Welcome folks, to Identity Crisis.
This is a campaign that some of you may have also seen over on rpg.net. I know a lot of Eclispe Phase fans probably don't hang out there so I thought I'd cross post the game here.
The game is run by me with a single player, (rpg.net's) NateD. This is our first go dipping our toes into the vast water that is Eclipse Phase and our familiarity with the system and the setting has grown since we began. The game has now run for over 30 sessions and is probably nearing the half way mark for the planned campaign.
The primary theme for this campaign is exploration of identity - How important is who you are when that's all you have? When who you are can be so easily changed or removed? When vast chunks of your life can be gone in an instant, or when what you remember with crystal clarity about events is completely fictitious and has been given to you by others who may or may not have good intentions and your interests at heart.
I didn't tell NateD any of that, and still he gave me the perfect candidate to throw into the deep end of this game.
Because of the text medium the tense and pronouns of the game sometimes shift - I try to catch them when I'm cleaning the logs up for the AP threads but apologies if they slip through.
I hope you enjoy it as much as we have. Comments are always welcome.
--- EDIT - UPDATE ---
For those of you who may have found this thread recently, I've decided that it is easier on everyone (especially me) to simply post a link to the pdf of the compiled game. (It's nicer to read with formatting, as well.)
The pdf is up to the end of Chapter 4 of the campaign, about 30 sessions in. The link is https://www.dropbox.com/s/q46dx5hqxkf7z7k/Identity%20Crisis%20-%20Compil... I hope you enjoy it.
I'll update this thread when the pdf is updated. Thanks.

Hey folks. I don't know if
Hey folks. I don't know if anyone has been reading this. I apologise for the delay in posting the next parts, but I thought it would be easier for everyone (especially me) if I just posted a link to the pdf of the compiled game. (I think it's nicer to read with formatting, as well.)
The pdf is up to the end of Chapter 4 of the campaign, about 30 sessions in. The link is https://www.dropbox.com/s/q46dx5hqxkf7z7k/Identity%20Crisis%20-%20Compil... I hope you enjoy it.
I'll update this thread when the pdf is updated. Thanks.

The PDF version is
The PDF version is significantly easier to follow, so thanks for that. I like the layout. Very reminiscent of the stories from the books.
But damn this is long....

Thanks Decivre.
Thanks Decivre.
Yes, it is a long read. The campaign has been going for just over two years with sessions (generally) every two weeks. We're probably about half way through the campaign arc.
I've tried to break down the individual stories into digestible chapters, but if you (or anyone else) has suggestions to make the long read easier, please let me know.
