Living campaign?
Hi. Just purchased the core rules this past weekend and have been absorbing the text as fast as my eyes will let me. I was curious whether there are any plans for a living campaign, as I think the material lends itself very strongly to this end. Firewall as an organization makes a great driving force for the campaign and accounts for sitting down with different characters at the start of each mission. Plus, you can have members of different factions vying against one another while still trying to accomplish their common goals. Most of my RPG play is done at gamedays, where organized campaigns are the norm, so an Eclipse Phase campaign would be a welcome addition. Any thoughts?

*bump* Is my interest in this an isolated occurrence? Or did I pick the wrong forum to bring it up?

Re: Living campaign?
root@Living campaign [hr] I don't think your interest in this is unique, I just think we don't have the community support to pull it off (yet). Our In Character forum is sparse, and no one has run a campaign there yet. I understand there are games being played on Dumpshock and rpg.net, but I have no idea how dense that population is. We are also working on a fanzine for Eclipse Phase over at this address, which may be a fantastic medium to publish modules and create that "living" feel. That's the best we have right now, but the wicked cool thing about Creative Commons licensing is that you don't have to wait for the community to get there. Hop on, write it up, publish it, get rep for it. [EDIT] yea, you should probably shift this thread to the Homebrew section. You can do that from the Edit tab that you have access to at the top of the screen as the original poster.

Re: Living campaign?
root, clem is talking about a PS+ sponsored living campaign. Which isn't something we have in the cards, yet -- it's a lot of work to manage and we aren't of a size where it can be done properly. Yet.

Re: Living campaign?
I kinda prefer it the way it is. Everyone has their own view of what the game canon is, and it lets people try out different ideas. Having a living campaign like what they do in the D&D days of old, does lock down the setting a bit and it does discourage some players (a few, many, who knows) from "breaking" established canon.
