Eclipse Phase Games

All of our Eclipse Phase games are sold out, but you might be able to slide into them with a generic ticket, however this is at the gamemaster's discretion and running a solid game for the pre-registered players is their priority!

Rimward, Into the White, Site Updates, and the ENnies!

We know we've been quiet around here for a while, but a lot has been going on behind the scenes, and it's time for that work to come to light! Read on for info about Into the White, Rimward, and the ENnies!

Into the White

The opening fiction for Rimward, Into the White, is now available in PDF, ePub, and mobi formats. Written by Jack Graham, it sets the tone for what you can expect in the outer system. It is also available on Amazon's Kindle Store.

“Something put a fist full of fractal branching digits through his chest and took apart enough of his vital organs to kill him.”

The mysterious death of a scientist on the TITAN-altered moon Iapetus leads to an investigation of the research station's personnel that eventually reveals one of the moon's dark secrets.

Rimward

The news everyone has been waiting for, Rimward is complete. We will be releasing the PDF on Wednesday, July 25. That's this Wednesday!

Finally you will get answers to your most burning questions, such as:

Rimward will be 200 pages and done with the same high quality, full-color production values you've come to expect from Posthuman Studios. The PDF will be available through OneBookShelf for $10.00, PDFF+Hack Pack for $15.00, and a special, limited time, bundle of Rimward+Sunward pDFs for $17.00. That's right, you can have the entire solar system on your computer or mobile device for just $17.00! As always, Rimward will be released under a Creative Commons attribution-noncommercial-share alike license so you can freely redistribute and remix.

The ENnies

Finally, we are honored to have been nominated for an ENnie in the category of “Best Writing” for Panopticon this year, and we are in the "Best Publisher" category as well. We are up against some excellent competition and would simply ask that you vote for those products and companies you think deserve to be recognized. Voting is open now and you can vote at: https://www.ennie-awards.com/vote/.

And that's it for the news dump. Stay tuned over the next few weeks for Rimward previews and the Rimward release, and Gen Con news!

Why Eclipse Phase Should Be A Movie

We were surprised and happy to see this movies.com blog post last week on "Why the RPG 'Eclipse Phase' Should Become a Movie." From the post:

In fact, Eclipse Phase isn't just a RPG manual...it's one of the most original and exciting works of science fiction in recent years, even if it's essentially a game manual. When I look at the world depicted in Eclipse Phase, I see Ridley Scott. I see James Cameron. I see Arthur C. Clarke and Isaac Asimov. I also see HP Lovecraft, because Eclipse Phase is just as creepy as it is smart.
