Recommended "pre Firewall" published adventures?
Hi All, Just finished EP Core, wanted to line up a series of adventures that I could run for players that are NOT aware of Firewall, and the larger issues out there in the EP 'verse. Anyone got recommendations for published adventures that don't dive straight into the big stuff? I was thinking of slowly making the PC's aware of these meta-plot entities and events, as they get caught up in something larger than normal. Thanks!

Obviously from the lack of responses not so much. The problem is that most published adventures are going to dive right into the meat of things. Especially so that so few are published. I had the same problem, and one way I found to generate plot ideas was to cannibalize old Shadowrun adventures (before they all went meta-plot heavy). There are some good corp vs corp adventures back there that can be adapted to Eclipse Phase without too much trouble...

Continuity is specifically designed for a pre-Firewall introduction.

Thanks, Mandella. Good idea. Kassil - Continuity is probably "too far" already, and introduces the PCs to horror elements. I've just started reading Sunward, I like the idea of a campaign set on Quartet habitats (near Caldwell), in the Vulcanoids. Some kind of corporate takeover campaign would be cool.

Mining other scenarios
Bump in the Night can be a good non-Firewall scenario. You could also take a look at some of the stuff written for Gurps: Transhuman Space or even some of the old Classic Traveller stuff. Orbital Decay for Transhuman Space is a good one or Death Station (I think it was called) from Classic Traveller - both set on space stations.

I've just finished running a modified form of the Glory adventure somewhat along the lines of this. Mainly because this was our first foray into the system. I effectively had the players attend a meeting hosted by Prof Ming (the Firewall agent who sends the players out to investigate Tara Yu), where he was attacked by a group of anarchists. This got the players together, and gave Prof Ming confidence to get in touch with them for the proper job. Glory works well as an introduction to the legacy of the TITANs and the exsurgent virus. The players were then inducted into Firewall after returning from the mission.
