Hello everyone.
Well I might need a hand with a couple of things I've written.
The first one.
I got what's basically a remix of the QSR that I'm calling my Eclipse Phase Player's Primer. Basically it's what you need to get in character for people who don't know what's going on. There's no rules, just basically EP concepts to get the juices flowing for character creation. In essence the text is a quick and dirty version of what's going on in EP universe in a way that makes it more accessible who haven't had much experience with post singularity type fiction.
I have a shortend version of what Transhumanism is about followed by hypercorps and political factions, with examples. I have a bit out the mesh and how wired everything is. I also took the Lexicon out of the QSR for some of the most used words so that newcomers aren't too lost. An explanation of the old/transitive/new economies. The EP timeline so that they can understand what's come before and finally an abridged version of the solar system so that they can get a quick idea of the essence of each place.
The second one.
One of the really fun parts of creating a new character is visualizing how cool your character is for that little movie that you make up in your head when dreaming it up. That's where my Morph Recognition manual comes in. It's really easy: a compilation of what the morphs look like using artwork from Eclipse Phase, Sunward and who knows, maybe even other Creative Commons artwork sources (could be a fun net hunt)! The artwork has a the stats for the morph under it. I'm wishy washy about using the description text. On one hand a picture is worth a thousand words but the descriptions are good and have unique information, on the other hand the longer the description the smaller the image...
So what I need from you guys:
I need to know are you interested by these two projects? I made them for my players for my upcoming campaign. So they are done, just sitting here on my :/C drive.
Critiques: once it's out in the open tell me if anything need changing, constructive criticism is welcomed with open arms. (Note: "This sucks Neo-octupus gonads!" is not constructive :D)
Layout: There's only so much I can do with Word...:P. Anyone that could make this look like something that belongs in the EP universe would be awesome!
Pictures: For the Recognition Manual I took some pictures from here and carved some from the PDF and the QSR. Some of the pictures I carved look like they were hacked out by an amateur because they *ARE* carved out by an amateur, namely me. I have neither the software or the knowledge to take the pics and clean them. So if anyone with knowledge could clean up the pictures (take the text out from around the Venusian Glider, the Salamander and the Lunar Flier for example.) Even more helpful would be if our good friends from Transhuman could release the raw artwork for use. After all the blog is where where I got my flexbot from and it looks great!
Hosting: Again, I've never released anything like this into the wild (I usually send to an editor and it becomes their problem), so anyone that could either tell me of a nice stable host to put the finished product on or even better, some free space on a server somewhere.
Creative Commons License: I realize that it's pretty easy to use but if someone could take a second look at my creative commons legalese and make sure I don't insult anyone that would be awesome. And if I do inadvertently please forgive me in advance my heart is in the right place.
Oh and one last thing: Where should I put the document? Just send it to interested parties? As I said earlier I'm used to: send manuscript and it gets automagically turned into awesome layout and sent to the printer after galley proofs.
Thanks in advance!
Welcome! These forums will be deactivated by the end of this year. The conversation continues in a new morph over on Discord! Please join us there for a more active conversation and the occasional opportunity to ask developers questions directly! Go to the PS+ Discord Server.
