obviously, as their "darwinistic" attitude turns them into something out of Rand's wettest ubermensch fantasies. The rest of them are just heavily attracted to challenges and danger because they figure it's the best way to test and improve themselves.

>>13956414

Ozma-Tan! I found something you might like!

>>13956453

TITAN-taaaaaaaaan! <3 Wait for me, I'll explore your gates~

I mean, for humanity. Can't have anyone fiddling around with them who isn't qualified, like me.

Everyone always forgets about me! I'm important, too!

I fight for AGI and Uplift rights! I'm like Martin Luther King, 'cept with tentacles and occasionally made out of steel.

>>13956453

Nuh-uh! Not if we beat her to it!

C'mon, girls! Gate-tan, you bring the tools! Gonin-tan, you bring the weapons! Terra-tan, you bring along your kit for studying the animals! And I, Pathfinder-tan, will lead the expedition!

>>13956586

What's the matter? Too awesome for you?

>>13956562

Hi Mercurial-tan! I last saw you dragging off Jovian-tan! She didn't look happy. How are you? You two have fun?

>>13956681

D-don't be stupid! It's not like I like her or anything! She's gross and she hates uplifts and AGI's! I just took her off to give her a proper talking to, I'm not afraid of her huge fleets.

Wow... I seriously didn't think there were people like you. I only heard about stuff like this through stories and thought them mere hyperbole, but you've proven it right. I sincerely have nothing against your own rules, settings, etc... but don't bring it to /tg/, it'll just provoke too much sadness and rage. But that's why you posted here in the first place. You trolls.

>>13956722

Ok, you two have fun! And be careful you don't cause another fall, that would be bad.

>>13956768

Eh, it's mainly just people being over the top with anime tropes for shits and giggles. Setting politics gets rather funny brought to this sort of situation.

>>13956768

Look, 90% of this stuff is jokes. The anime tropes we bring in are just to make things silly, PSMG, for instance, isn't just a never-ending cavalcade of panty shots.

It's just a comedic lens to view Planescape through. A caricature, if you will, of the factions, planes and important NPC's.

>>13956768

The funny part is that because you're anonymous, posing about how you're totally not gay because you have preconceived wrong opinions is pointless.

>>13956856

Dude, of course he's not gay. What could be more not-gay than being afraid of girls? I mean, hell, all the SUPER STRAIGHT guys I know are afraid of girls and only hang out with dudes and like to talk about how they're roleplaying burly, sweaty, muscular me- wait, hang on a moment now....

>>13956974

That's actually interesting, there's always "OMG WHAT FAGGOTS"-accusations slung around whenever anyone plays a girl, or a group plays a party of girls.

But no one ever comments on the sausage fest that the average party of adventurers is. Five men who rarely ever even talk to women except when rescuing a princess or murdering an evil priestess.

So does anyone actually like the original idea?

>>13957723

Quite a bit. I'd play the crap out of it.

>Acquire awesome rpg. Make faggot thread.

>>13957762

>acquire awesome idea. cry tears of gay.

I mean really, kid.

>>13957744

But what -tan would you play?

>>13957807

I was the guy who said Firewall-tan earlier.

>>13955257
>alien intelligences being huge trolls for laughs when they finally establish communications with humans

>>13957867

>>13957841

Oh great, you're going to be the protagonist who beats up the rest of us to make friends with us. ; _ ;

>>13957887

I need a plasma cannon for 'Befriending'

>>13957890

Plasma Cannon = Raising/Raging Heart?

We have a player in the EP game I run who plays "Marixia Kun," an Ultimate mercenary woman who loves big guns.

Basically a cheap Touhou reference. Marixia/Marisa, Plasma Cannon/Master Spark.

>>13957898

More or less. It seemed appropriate. And I like excessive firepower.

>>13957908

What would be the appropriate PROTAGONIST MORPH, though?

>>13957933

Well, clearly humanoid. Maybe a very human looking synthetic?

>>13957940

Depends on what origin we want, I suppose. If she's FATED TO SUCCEED, then obviously a Futura, Steeler or Exalt. If she's completely average but-bucking-the-odds, then a Remade, Synth or Splicer, if she's a down-on-her-luck indenture or something, a Flat or a Case.

>>13957957

Any of those could work, though I would lean away from 'poor indentured'. Seems like a charcter with a little more of a big view.

>>13958015

Well, you never know. Maybe she's a poor, unfortunate flat who finds a plasma cannon with an AGI in it some day.

She accepts it as her muse, and she transforms into a beautiful, shining Steeler when she undergoes her MAGICAL GIRL transformation.

>>13958039

Heh. 'Magical, Lyrical, Kill them all!'

>>13958065

See? My idea is brilliant.

Along the way she meets Oversight-tan, who she at first clashes with, but then they find a common enemy in Ozma-tan who does horrible things while claiming that it's necessary for keeping TITAN-tan at bay!

Later they're joined by Argonaut-tan and Mercurial-tan after saving them from Ozma-tan!

