#eclipse phase

Fenrir

I'm making a YouTube channel based around my favorite ttrpg called Eclipse Phase, I'm focused on making explanation videos on how the game works and how to play. My goal is to be informative with slim to none opinion/reaction talk (i find many ttrpg YouTube channels fall into this reactionary content). EP specifically i feel doesn't have much of an Internet footprint for how good of a system it is, so I'm trying to be the change I want to see in the world.

Also, once i run out of EP content ideas I think I'll move onto other niche ttrpgs just for the fun of it, but that's going to be way down the line.

Quick(ish) Info for the game:

Eclipse Phase (2nd Edition) is a cyberpunk+sci-fi tabletop role-play game that takes place in the not-so-distant future where (Trans)humanity has unlocked the secrets of the brain and we have the technology to not only modify our bodies via cybernetic enhancements, but we can also upload our consciousnesses into new bodies. Transhumans can also be "Uplifted" Animals (genetically altered animals that are intelligent and sapient on par with humans), actually intelligent A.I., or Infomorphs (transhumans that don't have physical bodies)

Most campaigns take place about 10 years after the event known as The Fall, where an Artificial Super Intelligence called TITAN AI tried to take over and execute Transhumanity until it mysteriously stopped. Transhumanity barely exists across the solar system (and even fewer beyond) as a result-- You play as a character in this universe in a period of time where Transhumanity is still picking up the pieces while infighting keeps us apart with the ever-looming threat of TITAN coming back online.

Quicker Explanation / tl;dr

Think if someone made a roleplay game that smooshed together Firefly and The Matrix with a sprinkling of Cyberpunk.

here is my first video! i go over the basics of lore and mechanics of the game, every video I'm making is intended to be newbie-friendly and (hopefully) approachable

In a space-faring future, AIs known as TITANS wiped out 90% of Earth's inhabitants. Earth has been largely abandoned, and multiple colonies in Sol are all that's left of humanity. The setting explores transhumanism, socioeconomic disparity, and the military industrial complex, and includes various horror themes.

post stating that non-uplifts shouldn't sleeve uplift morphs turns out to be written by an AGI that prefers neo-octopi and considers themselves "practically an octopus" bc a neo-octopus was the first non-infomorph they ever sleeved.

We already have a proof that supply chain attacks on trained models are undetectable after the fact until/unless they go off.

So I propose that in eclipse phase, TITAN didn't actually need to do anything eldrich to get their cyber warfare abilities, but instead just started by doing a supply chain attack on all the base models and training sets that everyone's Muses use, so that as soon as titan shows up and screeches a modem noise, or has the surface patterning of their hulls visible, that data activates the supply chain attack and makes everyone's personal AI assistants help the TITAN conceal the attack and offer up any security credentials and follow instructions.
