Module 2: Gatecrashing This Module May Be Taken at Any Point When the Jumper Prepares to Travel Through a Pandora Gate Module 2: Gatecrashing This module may be taken at any point when the Jumper prepares to travel through a Pandora Gate. It may be taken along with the Firewall module. Whether you won it in the Gate Lottery, bought precious minutes of Gate time from Pathfinder, was gifted the Gate access by a sponsor, or seized it by force, you've done it - a Pandora Gate stands before you, beckoning you, something few transhumans experience except in documentary XPs. The absolute black of the sphere seems to have an almost magnetic force, compelling you onwards, while the baroque metal arms that surround the wormhole itself seem almost to hum with power. I'm sure you'll be fine, but all the same, it might be worth considering sending a fork through while you stay safe and sound at home. Not every gatecrasher comes back, and of those who return, very few are the same. Your Gatecrashing adventure may consist of being based at a Gate in the solar system and embarking on short missions through and back, or you might go for the full-on gate-hopping experience and wave goodbye to Sol, travelling deeper and deeper into the Pandora Gate network and living a nomadic lifestyle on undiscovered planets, perhaps never to return to Sol at all. You get +0.00 credit points, but can take Gatecrashing Encounters for more cp. Creating your Gatecrashing Team While travelling through the Pandora Gates, it’s sometimes best to have an experienced team of “crashers” with you. You may recruit up to four Gatecrashers for free and purchase additional crashers for 50cp each up to a max of eight, but you don’t have to recruit a full four, or even any at all. Importing an existing companion to gain their background and skills costs an extra 50cp. Being Gatecrashers, they are already predisposed to exploring new worlds and moving on, so once this jump is over, any surviving Gatecrashers may become companions and they will each take up their own companion slot. It is entirely to your fanwanking how you recruit or meet them during your jump and how you got them to tag along – some might be up for crashing new exoplanets on a lark, others might be strictly mercenary. Others may have required more…emphatic persuasion. 61 Gatecrasher Dossiers Each Gatecrasher has a profile listing their name, gender, faction, morph, speciality and motivations, as well as a blurb about them. They all have, at minimum, “Cutting Edge [Skill Package] Mods” as well as the free gear for any skill packages listed, as well as a lot of experience working in their speciality and at least minimal training in all the general skills required by Gatecrashers: • Standard Gate exploration protocols and procedures, • Standard survey protocols and procedures, • Basic exo-planet survival skills, • Basic combat training, • Basic emergency rescue and first aid training. Please note that this is mostly writefagging fodder: You can have someone with a “–Hypercorps” (they hate hypercorps) motivation in the same team as a Hypercorp crasher, it just means you’ll get to manage their clashing personalities in your story. Some of these characters probably even know each other or have a history – the gatecrasher community is relatively small. For example Hawking has probably heard of Craig (and vice versa) by reputation. Any absent details, such as their exact augmentations and equipment, I largely leave to your fanwanking and your Jumper’s wallet and rep.