Bad news, however, Ozma-tan's teamed up with Factor-tan!

How will Firewall-tan and her friends ever get out of THIS one? And what if Ozma-tan really is telling the truth about TITAN-tan's return!? And will Jovia-tan ever manage to admit that she really kind of likes Mercurial-tan?!

Stay tuned!

>>13958213

...I would totally watch that.

Firewall, Oversight and Mercurial would for a great trio. Very Kirk, Spock and Bones. The Brains, the Heart and the leader that's a balance of the two.

>>13958227

And Argonaut-tan's the stay-at-home girl who knows SOME magic, but usually just support stuff, and helps them out when they're in need of info.

Jovia-tan would be the super-tsundere one.

Ozma-tan would be END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS, while Factor-tan would be the creepy, slightly crazy one, that no one's quite sure what to make of, and who might be the bad guy behind it all.

And of course, to make it a proper Magical Girl series, TITAN-tan has to turn out to just somehow be misunderstood, and after they finally defeat her they somehow befriend her.

>>13958238

She just took all those uploads because she was lonely. She didn't know it would hurt people.

I can see Jovia being a combination of a cheating bastard and determinator in fight scenes. She lacks the nanotech and synthetic abilities of the others but DAMMIT, she's not going to loose to thoe buggers, she's got her pride as a human.

>>13958263

Maybe she's got a bunch of drones or something, the Jovian "fleets." (though so far in the thread her "fleets" seem to have been a stand-in for her tits so she's probably also stacked).

Pathfinder, Gonin, Terragenesis and Gatekeeper as four sisters who're always out exploring. No huge powers on their own, but when they combine forces they can be surprisingly powerful. Most of the time they're just comedy relief, however.

Morningstar-tan and Consortium-tan as two warring sisters who're one-off enemies in one of the episodes.

>>13956365
Its the scum enforcer example character from the core rule book. Delicious delicious scum fury morph

>>13958277

That would be pretty damn cool. We are putting way too much thought into this.

But it's fun.

>>13958277

Skum-tan would be the violent one, always thinking with her gun and gut rather than her head and wanting something to beat up or munch on. Rather poor at school, probebly hates the skirt her outfit has.

>>13958297

Punky girl with little in the way of Magical Girl powers, instead she's largely moral backup for Firewall-tan since they're from similar low-social-status backgrounds.

"What the hell are you bawling about? You've got all the power from Raising Heart! Go kick their asses! If you can't do it, no one can!"

>>13958304

This has turned into Nanoha AF10, hasn't it?

This is not a bad thing.

>bumping the most EP related thread

And while we are here folks, i will fire off the question for a different timezone audience.

Eclipse Phase Character Creation.
Anyone seen a tool that is more like getting involved in a game and less like doing work in a spreadsheet?

Interesting character generation houserules?

>>13959966

That's one thing I will say in EP's defense, I've yet to find a need to houserule anything about chargen. Though there are a couple of odd things.

CP and credit costs are kinda off for some morphs, and it's not even a reliable offness. Sometimes they're cheaper in CP, sometimes they're more expensive in CP(I'm using the base, un-errata'd .PDF, though we do say sniper rifles cannot full auto... is this fixed in the errata'd version?).

Also, how do you people who play EP handle buying stuff with rep? I find that the basic version of it is kind of bad, it's basically like gambling on getting stuff free, with the problem that if you have enough rep, you're not really risking anything.

>>13961033

Most of the time you're not really supposed to get it for free.

You could have the base success of the Rep roll be to get it at a discount and the PC can burn reputation to get it for an even bigger discount/for free.

>>13961033
really i am just looking for a more user-friendly way to put together a character. the various spreadsheet tools and the like make me feel like i need my own Muse just to get started.

been grinding mentally on the idea of skill-packs or easy to customize generics, just trying to find a middle ground between "here is your premade, don't touch anything" and "here, read this book and come back in a month with a character"

>>13963878

I think skill packs might be a good idea. Help people make characters of certain professions that are useful, but with some freedom to customize left over.

I forget; doesn't EP has one type of uber battle body that is always female? I remember finding it amusing.

>>13964239

Those are furies, the OP pic is one.

I think you can get a male fury, it's just super rare because they tend to be too aggressive to be useful.

>>13964537

Not very familiar with EP; does that mean only female PCs can play them then?

>>13964668

>>13964668
Given the sheer futureness of EP and their thoughts on gender-identity and ability to sculpt genetics, how would aggression from gender work?
I mean, so much of the basis of the world is that we've perfected gene-therapies (Except when we haven't, oops. Hope you enjoy your crippling addiction to orange soda or have enough money to make the body again.)

This is my Eclipse Phase magical girl.

>>13964759
something about the construction of the fury tends towards permanent roid rage in males, or something..

..

course, odds are that some of the game designers just had a thing for musclegirls.. soo.. yeah.

>>13964759

>crippling addiction to orange soda
awesome.
