Ego Crash

Space pirates, nanoswarms, and fallen godlike AIs await you in the criminal underworld of Eclipse Phase. Take the role of a criminal operative working for a shady organization that deals in forbidden technology while trying to figure out what nefarious goals your employers have. Set in a post-apocalyptic transhuman future using Eclipse Phase Second Edition rules, this criminal campaign is looking for 2–3 players to hop into an existing team for the second mission (and potentially beyond), set in the Jovian Trojans. No prior knowledge of the system is necessary if you are willing to learn!

The Egocrashers are a small organization in the solar system's underworld that are primarily involved in the theft, sale, development, and trafficking of dangerous and forbidden weapons and technologies. They are known among transhumanity's criminal elements for hiring individuals with unique backgrounds to undertake dangerous jobs that pay very highly.

Recently, the group put out an advertisement on a midnight-marked job board looking for highly motivated and skilled individuals to "liberate one of nanotechnology's greatest minds from slavery in Jupiter's orbit." The potential payout listed is jaw-dropping, but so are the supposed risks. Potential TITAN exotech? Hungry nanobot swarms? Cyborg bodyguards? Space pirates? Unlikely. Besides, how hard can it really be to kidnaprescue a scientist?

System: Eclipse Phase, Second Edition (free rules available here). No prior familiarity with the system required! The system is fairly crunchy, but I am willing to help you learn.

Posting Frequency: Ideally, an average of 2 times per week to keep things moving, but historically we've averaged about once a week so far.

Game Type: This mission is a medium-length investigative mission that is part of a longer campaign involving uncovering the secrets of the Egocrashers.
