>>50899501
The center of the labyrinth is filled with nothing.

Once you get in, you can't get out. It's a bend in spacetime. That's why it's in a labyrinth. The aliens found or created this anomaly in spacetime and build a labyrinth around it to keep anyone from falling into it.

Who knows that kind of things have fallen in that hole before you did? Who knows what they are... who knows how hungry they are...

What are some ways to introduce noobs to the system? I think I might have a potential group and after I go through their pfg game I may try to bring up EP and entice them into playing.

Obviously giving them the main book and letting them go is the way to do it but obviously there is a lot of lore to understand before the majority of the setting begins to make sense.

If a party of heavily armed mercs/player characters get in a large shootout in the slummier bits of extropia what sorts of organized forces should they expect to face? Or will they only really encounter armed individuals or cooperating handfuls of enemies, because nobody can afford security contracts? One of my players has argued for the latter option being the predominant response, unless they accidentally endanger someone that matters.

>>50906302

I mean, Extropia has a pretty decent population. That said, if you're in a shitty neighborhood, then yes, obviously the people there aren't rolling in dough. Militia/posse, self-defense and mutual aid contracts are probably the most common.

However it's not only important people they might endanger, but property - which is highly valued by extropian ideals. If you damage actual structures/property people own, expect response from drones, maybe dedicated security guards. If anything you endanger might resemble hab infrastructure, Medusan Shield riot squads will start pouring in to break shit up before somebody breaks something important.

Kitted out like you'd expect for a team of sentinels given wide access to blueprints and materials for a week or two. It was mostly a theoretical matter, but if I tell them it will mostly be rabble my player might try to carve out a domain in the extropian slums. I imagine he'd stop short of a murder frisbee squad, but it would be something like a fork army of guard synths with partical beams or similar. He was tossing around the idea of going in with an entroptic banner declaring he would cease and desist hostilities against anyone that signed his protection contract and declared him boss.

>>50905550
The good old boys at OZMA vs which Firewall freaks?

>>50914115

Yeah, pretty sure extropia doesn't allow you to "carve out". Well, okay, in the REAL shitty areas, where you go into the old mining tunnels and are off the grid you might - but then your free market competition is other criminal shitbags.

But your domain can't be held by force. You have to pay Extropy Now at minimum to utilize hab space and resources, not accounting for any other services, subcontractors and the like who might own rights before you. Taking shit by Force will mean people start shitposting about you on @-list until either you get vigilanted, or as noted Medusa just shows up and is like "You have 60 seconds to comply". Extropia has very carefully engineered it's society and will resist the idea that some guy with more gun can come along and take over - it will be a social anathema to most residents.

Remember that most AGI are constructed for a purpose. Why were you made? Who made you?

If you were originally a soul-sorter for Nine Lives, and are good-ish because you are rebelling against them by stealing all the forks they napped that you can, you are going to be good-ish in a fantastically different way than if you are a traffic optimization AGI that got obsoleted, but released after being found to be alive.

Do people in still celebrate the new year?

>>50963837

Probably? Ish. Depends on what you mean by "celebrate" and "the new year".

LLA probably does, they're on the same orbit as Earth - so same year period. I assume for purposes of scale, a lot of people still use Earth as a standard year, but technically everyone has their OWN calendar year based on orbital period they have or the host body has. So Martian New Year is completely different from Venus New Year from Saturnian New Year.

>>50963973
Meanwhile, there's likely a Scum Barge or even a small swarm dedicated to celebrating EVERYONE'S new year, including calculating the respective lunar calendars for Saturn and Jupiter, just so they can have appropriate New Years Bashes for them, synced with to-the-minute count-downs for each time-zone-type arrangement in each polity on each celestial body. They also live-stream various swarm elements to those respective polities.

They might, at some point, run out of champaign.

Might.

>>50964033

And then the snooty wine snob swarm comes along and insists they've run out of champagne for a long time, as the Champagne province of France has been destroyed for like 10 years.

