Online Gametable EP Module Resources
Randy/Mike/Barrus/Jareth/Jeremiah, if you are reading this, go away. ... ok, I think we're alone now. So I've been co-running an EP campaign over the net. The rest of the guys are sitting on a couch around a big projection screen, and I'm coming in via webcam. We used google docs to run the game table for previous games, but with EP we transitioned to powerpoint, so I can get ahead on prep work, and we can really push the imagery. Anyway, I've ended up with some materials that are pretty solid, and that I'm pretty happy with, and thought that I would share the love. Some of the slides are campaign specific, such as the intro screen where we highlight each character to get the players to talk about what their character is like. You will probably need to replace them if you are moving to your own campaign. After play of a given module is finished we've also inserted a few slides of memorable quotes, to capture some of the fun that happened 'off the cuff' as part of active play. You'll want to pull those too. For the first module I don't have a raw template, just our finished one, with the notes about what happened as it happened. For the 2nd module and on I'll try to fork a pre-note archived version. The first module was homebrew. The PCs were called in to backtrack a stolen fork of a firewall sentinel. They explored an anarchist aerostat on Venus, got in a firefight with some thugs at a soul-trading server, escaped the habitat by skydiving, then tracked back the original darkcast of the stolen ego to a base on mercury. Exploring the mining base where the trackback led, they uncovered exsurgent former miners, and melted the base to slag, discovering that the base was apparently infected by an orbiting ship, the Chrysalis, currently on slow burn around the sun and bound for the outer system. We'll be intercepting the ship in a few in game months, so the story isn't yet resolved. Here's the link for the first module: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1F5uWGhL6ObkhG6X3f0GlPq1L7yPUESNX... The second module (mine) is based on Mind the WMD, which is included in the Quick Start Rules, which you can download here: http://robboyle.wordpress.com/eclipse-phase-pdfs/ I've made a few changes, which I could elaborate on upon request. I've also put in more than a few phase transitions as animations in the ppt, so be sure to view->present to get the full effect. Before Play Module Template: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1JwTgcCwfRUM4VFvSOUhbp3BqhtaER7Ih... After Play Module: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1EEELk3EkmnnFFd04lBTdXZy1ngJKPbdM... I'm planning on continuing to run EP modules till I run out, and working up some materials for them along the way. I'll try to update this thread as I push new stuff out. Feedback, comments and questions are much appreciated. Happy gaming.
