In case you haven't heard through other outlets Sunward went to the printers today. We don't have a street date yet but will let you know once we do!
Eclipse Phase wins Origins Award for Best RPG!
June 26th, at the Origins Game Fair, Eclipse Phase was announced as the best RPG of the year! Thanks to everyone involved in the nomination and voting process, especially the fans at Origins who voted directly for it!
Eclipse Phase on Amazon.com
Eclipse Phase is in stock on Amazon.com again! -- after less than a day back on the site, our sales rank is looking rather nice: #17,693 in Books and #35 in Books > Science Fiction & Fantasy (Beyond a ton of D&D and Pathfinder stuff ... not bad company to be in, really!)
Eclipse Phase Reprint Shipping!
Posthuman Studios is pleased to announce that the reprint of Eclipse Phase is working its way into game stores and chain bookstores. We are working with our new publishing partners, Sandstorm Productions, to get more product to you as soon as possible! We are following up the Eclipse Phase core book reprint with the Eclipse Phase Gamemaster Pack, and later this summer you'll see Sunward: The Inner System, our first sourcebook.
Eclipse Phase has garnered great reviews, critical praise, and fired up the imagination of all who have read it. Demand has been high since it went out of stock earlier this year, and we are very excited to make it available again -- but this is not the "second printing" we thought would happen. Without going into gory details, instead of the second printing with corrections coming off the presses ... an exact duplicate of the first printing was produced by our previous publisher. We didn't learn of this until after all the books were printed and shipping to the USA.
We regret this situation -- we always want to improve our books with each printing -- but we know that Eclipse Phase is a strong game and the first printing of the core rulebook was very solid. Please give your local store a call (or an email, or a facebook message however you talk to your store, do it!) and let them know it's back in stock! Eclipse Phase's stock number is PS+21000, and retailers can order it from Alliance, ACD or other great distributors.
Posthuman Studios and Sandstorm Productions Play Ball!
Lake Stevens, WA June 12th, 2010
“How’d you like to play dodgeball?”
There’s something to be said about flying into town for negotiations and getting taken directly to a parking lot game of dodgeball at midnight in Wicker Park, Chicago. When you’re in the gaming industry, work and play go hand in hand—you can’t make fun if you aren’t having it!
We’ve been fans of Eclipse Phase since it premiered. And just as big of fans of Rob, Adam, and Brian—the creative masterminds behind the ground-breaking transhumanist game. So when the opportunity came up to partner Sandstorm and Posthuman Studios, we jumped. (And threw down.)
You’ve gotten a taste of what Posthuman can create with Eclipse Phase—and we’re absolutely thrilled to be partnering with them to bring a full lineup of new Eclipse Phase books to fans in the coming year. We’re also very excited to be partnering with Posthuman to bring new games to the gaming market, such as the tongue-in-cheek card game of Celebrity Trash Culture, Paparazzi!
We look forward to our partnership with Posthuman and everything the future holds in store for us–whether that’s resleeving our digital consciousness, using a telephoto lens to snap indiscriminate photographs, or playing another round of street dodgeball.