>>50964049
So, that sounds like a plot hook to me.

The Scum Barge "New Year's Ball" commissions a mission to Earth, with guaranteed cargo lifts of 50 lbs per person, to get them to bring back two handfuls of soil from a specific region of earth, carefully packed so they can grow actual, (semi-)authentic champaign, just to rub it in the snooty wine snob swarm's face.

>>50964151

>>50964515
>>50964151

No idea what you mean.

Well, they don't have any of the skills for it and there's no hard and fast AI modding rules, but otherwise the muse is generally loyal to you and acts in your best interest, so it'll waddle out of a fight and make sure your batteries get plugged in, I guess.

Something that I find players often don't grasp is that a social character WRECKS in Eclipse Phase because they essentially have bonus currency, and if they don't have knowledge or skills they know someone who does. So 3 is the way I would go. Excellent impersonator, spoofs messages from your accounts. He doesn't just kill you - first he ruins you, so nobody will mourn your death or really care about resleeving you. THEN he kills you.

I understand the point that of the comic, but it still annoys me.

>>50906166
If you're running a game, invite me. Kali#6660 on Discord. The one I was supposed to play in fell apart due to somewhat hilarious, cringe-y reasons verging on black comedy that are inappropriate to discuss here because the player responsible may browse this general.

What are some fun ways to use TITANs in a campaign that simultaneously feel extremely dangerous to players and NPCs and at the same time give off the feeling of hostile semi-indifference or playful cat-like murderous intent?

My first thought was that first, you have to put the event with the TITAN(s) in a campaign that isn't about TITANs because a campaign about TITANs themselves is boring - either you do injustice to TITANs as a whole by turning them in "diamond cannons", or it just becomes a question of why the players would enter and stay inside a space station that eats 2d20 investigators a turn.

>>50982181
He's such a fucking pussy, though. I can hardly stand watching any of the iterations at all.

>>50985514
That's the point.

There's a reason why teens aren't used by the army. There's a reason why African warlords dump their child soldiers full of amphetamines and cocaine.

Children make shit soldiers.

>>50985563
What was the reason for using young teenagers again?

>>50985613
They have more social awkwardness, which translates to stronger force fields for the Evas.

>>50979191
So it literally cannot pull a trigger?

>>50985784
Should have been a reply to >>50979171

>>50985676
Can't they just find an aspie?

>>50985811
They could, but the aspie would also need to be the son of daughter of one of the woman's souls stuffed into the Evas. The Evas are powered by motherly love, you know.

>>50985803

IIRC, the section says something like they might perform basic tasks in a pinch, but yeah. They might pull the trigger, but they'd never have a chance in hell of hitting anything. I mean, without Pilot: Anthroform, the muse probably doesn't really know much about fine manipulation with fingers - its a Secretarial AI.

ALI also have many limiters and security features on their behavior, like obeying the law and following orders from authorized users, violence is probably not in most of their natures.

>>50985459
We discussed all the different ways one could port Doom to the Internet of things, and CHRONUS is funny because it's an incomprehensible space God, but his goals still basically amount to "kidnap persons of interest", and it just spams fetches trying to gobble up singularity seekers to see if they found anything it missed. It was also probably the good decision maker that went and poked a cloud full of Jupiter brains on the edge of the Galaxy.

It was MYRMADON or something that had the orbital weapons platform during the fall, right? I assume it's fetches would be doomguy.

>>50989303

Yeah MYRMIDON was the TITAN who was "physically present" at the L4 battle of Earth, and its hardware is responsible for the Glory strain and associate scenario.

Can someone TLDR the setting?

>>50995669
In a post-cyberpunk world the world's military super artificial intelligences suddenly went insane from an alien virus and started genociding humanity, then just fucked off to space through physics breaking portals all of a sudden, leaving a broken, scared shitless humanity behind.