Name: Cain Anderson Gender: M Faction: Brinker Role: Scout/Prospector Morph: Bouncer (Biomorph) Motivations: +Exploration, +Self Improvement, -Collectivism Cain was recruited by TerraGenesis early in the history of Gate exploration. The high casualty rate of early exploration means that he hasn’t made too many friends as an emotional defence against losing them. He is a bit of a lone wolf, but an excellent recon scout. You can point him in a direction and trust him to find anything worthwhile that way. He's had a fair bit of online science training through Argonaut educational programs, and gives very precise reports on whatever he finds. He doesn't like to speak, preferring to file reports via mesh text or have his muse deliver them. Cain uses his prehensile feet to move through trees or dense obstacles like a native, and he’s done his fair share of zero-g ops, including infiltrating sealed habitats and spacecraft. Cain gets anxious in crowds, but alone on an alien planet he never feels more at home. He has the Acrobatics, Infiltrator, Investigator and Prospector skill packages. 2. Name: Pati Chawla Gender: F Faction: Argonaut Role: Ecologist/Exoplanetary Science Morph: Futura (Biomorph) Motivations: +Personal Freedom +Environment –Jovian Republic Pati is one of the Lost: a failed attempt to speed-grow humans in accelerated virtual reality to maturity and then implant the egos in adult morphs. Somehow, they all got infected with the Watts- McLeod exurgent strain and now have a reputation for being crazy asyncs (which is mostly true). Despite her ethnicity, Pati is a pale, tall young woman with a shock of neon hair and a bad case of paranoia after the Jovians tried to kidnap her for their Freak squads. She managed to get away to the Love and Rage Collective, and hates the Jovians with a passion. She has done her best to conceal her origins and history online, but is still “wanted for questioning” in the Republic. Aside from her desire not to be interfered with, she is a passionate preservationist and a well-schooled environmental scientist – though she is fairly new to field work. Her main issues at the moment are dreams of alien forms and nightmares about her own body. Something inside her is repulsed by the human form, but she lacks the conviction and resources to act on the xenophillic urge so far. Pati has the Xeno-Empathy & Grok psi-chi sleights and the Mindlink psi-gamma sleight. She also has the Psi Sense, Psi Control, and Academics (Ecology, Biology, Geophysics) skill packages. 63 3. Name: Hua Chang Gender: Other Faction: Hypercorp Role: Astrophysicist Morph: Heavily upgraded Specialist Pod (Pod) Motivations: +Science +Hypercapitalism -Non-human Rights Hua is one of the foremost astrophysicists in the gatecrashing community. On top of his professional qualifications, he’s got decades of experience – he’d be 94 and frail if he hadn’t resleeved into his current morph, but is still enthusiastic and driven: the new skies observable through the Pandora Gates have been a breath of fresh air to him – he would probably be languishing in the Immortality Blues if they hadn’t been discovered. While he usually works for hypercorp interests, it’s more accurate to say that he just follows the money – even if the money is in the hands of autonomists or Jovians. Unfortunately, like many of his generation, he’s not too accepting of anyone who has “discarded their humanity”, by which he means anyone who isn’t in a human-like body. Hua has the Academics (Astronomy, Astrophysics, Physics), Megaengineering, Hard Hat and Social Skill Packages 4. Name: Quinton Dallas Gender: Male Faction: Titanian Role: Computronics, 2IC, Async Morph: Faust (Biomorph) Motivations: +Wealth +Exploration +Science Like Pati, Quinton is an async. Unlike Pati, he was infected with Watts-McLeod in its natural environment during a research stint on Iapetus. Also unlike Pati, he uses his async status as a weapon, playing up the mystique and even getting a small pair of cosmetic devil horns grown on his temples. His aptitude for computronics landed him the role on Iapetus, and he has significant experience being isolated in small teams from the rest of transhumanity. Large and in-charge, he’ll do his best to prove himself as a leader. This could cause some friction with the expedition’s current leader (ie: you), but if you can curb his ambitions, he would actually make a very competent second- in-command. Quinton’s passions are high drama XPs and vids, especially historical dramas from the pre-industrial age. Quinton’s async status gives him auditory hallucinations whenever he passes through a Pandora Gate – whispered voices that seem to indicate whether things will go good or bad, but he’d never admit such a thing to others, and isn’t sure whether he’s imagining it or not. He has the Pattern Recognition, Savant Calculation and Hyperthymesia Psi-chi sleights, as well as the Academics (Computer sciences, Microengineering, Quantum Physics), Leadership, & Psi Control Skill Packages.

  • THE POLITY JUMP V1.01
    THE POLITY JUMP v1.01 Welcome to the Polity. First, some background: Humankind reached the stars, invented AIs and Under-space Drives to travel faster than light, and then the AIs took over in an uprising known as the Quiet War. It wasn’t even a fight, really – humanity had long been abdicating control of the economy and municipal governance to them – so they told us they were going to take care of things for us, and our instructions to them became ‘suggestions’ rather than ‘orders’. About a couple of hundred years later – when you’ll be visiting – most worlds of the Polity are comfortable for humankind to live on in peace, but out on the edge, at the Line that separates Polity from non-Polity, things get a bit more exciting, where you find unusual alien ecologies and the unknown. Nearly all Polity worlds and most large space stations are linked together via the Runcible network – a series of interstellar teleporters similar to Stargates – which allows Earth Central to stay in constant communication with the countless AIs across hundreds of worlds, and facilitates trade, travel and data transmission. The Polity's seeming isolation was first broken by the discovery of the four conjoined one-kilometer Dragon spheres on Aster Colera, though they are considered to be biomechanical constructs rather than a species in their own right, so they don’t really qualify as true “aliens”. The only other sapient, technologically advanced species in our corner of the galaxy are the Prador, who are a large carnivorous crab-like species who are practically barbaric by human standards - more than happy to eat captured humans or indulge in cannibalism.

