(with apologies to Iain M. Banks and John Carmack)

The ancient, relcusive, and fabulously wealthy entertainment mogul Christian Carmack III, well-known for his love of total immersion net roleplaying games and Unreality-TV, which his company Id-iom, has always led the world in, has sent an invitation to a select group of world-famous Unreality-TV game playas to partake in a special birthday game for his personal pleasure.

You are one of that select few. With trepidation, for this man is a giant in your field, you meet your fellow playas at the Mars Hilton in preparation for the translation to Carmnak's mansion on Phobos.

Also designed to introduce players to the latest Steve Jackson Games' GURPS (Generic Universal Role Playing System) Fourth Edition and GURPS:Transhuman Space in particular
