[QUOTE="kigmatzomat, post: 9637644, member: 9254"] That's kind of Eclipse Phase. Short form of EP is that Earth got taken over by magic AI nanobots (Titans) who aren't far off from Earthdawn Horrors (the game is basically Earthdawn 2070). Humanity was on the edge of sci-fi "post scarcity" utopia. Nuclear fusion, nanotech "cornucopia" machines, pseudo-immortality through gengineered bodies and being able to back up your brain. But before that really happened, it all went to drek. Earth became a place out of nightmares and only a relatively small number of people in space who didn't quite have enough resources without Earth to rely on. People got insular and weird. The timelines dont make sense, but if you assume it's like 100 years post-Earth, its a little more coherent. Lots of weirdness, cultists, and Mad Science. Additionally some Gates were found, or maybe built, by Titans. But they are essentially military research stations that may be full of scary monsters. Or, you know, bunnies. Who knows. It gives you that option to run Stargate SG1 or even Thundarr the Barbarian on a world full of Titan tech. EP is theoretically back to the edge of post-scarcity, except Titan tech still turns up and does horrible things, and some humans now have "magic" powers and they tend to go crazy a lot, which might be some dormant Titan plan waiting for humanity to reach some density.
