Will Utopia be mankind's downfall? What has mankind done? An age of enlightenment has brought ruin on a grand scale. Can humanity weather this, or will the scattering of fate, and the loss of the home world be the final chapter in what is called transhumanity. Is humanity even human anymore?
Der Untergang will be an Eclipse Phase gam run by Brendan on Pandora's Lair. The focus will be the sort of Firewall, espionage, research type of game suggested in the manual. Most of the play will be in various Inner and Outer system play. We don't expect to spend a lot of with gate crashing, or interacting with aliens in far-flung locales. AI will play a significant role in the game.
Der Untergang will not be a game of hopeless horror or inevitability, nor will we pretend that mankind isn't on a precipice of some kind. Sessions will vary between these extremes, but the overall tone should be between these somewhere.
If you chose to read the spoiler section of the EP manual, be advised that my world of EP is varied from the 'truth' presented there. That is all I'll say on the subject, just don't expect to have super insight if you've read it.
Characters will be sleeved and basically outfitted onto their first assignment in the course of the game. Characters are expected to be new Firewall agents, joining at the start of play. Characters should have some aspect that Firewall will be interested in. Please write a hook for Firewall into your character. An expert on the edge of science, Combat abilities, Hackers, physical security experts are all good choices, but others might be as well.