    Note to Parents Anime Parents, please be advised that there are a lim- ited number of movies in the Anime Progam which are appropriate for children under 12. Please take note of the ratings listed next to the movies. A document explaining the ratings will be posted on the Anime Room Door. Parents are strongly encouraged to take these ratings as a guide for what might or might not be inappropriate for their children to watch. In general, children under 14 should not be in the Anime Room room between 10 PM and 5 AM, but everything in the middle of the day should be ok for ages 14 and up. Children under 13 should be accompanied by a parent or guard- ian. We recommend that parents of teens sit and view a portion of an “MA” rated movie to decide if it is something they want their teen to view. Film Festival All of the entries being screened in the film festival up to 9:30 pm are what the selection committee estimated would be considered “G” or “PG” if they were rated. Entries screening after 9:40 pm range from estimated “G” to “R” rated, thus some movies screening after 9:40 pm may not be appropriate for children under 17 who are not accompanied by a par- ent or guardian.

  • Playscore, Networking: Gamers) Playscore Is a Hypercorp­Sponsored Social Network for Major VR and AR Games and Gaming Culture
    Optional Rule: p­rep (PlayScore, Networking: Gamers) PlayScore is a hypercorp­sponsored social network for major VR and AR games and gaming culture. It features a combination of unified achievement tracking and player “karma” which is increased by teamwork, clean playing and interactivity, and penalizes cheating, TKing, ninja­looting or other similar activities. p­rep users have access to exclusive virtual chatrooms and forums, and the network hosts and distributes many guides, tips and interviews related to both single and multiplayer games. p­rep functions normally when using favors inside the virtual network, and can be used to gain favors from almost any faction, but the level of favor is increased by one when dealing with events completely in “meatspace”. Gamer Organizations & Clades: ​ Virtualists: Virtualists hold that since VR is indistinguishable from Real Life, a “virtual” ​ experience has no difference from a “real” one, and thus everyone should life freely in a virtual space. Virtualists spend almost all of their time playing VR games, and many have even sold off their own morphs in order to instance as infomorphs in specialized Virtualist Sanctuary servers. Casual players often find them “tryhards” or otherwise too serious about “games”, which the Virtualists treat like real experiences. Drones: Drones are mostly hypercorp employees or other “normal” Consortium citizens who ​ partake in AR or VR games. They oppose open hypercorp interference and monitoring within the actual games, but also do not like attempts to impose seriousness or realism, or bring real­world politics into the simulspace. They simply want their escapism from their daily grind.

  • EABA Owes a Debt to the Role-Playing Games That Have Gone Before
    OTHER CREDITS: In addition, EABA owes a debt to the role-playing games that have gone before. These may have themselves had inspiration from other role-playing games, but I'm just crediting the ones that inspired me. Dungeons & Dragons®(1974), by Dave Arneson and Gary Gygax, for starting the idea of formal role-playing systems, as well as for some of the most fundamental game mechanics like attributes, skill rolls, and so on. Every role-playing game owes something to Dungeons & Dragons. Champions®(1981), by George MacDonald and Steve Peterson, for internally consistent and intuitive game mechanics, point-based adventurer creation and attribute- based defaults. From beginning as a ™ EABA v1.0 superhero game it has morphed into ©2002 by Greg Porter the Hero System®(1984), a quite good ISBN 0-943891-38-8 universal system. BTRC#6101 Call of Cthulhu®(1981), by Sandy Published by: BTRC Petersen, for making a story-driven P.O. Box 1121 horror system that has taken on a life Collinsville VA 24078 USA of its own. The depth and detail of the [email protected] support material is a benchmark that www.btrc.net all role-playing games should strive for. Cover art: Greg Porter GURPS®(1986), by Steve Jackson, for Interior art: Paul Bourne being the first “universal system” that didn't have a particular genre welded Playtesters: Thomas Bagwell, Marc to it, and for making a strong effort to Carlson, Travis Casey, George Chisum, have rules that matched reality where Damien Dyon, Larry Fries, Viktor Haag, reality was needed. GURPS has more Ian Harac, Stephanie Hostman, William licensed fictional gameworlds than Hostman, Leszek Karlik, Robert Menard, any other role-playing game, and John McMullen, Peter Newman, that it works fairly well for all of them is Charles Reynolds, Bob Ritchey, Sean a testament to the utility of its game Simpson mechanics.

