Gaming Aide #1c - Tabbing Eclipse Phase

As a promised, following up my post Gaming Aide #1this post, Gaming Aide #1c, is my third in a line telling everyone where I've put my tab in some of my most used game books.

Eclipse Phase is a near future sci-fi roleplay for the experienced gamer. To me it lending itself to the long term campaign, push's the boundaries of sci-fi and horror while giving the player the ability to move his character from body to body. This trans-human genera will most likely step you out of your comfortable sci-fi zone to a harsher more real feeling future.

The Eclipse Phase book needs tabs! If your a player you going to need a book so you can read up on the background and to have access to all the things you'll want/ need to know to play and your going to need to tab those pages! For us referees your going to find the referee screen to be incredibly helpful one minute and yet incredibly useless the next and so your going to need your book tabbed to fill in for all the other stuff you'll need to reference during play.

If you've read my other 2 posts about tabbing you know this disclaimer already! One thing to keep in mind about my list is that my books are tabbed for my use as a referee not a player. Here and there you'll find me marking a page for my players but not to often. So as a player in Eclipse Phase game you'll want most of these same tabs along with the tabs for your morph, weapons, gear and any other things that you end up using all the time.

What you'll find below is what page to put the tab on and what I wrote on my tab

Eclipse Phase / Mindscan - Understanding copying consciousness

During our Eclipse Phase podcast I mention a book that I used to help people understand the concept of copying your consciousness into another body. This is a common theme in EP and an important idea to have a solid grasp on when playing the game.

The book is:

Mindscan by Robert J. Sawyer

The 4 pages you want to read are all that is of Chapter 2.

some excerpt from that chapter:

"from the moment the synthetic body is activated, there will be two of you-two entities who each feel they are you.

...In your own mental picture of yourself, which one do you consider the real you: the one that suffers aches and pains, the one that has trouble sleeping through the night, the one that is frail and old? or the vigorous you, the you in full possession of all your mental and physical faculties?

...the human mind is nothing but software running on the hardware we call the brain.

...consider the fact that the atoms that make up your body are completely replaced every seven years: there's not one bit of the you who was once a baby that still exists; it's all been replaced.

What matters is the continuity of being....

I'm sure that even by my few quote's you now have a better idea of the concept.

So the only question is when can we start actually doing this?! I mean, I might not be able to go on but I know that my copied self would want to and what if we could have a copy of those we know and love around long after they died?!

Eclipse Phase is a pen & paper roleplaying game of post-apocalyptic transhuman conspiracy and horror.

An "eclipse phase" is the period between when a cell is infected by a virus and when the virus appears within the cell and transforms it. During this period, the cell does not appear to be infected, but it is.

Players take part in a cross-faction secret network dubbed Firewall that is dedicated to counteracting "existential risks" — threats to the existence of transhumanity, whether they be biowar plagues, self-replicating nanoswarms,
