I remember my first character got killed by the item my Demon of Desire brought me and one of the other players had a lepper (beggar) with one leg [no arms]and a starting head-butt of 60%. In one of the included adventures there is an ambush and they can really kick your ass. I think one character survived by fleeing onely to die in the desert(so we could all re-roll and start over) Eponymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11995993219753602719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181441446306470328.post-43500237282514980802013-04-15T19:18:56.139-07:002013-04-15T19:18:56.139-07:00There's also the Stormbringer effect, evidence...There's also the Stormbringer effect, evidenced by TPKs suffered by heavily armed parties trying to rob apothecaries or warriors cowering meekly behind demon-armored wizards...Tedankhamenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00181643018957592969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181441446306470328.post-50159442422242441992013-02-15T18:16:45.749-08:002013-02-15T18:16:45.749-08:00Dude, I am so ready for this...

Prometheus movie got me thinking on transhuman type of narrative also. I am myself an old "retired" RPG narrator/dungeon master who always wanted to give a more mature approach to my games. <br /><br />Favourited!

However like you I'm agog as the need to "compute" a character using the spreed sheet. <br /><br />Certainly my love of the old school approach is definitely derived from the absence of advantage/Disadvantage systems and other guff. <br /><br />However I'm keen on Eclipse Phase mostly because I read so much tans-lit sci fi. I'll keep you appraised on how it pans out. Its not a certainty yet - I need to check out 2300Ad and River of Heaven. In the mean time It will be OD&D stuff I think or some playtests of some other material.Eponymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11995993219753602719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181441446306470328.post-17628984302438747202012-01-20T08:16:06.045-08:002012-01-20T08:16:06.045-08:00I'd be interested to hear how it goes.

The game itself is equally amazing:<br /><br /> * the background material is in-depth and cohesive, yet with plenty of room for sandboxing<br /> * all of the new vistas the various tech opens up are mind-blowing (e.g. less chance of 'final death' = more spectacular action, 'resleeving' = lots of flexible character options, 'space' without the need for a lot of ship combat rules, etc.)<br /> * Cyberpunk ethos + Transhuman tech<br /> * Hard Sci-fi<br /><br />I agree character development seems more complex than it needs to be, however, the devs have mentioned a "player's handbook" to simplify things and give some other options. Also, there's several spreadsheets that help, but I think a game should never be so complex building a character by hand is impossible. (As my main issue is that the needed material is spread all over later chapters of the book, it's difficult, so I'm planning to scrape everything needed and see if it can be formatted into a useable "mini-handbook".)<br /><br />Enjoy and have fun!Big_Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05543412177417039482noreply@blogger.com