Earth is a horror wasteland, humanity fled and colonized the rest of the solar system.
Your mind can be uploaded, copied, edited and sent through the solar system fro transport. People can switch bodies, there's uplifted animals and AIs living among transhumanity.

Humanity is splintered politically and economically and just one fuck-up away from facing extinction, even if with the awesome technoligcal progress.

>>50995669

Your body is a shell. Change it.
Your mind is software. Program it.
Death is a disease. Cure it.
Extinction is coming. Fight it.

Also nanomachines, son.

Can you reccomend a premade to try out?

>>50996006

The quick start scenario is pretty basic. I've had a lot of success with Glory, personally, and hear people talk about Continuity a lot.

In fanmade stuff, Think Before Asking and Dehumanize Yourself to Face Bloodshed seem fairly popular.

>>50989335

So, how many TITANs are known? What are they and what were their respective domains?

I only ever heard of the one mentioned in the core book.

>>51003005
I like to think the engineers ran out of fucks and named one of them BATMAN.

>>51003005

There's maybe 5 or 6 mentioned in X-Risks as discrete "TITANs" that Firewall has IDed, some of them are under codename. It describes what kind of operations Firewall thinks they undertook during the Fall.

I think this means we have more examples of TITANs than Prometheans, there are only like three "potential" ASI profiles in the Firewall book.

>>50988056

>>51003005
There's 5 full profiles:
Cronus: The first TITAN to wake up, and is designed for top level strategic analysis and planning, to beat other ASI planners like 100 Flowers. Cronus seemed to get through the Fall with less Exsurgent degradation of capability, and is thought to still be operating covert agents going after several AGI targets.

Akonus: The Socialite TITAN. Originally built to understand, predict, and take advantage of individual humans. A psychological expert believed to still be operating a number of puppets and sleeper agents in the solar system.

Hecaloth: A TITAN thought to be operating in the solar system by firewall. Thought to be the "Martian TITAN" which may have a physical base in the TQZ white zone. Firewall is super paranoid that Hecaloth may be targeting Firewall or hunting a promethean.

Myrmidon: A TITAN which coordinated attacks on earth orbit habs. Aggressive. Primary processor locus thought to have been destroyed but not recovered during the battle of L4.

Theia: The merger of 5 pre-fall TITAN clusters. Financial and logistic specialist. Instrumental in acquiring physical assets for the TITANs during the early and covert stages of the Fall. Believed to still be operating in the solar system. The Keikaku TITAN with a contingency for everything (moreso than normal).

There's also mentions of profiles for Ogre, Cyclops, and Goliath, which are incomplete and represent 1-3 nanowarfare specialized TITANs.

>>51004914
There's 5 mentioned Prometheans, similar to the number of TITANs.

>>51007514

Are there? I only remember like three examples, the chinese one, the bird one, and then one other one I can't remember.

>>51004914
>some of them are under codename
Surely all of them are?

>>51008034
I think that's the Prometheans. The "good" ones. The bird one must be Cassowary.

Is Nomic a Promethean?

>>51008034
There's Adrasteia, Paracletus, Cassowary, Diogenes/Xuan Wu, and Mycroft all written up.

>>51009090
Probably not but maybe. Nomic could be an ASI or Seed AI, and Cronus is interested in them.

See, you say that, and still I only remember like, 4/5 of those names and couldn't describe Diogenes or Mycroft. I'll have to look at that section again.

>>51009057

Yeah, didn't finish my thought. Without the section in front of me, I'm remembering that some names are just like, Firewall codenames where as others are known by more common aliases.

Can I still enjoy it?

>>51011073

I mean, yes you can enjoy anything even if you don't agree with meanings buried in it (or made up by English teachers), some of that will depend on where your GM goes with the themes.

Playing like a reasonable Precautionist or Bio-Conservative are perfectly valid under the game system, and can work out just fine.
