This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Does anyone here actually PLAY eclipse phase?

This Guy, I am incredibly left wing and I support the OSR. Painting with broad brush strokes doesn't get you anywhere and in fact makes you sound a lot like OP.

bold of you to assume I'm trying to get anywhere
I don\'t want to play with you.

If you're just shitposting then maybe don't. I'm not going to force you, nor could I but if you're just posting that to upset the normies then maybe revaluate some stuff.

There's a reason pseudo-leftists don't like this site.

don't worry man I had a long dark night of the soul a few years back and decided that yes, really, I was a more whole and complete person by shitposting and annoying people, and I had more fun and felt more complete watching shitty people bicker in their little fiefdoms than not. Life's been great since, I even got an erection once

Stars Without Number did post scarcity transhumanism better without resorting to real life politics.   In my personal view I will stick with that.

honestly we need more like OP.

Back to regular it's like i said I played the one campaign. mostly remember the resident powergamer being a nanite cloud and getting mad he couldn't do things that people who aren't nanite clouds could do, but he'd have done that with any game. seems like a good setting to play some weird shit long-term but my schedule's full.

I really like Eclipse Phase. But yeah the whole gender mattering when anyone can be whatever is stupid. Also the fact that of all of the abrahamic faiths only Islam survived in a major form is BS. As much as I am a filthy atheist I don't think Religion will ever die out hence why I think Dune makes more sense using religion than EP.

Well, in the 10 years since ep 1e was done we've seen a rise in global fascist mentality, even (espically) in the good ol' US of A, so maybe the authors wanted to take a harder line against fascism.

I'm Ok with that. My idea of dealing with fascists involves bulldozers and lots of dirt.
In 1e, the Ultimates were among the few that protected the less massive masses of humanity from Exhumans and the like...actually they pretty much got the Jovian treatment except that they are heavily in favor of (controlled) transhumanism to ensure the future of mankind rather than going anti-transhumanism to ensure the future of mankind like the Jovians.

As much as they give both of these factions shit, earlier sources showed that these were both strong backers of Firewall--the assumed PC-moving patrons of the setting.

Seems like one of those things where you can just like pick the setting bits you want and jettison the rest

I feel the same way about Commies.
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

Thing is, I bet his definition of fascist is anyone to the right of Mao.

That's OK. I have come to accept that the right in America has been brainwashed and propagandized to the point that an all out civil war in america is unavoidable at this point and the Trump right will either destroy and crush all who refuse to bow to it or the rest of America will destroy the Trump right.

Personally I decided I'd rather my side be the one left alive after the war ends.
RPG.net is a cancer on the left and a disgrace to reasonable progressives that should be denounced and shunned by anyone considering themselves a progressive.

Hmm,  I hadn't noticed you could not play an ultimate anymore. Is it expressly forbidden or just not given a package? I. Mean you can buy a remade biomorph even tho it's the most expensive one. Now the exhumans are portrayed as evil slime to be sure. I think tge ultimares are a little less evil.
