I've GMd EP for several years now. "Mind the WMD" started as the first mission I ever ran for my first gaming group and eventually evolved into a ritual I now do to introduce any new group I GM for to the setting. I've now run the scenario about half a dozen times between 1e, homebrew ports to 2e, and most recently with the official conversion!

For starters it feels like more than a simple conversion. All the stats and solutions from the 1e version made the hop over, true, but new content was added to better emphasize 2e game mechanics and flesh out the scenario further than the old 1e version:

1) This is small but the updated layout greatly eases finding specific sections, courses of action, and icons to denote type of information is a great help when skimming back and forth for info. There are also several maps included for all major locations where action is going to happen, in day/night and grid/gridless versions.

2) New NPCs are listed and provided to the GM to use as leads or antagonists (those who read the 2e core rulebook's opening fiction, "Infamy" might even recognize a few of them given the location of the mission). All the better for making the world feel alive and giving you possible reoccurring acquaintances or enemies.

3) More detail is provided about using rep and favors to gain information as this is a much bigger gameplay mechanic in 2e. Even after having played a fair amount of 2e, it is still helpful to be reminded of the things someone can do with a major favor we might not immediately think about.

4) A threat that was previously lacking in detail now has several possible origins so a GM can better tie this adventure into all manner of followup missions. This mission is most easily performed by people who are usually close to Mars, the scum, or are firewall/criminal agents but can still be used as the primer or inserted into the middle of basically any campaign that takes place in Sol with a little effort.

5) My favorite addition hands down has to be the table of random slice-of-life events that players can stumble across on the Scum ship and when they're down on Mars. There are 21 events on each table that really help flesh out the setting players find themselves in and can be great for introducing new players to some of the stranger occurrences of everyday life as a transhuman. It's a small touch and largely inconsequential to the mission at large, but my group and I deeply enjoyed spending a whole session throwing axes with scum novacrabs while getting drunk as they waited for a favor to provide mission critical intel.

Overall, "Mind the WMD" showcases not only the setting dichotomy of hedonist autonomist vs ruthless hypercapitalist transhuman polities in a easily digestible manner but also prepares players for dealing with them both during missions and even shows what going off the grid for a job might entail. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to start up a new game (or add to an existing one) with a blast!

This is has become one of my favorite modules to run. The freedom to design what I want or need for the npcs helps me drive the story for each group I run it for.

It is also rather versatile in what path your group can take to reach the goals. A very nice introduction piece as well to some of the more political undertones that can happen in Eclipse Phase

A fantastic game with fantastic creators and a fantastic community behind it.

A great system if you want to play a game in the mood of Altered Carbon, Blade Runner, The Expanse, The Murderbot Diaries, The Paratwa Saga, Alien(s), or anything in the space-horror genre.

Don't get the print on demand of this pdf. Poor quality. Your better off printing it out and binding it yourself. Even better if you can find the PDF for free.

Left out some important parts that would have made this useful. Don't waste the cash, make your own by pulling pertinent parts out of the main book and print it yourself or take the PDF to any pay to print service.

Probably the best kickstarter I've backed, definitely the least flaky. I'm proud to have spent money on something I can get for free.

A solid update to a solid entry point. My players have mentioned how useful this guide is during play as a personal reference.

Don't be put off by the horror aspect, the game supports any number of stories and an amazingly diversity of character types. Fantastic ruleset, character creation is straight forward but open enough to reward system mastery. Combat is brutal, but characters are expected to be well rounded. Bodies as gear, and gear in a post scarcity setting, are handled well but some players will need to acclimate. The setting is rich and well built with a detailed recent history and diverse locations.

This game has become the definitive cyberpunk/sci-fi game for me over the past few years after I've been playing it. There is a good deal of detail in here and compared to the first edition a lot of gripes I had with mechanics are now fixed. Of course the 2nd ed isn't perfect either, but there are far more minor issues than what you'd usually find in other games. The content in and of itself is really good and the devs are supportive 9.5/10 would play again.

Eclipse Phase is a great and ambitious game without, unfortunately, a big campaign to support it. This book however provides a lot of good synopsis about a wide range of subjects. Highly recommanded for every new or experienced GM!

A decent translation of the weird and wonderful Eclipse Phase to the Fate System, though the switch does lose out on some of the custom nuance of base EP, and as this was a 1st Edition Port, it lacks any of the refinements new to EP 2nd Edition.

Detailed worldbuilding, focus on storytelling and fast combat make this one of the best RPGs out there. Does not mean that it is perfect(if DriveThru supported 4.25 or 4.5 out of 5 I would rate this as that), but the amount of content offered is very good, and the devs keep adding new content on a relatively frequent basis.

Long story short: EP first edition was great, EP second edition is even better.

It's a complex but much more elegant game now. No rule feels more complicated than necessary in this edition, but all nuances and flavours of the 1st edition are still here. Pools especially are a neat and exciting mechanic, clearly introduced to ease the 1st edition's crunch. Skills have been streamlined a little bit, too. The writing is very good throughout and the typesetting is amazing. I have never seen a cleaner, more neatly put together RPG book before. It's the same timeline and setting as in the first edition, so 99% of the 1st edition books are compatible with this one and the remaining 1% is easily convertible.

I really have no gripes with EP2 apart from quite a few typos, but that's just cosmetics and has improved significantly since the version 1.0 (we're currently at 1.3). This easily is one of the best RPG rulebooks out there, my experience as GM being with Warhammer (1,2, 4), DnD (3), Fading Suns, New World of Darkness (Vampire, Werewolf, Promethean), Call of Cthulhu (7), Tales from the Loop/Things from the Flood, Vaesen.

I could now proceed with praising the game world and how fascinating its intricate structure is, but the following quote from the book sums the whole up better than I ever could:

Eclipse Phase is an exploration of uncertain futures. This is more than a tabletop roleplaying game, it’s a detailed science fiction setting that thoroughly investigates issues that affect our future as a species.

If you like gritty, bold science fiction, this is as good as it gets. It's where hard science, politics, sociology and philosophy go hand in hand to help you create the best sf stories possible.

I can feel the glimpse of one of the best settings I've ever laid the eyes of my morph. Looking forward to the full game and the corollary manuals!

Cool stuff for the best faction in EP, gives some interesting adventure ideas.
