Three new Electronic Eclipse Phase Releases Coming July 28th!

Posthuman Studios has three kick-ass Eclipse Phase titles coming your way as PDFs on Wednesday, July 28th: NPC File 1: Prime, the highly-anticipated Sunward: The Inner System, and the Sunward Hack Pack!

NPC File 1: Prime

An electronic exclusive, NPC File 1: Prime presents over thirty original NPCs and some additional variants with a description and full stats; ready for use as opposition or player characters.

Two files are included: One with all the NPCs in a typical layout format, and a second with half-page character sheets for each NPC.

NPC File 1: Prime will be $5 and is Creative Commons (BY-NC-SA) licensed.

Sunward: The Inner System

Eight days before its debut at Gen Con (yes, there will be a Sunward ... well, many Sunwards ... at Gen Con!), you'll be able to get your hands on the electronic version of Sunward!

Sunward details the inner part of the solar system:

  • Can you take the heat? Find out on Mercury, the Vulcanoids, or dive into the sun's corona with the Solarians
  • A new star is rising on Venus, join in the intrigue as the Morningstar Constellation maneuvers for influence.
  • Return to the cradle of transhumanity and explore the blasted, but not quite abandoned, ruins of Earth.
  • Keepers of many of our cultural traditions, the Lunar-Lagrange Alliance stands watch over our shattered homeworld.
  • A red storm is rising on Mars as the traditional masters of the red planet face an upswell of Barsoomian patriotism.
  • The silent masters of the inner system, the Planetary Consortium, reach out to touch all with a velvet glove.
  • Plus new Morphs, gear, and sample characters.

Sunward will be a 192 page PDF (with layers, a hyperlinked Table of Contents, a hyperlinked index, and internal hyperlinks) and will sell for $10. Sunward is Creative Commons (BY-NC-SA) licensed.

Sunward Hack Pack

The Sunward Hack Pack includes the Sunward PDF and the following:

  • Sunward Cover art and chapter-opening artwork as 150DPI images.
  • Print-friendlier version of the Inner System Map, and Adobe Illustrator files for the original and modified map.

All you need to make your own contribution to the Inner System—Creative Commons (BY-NC-SA) licensed!

GenCon Interviews

If any bloggers, podcasters, or other new media journalistas out there will be at GenCon and feel like poking and prodding at me, Brian, Adam, and/or Jack, we'll all be there too and can make ourselves available for your examinations. We'd be happy to talk about Eclipse Phase, upcoming projects, Posthuman Studios, the game industry, transhumanism, and politics of various persuasions. If you want the juicy stuff, you are encouraged to buy us drinks. Just sayin'.

In all seriousness, we're starting to set our schedules for the con, so please contact us soon if you want to set up a  time!

Resources Page Updates

Just finished a minor re-organization and update to the Resources page. We've provided a handy menu to the sections, moved the Quick-Start Rules to their own page (https://eclipsephase.com/qsr of course), and added a number of new links to fan-created material, among other changes. We're always interested in seeing the work of our fans — we like to see that Creative Commons license put to use--so if there's anything else out there we've missed, please let us know!

We have some other website updates in the works, including a re-organization of the forums, so stay tuned!
