Hi there! Had my first session of EP this weekend after toying around with the idea of starting a little one-shot for my group for half a year or so. Biggest obstacle was creating characters, as my players had no knowledge of the rules and a very limited idea of the background. Might have to do with the fact that we usually stick to TDE and try out very few other systems. So I pumped out about a good dozen characters, mostly civilians, a few fighters/soldiers and a few of the "freaky" characters possible in EP. Might have gone a bit overboard with preparations and translating their gear and skills, but it made explaining the rules and characters easier for my guys. None of the characters had any idea of the Fall as of yet, their only connection was the escape shuttle they were in, stored asleep in cryo pods. Waking up, they found themselves in the small medbay of a independent salvage ship that sort of stumbled upon their shuttle, stuck in near Earth orbit for far too long to be possible. Of course, after a few shocking discoveries (Gorillas and zero-g don't mix well, "What does this 10 AF on my display mean, anyway?"), giving the characters/players a broad overview of their situation and leaving them to settle in their characters...things started to go wrong. And a couple of malfunctions and explosions later, the characters found themselves back on their old shuttle trying to recover one of the remaining generators for life support...here I must confess, I very muchly ripped of Dead Space for most of the rest of the session. Including space zombies (rest of the cryo pods). Anyway, long story short, the one-shot went fine and my players had a blast (...and most of them survived). My only problem is that now I'm sorta stuck with too much motivation for continuing the whole thing and only a very loose idea of how to do it. Probably gonna play another 2-3 sessions and after that my players can decide if they want to continue with the pre-made characters or make their own. So, anybody here ever used Fresh Kills (Which is going to be the next stop for now...)? Next session will be less horror and more culture shock (Including me explaining how reputation works), I guess.
