Eclipse Phase

Description

Eclipse Phase is a 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 thehellish 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.... ECLIPSE PHASE: THE SYSTEM Eclipse Phase uses a d100/percentile system, with some twists. It s fast and simple; streamlined so players can dive into the world and action without being burdened by complex rules. Characters are skill-based, with no classes, so players can customize their team roles and specialize in fields of their choosing. A focused set of psi rules enables some characters to enhance their cognitive abilities.