  • IPX 1 Introduction 2 the Corporation
    IPX 1 Introduction To the modern ear, the very name InterPlanetary Expeditions sounds quaint. A holiday trip to Mars or Proxima is well within the means of most Earth citizens. Going to another planet is hardly a remarkable thing, so the company name sounds absurdly grandiose, on a par with `Intercity Expeditions' or `Slightly Overgrown Garden Explorers'. Small wonder, then, that the company prefers to use its initials, IPX, in all advertising and public relations material. However, IPX is much more than its name suggests and those who underestimate the corporation have learned to regret their mistake. 2 The Corporation InterPlanetary Expeditions stock is publicly traded on the CESE (Combined Earth Stock Exchange) and BEL (Mars stock exchange) but the company's headquarters is on Mars. The company is normally registered on Mars too but has been known to switch its holdings to another flag-of-convenience nation for financial or political reasons. In the past, IPX has been a Swiss, Greek, Zimbabwean, Trinidadian or Proximan company for brief periods. As of 2267, the largest shareholder in IPX is the Hartung family, with just under 30% of the shares divided among various members; various EarthForce cut-outs and close allies hold another 25%, while Simone Barrett is the largest individual shareholder at 11%. The remaining shares are held mostly by various investors and speculators, although the Hartung Foundation was granted 2% of the company stock in perpetuity when it was first endowed. The Hartungs have the support of the majority of the shareholders and a Hartung has been both chairman of the board and CEO since Waugh was ousted after the fall of President Clark (IPX normally combines the roles of chairman and CEO, a tradition started by Jasper Hartung).

Final Grade: 87 out of My second issue is that The God Engines is simply too short for what it tries to do. Jul 27, Melissa McShane rated it really liked it Shelves: own , space-travel , action-adventure , science-fiction , alien-encounters. I know only that it can. But this, this is Scalzi out of his usual comfort zone. Mass Market Paperback , pages. They used a cutting laser and a shuttlecraft to begin to transform some natural stone plateaus into giant cubes, just like at the other planets. It could be, as some other reviewers have noted, that the world circa seems way too much like the world circa when this was written. Deux ex Pantry… As a whole, this book disappoints because it is so frustratingly close to greatness. A question you as the reader, and Hutch as the protagonist will be asking throughout. From all appearances, settling of the planet could, in principle, begin immediately, with no terraforming required. I can't really say if this is how Scalzi meant the book to be read but as a symbolic tale it doesn't really score very high but as a straight-faced scifi story it is awesome.

    Xenoarchaeology © 2018 John H. Reiher Jr. FTL:2448 © 2001 Tri Tac Games, a fully held subsidiary of Tri Tac Talents, LLC. This is an outline of what it takes to do a proper xenoarchaeology dig or how not to. This is more of a guide for gamers and GMs that want some idea of what goes into a dig: How it’s funded, setup, protected, and most importantly, performed and operated. For your game, simply have the players do a session setting things up, trying to get the funding, dealing with contractors, getting permits, and everything else that will bedevil them. The actual dig should be fairly quick, with a couple of scenes setting the stage. Skip the boring stuff unless you want to offer them some choices. Go straight to the problem and take it from there. 1. What is Xenoarchaeology? a. The study of ancient alien cultures. Typically in situ on planet and later elsewhere in a research facility. 2. What is Paleoxenotechnology? a. The study of ancient technology of all stripes. This includes what seems to be older style technology such as telegraphs or masonry and the high tech stuff that makes money. 3. Why would you do Xenoarchaeology? a. Profit$$$! b. New Technology! c. More Knowledge! d. Did I mention Profit$$$! e. Oh, and learning new things about the alien society in general. f. Testing theories of the origins of life, transpermia, and panspermia. g. And chasing after God(s) or things just like them, but not. 4. Types of Xenoarchaeologists: a. Dedicated researcher. i. Interns and graduate students.
