A statement from Posthuman Studios about the ongoing genocide in Palestine

Posthuman Studios logo. Self Evolving System

There is no such thing as an apolitical business. Eclipse Phase Second Edition includes the following on page 19:

"A Note on Politics
Eclipse Phase delves into numerous political themes; in fact, we start with the premise that everything is political. Like all authors, we write from the perspective of our personal biases. Our specific lens is radical, liberatory, inclusive, and antifascist. If you support bigotry or authoritarianism in any form, Eclipse Phase is not the game for you."

If you know anything about us at all, you probably already assumed we support a free Palestine. We've never been shy about our politics. Therefore, we issue the following statement and encourage other companies to do the same:

Posthuman Studios stands in support of the Palestinian people and opposes the ongoing genocide perpetrated by the state of Israel with the full complicit support of the United States and Canada. We condemn zionism as a colonialist and fascist ideology. The attempt to label any criticism of Israel as anti-semitic is a dishonest diversion. Likewise, conflating all Jewish people with zionism is an inherently anti-semitic idea. We believe resistance against Israel's colonialism, apartheid, and genocide is justified and necessary.
Free Palestine!

We will be donating a portion of our income this year to appropriate aid organizations.

Eclipse Phase & Posthuman Studios 2024

Fresh from our recent Character Options BackerKit, here's a group of updates about what's going on in 2024!

Fulfilling Character Options

Backers have received the Character Options digital version and a corrected update is on the way. That corrected update is what will be printed, and we aim to have the book at the printer by mid-January.

Eclipse Phase Character Options

We will open BackerKit for order fulfillment and pre-orders after the books ship from printer to us. We anticipate this to be in March 2024.

Beyond Character Options

We'll have a couple small titles coming out in the next few months, and then we'll be dealing with all the logistics of fulfilling Character Options and the Morph Recognition Deck.

After that there's the NPC File 2 book to look forward to, along with Your Whispering Muse, the "Space Combat" book we've been working on via Patreon, and a revamp to the very first Eclipse Phase adventure: Mind the WMD, from the first edition Quick-Start Rules.

Character Options BackerKit: Closes on Tuesday!

The Character Options BackerKit is heading into the last few days, so now is the time to support this campaign and the future of Eclipse Phase. All backers already have access to the Character Options digital edition so you can start making new characters immediately. The book is finished and will be going to print shortly after the campaign closes so we plan to deliver books in the first quarter of 2024!

Character Options brings lifepath character creation to Second Edition, as well as updating and adding new morphs into the game, so you truly have a body for every possible situation or scene!

The campaign has fully-funded Character Options in hardcover, as well as an upgraded Morph Recognition Deck.

A lot of campaigns are loaded-up with stretch goals, but this one isn't. After we've produced Character Options and the Morph Recognition Deck, funds from this campaign will be used to reprint Eclipse Phase Second Edition in the glorious hardcover cloth bookmarked form you expect from us at Posthuman Studios.

It's possible that we'll have to raise the print price on this reprint, so all supporters of this campaign that add Eclipse Phase Second Edition hardcover to their rewards will lock in the current price.

There's an easy backer level that includes both Character Options and Eclipse Phase Second Edition, add-ons for the Morph Recognition Deck, and also a bunch of merchandise — including the brand new Octomorph t-shirt.

Thank you for your support!
