As the hidden server on Decator finally yields its secrets, the sentinels realize Marzuk has uncovered far more than outdated corporate strategy. Buried alongside Monolith’s pre-Fall plans is a digital presence tied directly to the company’s lost legacy—an ego that remembers a world before everything burned.
Back aboard the courier ship, the team faces a new kind of problem: what do you do with someone who woke up after the apocalypse inside a box? With Marzuk already seeing opportunity and leverage, Hex, Nyal, and Sava must decide how much truth to share, how much access to allow, and how far they’re willing to bend their Firewall obligations for a being that might be victim, asset, or something far more dangerous.
As the ship begins the long journey back toward Extropia, the stakes shift from “What did we find?” to “Who gets to own it?”—and whether any choice they make can avoid lighting the fuse on a second catastrophe.
About the Chronicle
Eclipse Phase – The Black Spot is a transhuman sci-fi thriller set after the Fall, where Firewall sentinels quietly work to prevent another catastrophic event. This story follows a small cell dispatched to investigate a rumored pre-Fall data cache—one that could be priceless, corrupted, or catastrophically compromised.
Built for mystery, tension, and shifting allegiances, The Black Spot explores what happens when valuable knowledge resurfaces from a world the Titans nearly destroyed—and what Firewall must do to keep history from repeating itself.

With Marzuk now confident in their abilities, the sentinels begin preparations for the journey into the main belt. Securing a fast courier ship, assembling the right gear, and navigating Extropia’s reputation-driven economy quickly become their first tests of teamwork. Contracts are negotiated, favors called in, and equipment quietly acquired—all while maintaining the delicate balance between their Firewall covers and their client’s growing trust.
As the journey begins, days blur together in microgravity. Long stretches of downtime give way to uneasy conversations, glimpses into each other’s pasts, and the subtle tension that always lingers when a team of strangers is bound by secrets. When they finally reach the unmarked asteroid and locate the hidden site, the team uncovers a buried structure that raises more questions than answers.
Now, at the edge of known space with the object exposed, the next step becomes clear: access whatever is sealed inside. But out here, far from help and surrounded by silence, the line between opportunity and danger grows increasingly thin.

On Extropia—a hollowed-out asteroid where contracts matter more than laws—three Firewall sentinels answer a quiet call for help. A meticulous data archaeologist named Marzuk has arrived with a lead: a pre-Fall backup server tied to a long-dead corporation. Valuable, dangerous, or both, the find could hold technology untouched since the Fall itself.
But before any excavation can begin, Marzuk needs a team he can trust—security, expertise, and someone who understands how to navigate Extropia’s microgravity markets without losing their footing. As Sava, Hex, and Nyal make first contact, they face the puzzle of earning his confidence while concealing their true allegiances. And with the entire mission destined to be recorded as XP for provenance, every move must be played carefully.
Episode One sets the stage in a place where reputation is currency, every deal has fine print, and the shadow of old Titan tech is never far behind.

Deep beneath the surface of Jedi, the gatecrashers force their way into a vast alien necropolis—a place where honored dead are displayed with care, and the less fortunate are stacked in quiet, mass graves. As Whisper studies long-faded causes of death and the team gathers priceless xeno-cultural samples, Shrike’s brush with a small native creature turns disturbingly personal, twisting instinct and loyalty in ways no one expected. With tunnels collapsing, traps venting superheated gas, and skittering predators closing in, the team has to choose what to save, what to leave behind, and how much of themselves they’re willing to spend just to make it back through the gate in time.
About the Chronicle
Eclipse Phase – Better on the Inside is a gatecrashing campaign using Eclipse Phase Second Edition, following a small team of transhumans sent to explore a newly discovered tunnel complex beyond a Pandora Gate. The series leans into what Eclipse Phase does best: strange worlds, risky missions, and the blurred line between scientific discovery and existential horror.
As the team ventures further from the safety of Pandora and deeper into alien structures, they’re forced to confront not just what happened here long ago, but what it means to seek a “better place” when transhumanity itself is still recovering from near-extinction.

On Saturn’s moon Pandora, three gatecrashers step up for a first-in mission that promises both danger and opportunity. Whisper, an experienced async explorer looking for meaning beyond crowded habitats; Shrike, a soldier in a Fury morph trying to outrun a bloody reputation from the Fall; and Spike, a debt-ridden gambler sleeved into a synth morph, all walk into the original Pandora Gate bound for an uncharted tunnel system on the distant world of Jedi.
On the other side, they find more than just rock and ice. Ancient, carefully carved stone chambers, alien murals depicting a six-limbed culture, and mummified sentries frozen in place hint at a civilization that planned for survival—and still failed. With limited time before the gate reopens and only fragmentary data to guide them, the team must balance curiosity, caution, and their own clashing instincts as they take their first steps deeper into the dark.

Join us as Slavek and Tilmann go through what character creation for Eclipse Phase 2nd Edition look like.
About the Chronicle
Brian’s Diaries serves as a more introspective sister series—part journal, part commentary, part look behind the curtain. In each entry, Chris reflects on his experiences as a storyteller, podcaster, and creator within the Twin Cities by Night community. He also interviews people who are involved in the gaming community for their insights too.
Episodes explore what it means to run long-term chronicles, build living worlds, collaborate with players, and carry the emotional and creative weight of horror storytelling. The tone is honest and personal, sometimes humorous, sometimes somber, always authentic. Whether discussing past games, real-life challenges, or lessons learned through years of running narrative-heavy campaigns, Brian’s Diaries offers a rare, open look at the person behind the stories.
