This may seem stupid I apologise. But i know epic and steam have a bad history of making cross client play difficult such as borderlands. So I just wanted to ask if its possible for the 2 clients to play with each other.
Hello, I'm attempting to play epic games for X-wing. I've done my best to research everything I should read and reference ahead of time, but to say it was straight-forward would be an outright lie. What I've found:
Epic theatre (German: episches Theater) is a theatrical movement that arose in the early to mid-20th century from the theories and practice of a number of theatre practitioners who responded to the political climate of the time through the creation of new political dramas. Epic theatre is not meant to refer to the scale or the scope of the work, but rather to the form that it takes.[1] Epic theatre emphasizes the audience's perspective and reaction to the piece through a variety of techniques that deliberately cause them to individually engage in a different way.[2] The purpose of epic theatre is not to encourage an audience to suspend their disbelief, but rather to force them to see their world as it is.
Near the end of his career, Brecht preferred the term "dialectical theatre" to describe the kind of theatre he pioneered. From his later perspective, the term "epic theatre" had become too formal a concept to be of use anymore. According to Manfred Wekwerth, one of Brecht's directors at the Berliner Ensemble at the time, the term refers to the "'dialecticising' of events" that this approach to theatre-making produces.[9]
Epic theatre is distinct from other forms of theatre, particularly the early naturalistic approach and later "psychological realism" developed by Konstantin Stanislavski. Like Stanislavski, Brecht disliked the shallow spectacle, manipulative plots, and heightened emotion of melodrama; but where Stanislavski attempted to engender real human behaviour in acting through the techniques of Stanislavski's system and to absorb the audience completely in the fictional world of the play, Brecht saw this type of theatre as escapist. Brecht's own social and political focus was distinct, too, from surrealism and the Theatre of Cruelty, as developed in the writings and dramaturgy of Antonin Artaud, who sought to affect audiences viscerally, psychologically, physically, and irrationally. While both produced 'shock' in the audience, epic theatre practices would also include a subsequent moment of understanding and comprehension.
While not invented by Brecht, the Verfremdungseffekt, known in English as the "estrangement effect" or the "alienation effect", was made popular by Brecht and is one of the most significant characteristics of epic theatre.[10]
Some of the ways the Verfremdungseffekt can be achieved is by having actors play multiple characters, rearrange the set in full view of the audience, and "break the fourth wall" by speaking to the audience. The use of a narrator in The Caucasian Chalk Circle is another example of Verfremdungseffekt at work.[2] Lighting can also be used to emulate the effect. For example, flooding the theatre with bright lights (not just the stage) and placing lighting equipment on stage can encourage the audience to fully acknowledge that the production is merely a production instead of reality.
As with the principle of dramatic construction involved in the epic form of spoken drama amalgamated or what Brecht calls "non-Aristotelian drama", the epic approach to play production utilizes a montage technique of fragmentation, contrast and contradiction, and interruptions. While the French playwright Jean Genet articulates a very different world view in his dramas from that found in Brecht's, in a letter to the director Roger Blin on the most appropriate approach to staging his The Screens in 1966, he advises an epic approach to its production:
Each scene, and each section within a scene, must be perfected and played as rigorously and with as much discipline as if it were a short play, complete in itself. Without any smudges. And without there being the slightest suggestion that another scene, or section within a scene, is to follow those that have gone before.[11]
Historicization is also employed in order to draw connections from a historical event to a similar current event. This can be seen in the plays Mother Courage and Her Children and The Good Person of Szechwan, both written by Brecht, which comment on a current social or political issue using historical contexts.[12]
Brecht, too, advised treating each element of a play independently, like a music hall turn that is able to stand on its own.Common production techniques in epic theatre include a simplified, non-realistic scenic design offset against a selective realism in costuming and props, as well as announcements or visual captions that interrupt and summarize the action. Brecht used comedy to distance his audiences from the depicted events and was heavily influenced by musicals and fairground performers, putting music and song in his plays.
Acting in epic theatre requires actors to play characters believably without convincing either the audience or themselves that they have "become" the characters. This is called Gestus when an actor takes on the physical embodiment of a social commentary. Actors frequently address the audience directly out of character ("breaking the fourth wall") and play multiple roles.[12] Brecht thought it was important that the choices the characters made were explicit, and tried to develop a style of acting wherein it was evident that the characters were choosing one action over another. For example, a character could say, "I could have stayed at home, but instead I went to the shops." This he called "fixing the Not / But element".

The title says it all, really. I'd like to hear some opinions on why epic level play a la Epic Level Handbook is broken. I ask because I've never bothered with epic-level games myself and now a player of mine is asking if I'll run an epic-level game.
I've been playing in a long-running albeit seldom meeting epic campaign for the past five years or so. This might be an even better example of 3rd Ed. epic play because the ruleset we're using (still) is 3.0. We started at 16th level and we are now at 24th (I think). It's been a twice a year gig where we head up to a cabin in the woods and just game it up for 3-4 days. We're set to meet up again at the end of next month where we'll be finishing our current DM's campaign and then I'll be picking up the reigns for the next one which will be Pathfinder rules starting at level 15. Anyway, background aside I don't think epic play is 'broken' per se. The Epic Level Handbook is actually a great resource with a lot of good info specific to running epic campaigns.
It does certainly take a higher level of energy for a DM to run an epic game because of how many options are available to the players. With the higher level spells that tend to be "game-breaking" such as teleport, wish, polymorph, etc... there are good ways to handle them, and then there are house rules. Pathfinder has fixed these as far as I'm concerned.
Combat can be a long drawn-out process with iterative attacks, and again, a plethora of options. There are ways to speed things up that work at any level such as having the players determine what they are going to do when it isn't their turn, and then roll for their hits/damage beforehand. One houserule that I picked up from Trailblazer is to reduce the iterative attacks to two with minor penalties to attack. It was designed to speed up play primarily, but also since the system was designed for players to hit often and for lots of damage, it helps smooth things out.
I remember the first session we played, I one-shotted a Nightmare Beast (MMII), the first boss in the campaign with Disintegrate. Again that was 3.0 edition rules, but man was that satisfying! Don't be afraid of the characters dominating some encounters. They are epic! Make sure to put them up against more than one or two monsters, or give them a lot of extra HP and don't afraid to make them tough. Trailblazer has some neat rules for elite and solo monsters which might help with this if you're interested.
It definitely requires an experienced DM to handle epic play, but if you have the motivation and the energy, it can be extremely rewarding. I look back on our 3.0 campaign and there were a few encounters we had where I genuinely felt we were screwed, however after we overcame them, I realized that we were fine. Either way I've had a blast rolling 24d6 damage with an enhanced Ruin spell (Epic level handbook), and yet the creature keeps on coming. Even if it died outright, the satisfying nature of being that powerful is a lot of fun in itself.
