Just thought I would give an update on how Eclipse Phase at SCARAB turned out. SCARAB went magnificently. This year was SCARAB's first but the turnout was way beyond expectations. We had people travel from all over the region to show up, and the convention area was packed. Friday and Saturday night I looked around and saw people crowded around nearly every table playing games. Due to some scheduling hiccups I ended up running Eclipse Phase out of my proper times, but I still had a good group. My players basically demanded I run all three of my adventures for them so they could get the entire plot. One of my players was famous fantasy illustrator Mark Poole (if you are into World of Warcraft or old school Magic: the Gathering, you have probably seen some of his art.) Whereas you can measure player bodycounts in D&D or Shadowrun in the couple of dozens on a good day, my players were proud of the fact that they managed to get a bodycount of around 15,000 (a Scum Barge with an out-of-control and active Exsurgent infection on board is a nasty, nasty thing.) Of course ICly the players were fairly tormented by what they were forced to do, more so by the fact that they egocasted backups off the ship prior to blowing it up because they knew they weren't going to make it off alive. When reinstated they KNEW they had done it, but not how. One of my players compared it to blacking out from an alcohol binge and then killing somebody with your car. You knew that you were responsible but not the specifics. All you had was guilt to carry around. In all the party was wiped out twice but in the end they succeeded in their mission, and backups made before the final mission were reinstated and told to go on home. One of my players compared it to an "awesome, bad-assed movie [he] got to play in," that he was going to tell all of his friends about. I caught the eye of some non-players, who (along with my group) were given PDFs of the core rules so they could spread the word after reading the game on their own. Some vendors who were at the convention saw the enthusiasm surrounding the game and expressed an interest in carrying Eclipse Phase products in their stores. I fully plan on running at SCARAB again next year since I felt the turnout and interest was great. I'm proud to be carrying the Eclipse Phase torch, and plan to do so well into the future.
