We’re inviting you to a round of Eclipse Phase (2e). The game is a transhuman science fiction RPG of conspiracy and horror.

• We have two gamemasters and will allow for up to 10 players.

• Read up on the setting if it’s your cup of tea. Most of the game‘s PDFs (free, official) are found here: https://robboyle.info/ EP2 Condensed Player‘s Guide and EP2 Character Options (with the life path creation method) are most important for you.

• It would be great if you created your own character before the game. For those who don‘t, please be early, so we can make one.

• We don’t want to use pregens. Make a character that is your own. The idea is to have a connected story across several sessions.

• The venue opens at 6pm. We usually start playing around 7pm. We have rented a room on the second floor. It‘s €3 per person. Pay in cash or PayPal at the event.

NEW PLAYER & BEGINNER FRIENDLY
The adventure is open to anyone, including new players and beginners, and first preference is for those not in other games, to give others a chance to play.

PREFERRED GROUP
I'd like to run the adventure with the same players and play regularly to the end of this module, every week or two weeks without a lot of delays because of lack of availability.

PLAYER SPOTS
Players who can regularly play this module through are given spots first. After that, if spots are free anyone can drop in.

SIGNING UP (RSVP)
Sign up if you’re sure you’ll attend and can play regularly to the end of the adventure. If you can’t attend, change your RSVP to Not Going as soon as possible to give others a chance to play.

PLAY STYLE
