August Entry : Lost Hope

[cereth]

I was checking out this month's entries when I was hit with a sudden bout of inspiration. For several months now, I have been obsessed with a game called Eclipse Phase. For those who are unfamiliar, it can best be described as a science fiction/conspiracy/horror game. It's kind of like Cthulhu in space, really.

I really like starting campaigns out "In Medias Res" and this works particularly well in a game like Eclipse Phase where mystery, secrets, and threat of the unknown are very prevalent. So, the idea for this campaign starts out with the characters investigating the ruins of a martian habitat that was destroyed over a decade ago. I wanted a map that would not only illustrate the habitat itself, but also the surrounding area where the early portion of the campaign will likely take place.

The overall theme of the campaign will revolve around the four horsemen of the apocalypse. The ruined habitat "Lost Hope" will be the jumping off point for the first of these, pestilence. The characters will have to figure out what is going on and stop a particularly nasty plague from spreading from habitat to habitat.

Anyways, this is what I've got so far...the blank space will likely contain a lot of text.
