Actually, Mage can give you a good starting point on how to slowly introduce them into the setting, because it is contemporary (set in the modern day). I would recommend one of these regions of the setting to help start you off. [list][*]Bioconservative habitats are oftentimes throwbacks to times long past, having a bizarre mish-mash of new and old technologies. Expect to see new weapons and vehicles, but natural humans and little to no physical modification. Robots will have a part in society, but be largely servile, while uplifts and AGI will be illegal at best, hunted at worst. You can find these habitats in a number of places, but the most prominent group of habitats are the Jovian Republic, situated around Jupiter. [*]The Lunar-Lagrange Alliance largely consists of people stuck in a nostalgic loop, hoping to return to the Earth they lost. As such, many habitats that declare themselves a part of this faction will have a very retro vibe to them. New technologies will still exist, but people will try to cling to old culture and society. You'll find these habitats situated around the Earth and moon. [*]Isolate colonies are a wonderful thing for GMs. You can basically craft an isolate colony into whatever your heart desires, without any regard to the effects it will have on outside cultures... because isolate colonies don't interact with any other cultures. As such, you can pretty much design anything... a buddhist temple space station, a tribe of space-faring catgirls, and of course... an isolate hab designed to mimic early 21st century life. Anything is possible. [*]Moreso than the last example, simulspaces are virtual realities which can be anything you desire. Think Matrix, but beyond that. You could even start your players off in a D&D-esque fantasy world, then end the scenario with them logging off from a simulspace MMO and going onto their daily lives in the modern Eclipse Phase world. Even more interesting, you could actually go the Matrix route, and have your players portray people who are trapped in a simulspace based on the modern day (maybe even with a fantasy bend). Escape is their first mission, after which you can ease them into the setting. Ooh, here's an interesting idea... why not start your players off portraying their characters in one of your fantasy campaigns, only to be logged out of simulspace? Could be fun.[/list] I hope these help.
