This week, Alex, Ryan, Meyer, Derek, Ed, James, Chris and Will sit down for a chat about the recently completed Eclipse Phase campaign, The Promethean Chronicles. We cover our favorite moments, the biggest surprises, things we wish we could have done differently, and the ultimate fate of our characters. In addition, Alex discusses some of his ideas that never made it to the table, as well as a proposal for a short sequel campaign. If you’ve enjoyed Alex’s Eclipse Phase games, join us for a look back on the laughs, the violence, and the existential horror that kept us going for 29 sessions!

After their narrow escape from Noctis-Qianjiao, our team of former Firewall Sentinels must quickly find passage off of Mars in order to continue their investigation. They’ll have to travel back to the main belt, where an unscrupulous AGI code-named “Hyperion” is experimenting with the alien exsurgent virus. Using a sample that the Prometheus Syndicate obtained on Luna, back when the gang had their battle with Roland Heinrikson, Hyperion has engineered a plague that will devastate the remnants of transhumanity across the system and fulfill Seldon’s mathematical predictions. Can Lucas, Amir, Gavin and Elis shut down the operation, or will Hyperion permanently eliminate another set of variables from the equation? Listen to find out!
