General Chaos / Re: DayZ

That was hilarious. The part towards the end when he's walking out of the building and the runner comes is top notch.

RPGs / Re: Eclipse Phase - Steam Punk

I may default to the MMO idea, as it is great, but the attempt is going to be standalone.
I'm not planning on limiting this to Earth. I'm thinking the jumping off point will be Space:1889's setting + some sort of ego explanation + Exurgent stand in.
Basically, how would a classic Victorian science fiction writer introduce the dynamics of EP.

I think that will make the procedure cheap enough in your steampunk world that it would be comparable to EPs digital version.
That works well enough for me.
Gorkamorka -
That pic is perfect. Alot of the artist's other work fits too.

Thanks for the thoughts.
I don't think the technology itself is an issue. With the example of nanotech, EP is using an extrapolation of that technology to create a story / mechanical result. I could have an incredible shrinking machine to make nano clockwork devices or whatever. The mechanics generally jive.
The thought was purely on breaking themes or the blending of themes causing an issue. Your points wrt egos was what I was getting at. I think that needs to be maintained somehow.
I don't intend to mirror EP exactly, just using the technology horror / setting as a jumping off point and using the existing system as a base. Not sure how the fall fits into that yet.
Awesome. Thanks.

RPGs / Eclipse Phase - Steam Punk
« on: June 29, 2012, 11:24:27 PM »
One set of my players wants to start an EP game and the other player wanted to do something steam punk, so I'm going to give a shot at blending the two.
For the most part, I don't see too many issues as most things tech-wise can be converted and I think some of it is kind of cool when you glue some gears on it. The problem I have is with the stacks. I can imagine some sort of phonograph device in people to mimic it, but that seems like it would be uncommon.
Would making the majority of people being flats ruin the feel of EP? I see it more as people can go have a copy made and then be put in storage vs. the active stack. Just not sure if that breaks the leveling / continuity concept.

Role Playing Public Radio Podcast / Re: What do you want the next RPPR campaign to be?
« on: October 10, 2011, 01:34:34 PM »
Rogue Trader sounds like it would be interesting.
Have you ever thought about running Riddle of Steel? My group ran a mini-campaign off of the quick start rules and it was a blast. The first PC to die from blood loss due to one mace hit to the crotch completely changed how the players approached every situation.
I also think the RPPR crew running an Ars Magica troupe would be neat to hear.

Role Playing Public Radio Podcast / Re: Where do you listen to RPPR?
« on: February 27, 2011, 09:16:20 PM »I was listening to the Prototype game once while doing a pretty tough set - and it was right at the part where Jason throws a rock at an oncoming car. I laughed so hard that I almost dropped my weights. I actually had to stop working out for 5 minutes or so because I was absolutely dying of laughter. It got me some stares.
I was listening to the dark sun AP when Cody started doing the Mul woman's voice in the bar. Squats + Cody DM = back injury. Other than working out, I listen while commuting or when doing anything that doesn't require my complete attention at work.
I was familiar with RPGs before the podcast but I had never really played. A friend sent me a link to the Gaga 2.0 episode due to my desire for her to bare my illegitimate children.
Since listening I've started running/playing a few games. So I blame RPPR for making me come out of the nerd closet.
