We haven't shown off the artwork for the back of the EP Gamemaster Screen yet, so here you go! (clicky for embiggening):
This is another Stephen Martiniere piece, depicting a group of Firewall agents having an unfortunate run-in with a fractal -- a bush robot left behind by the TITANs -- on Mars. That's Olympus Mons and the space elevator in the background.
We asked neuroscientist and prominent transhumanist Anders Sandberg to review Eclipse Phase, and he kindly obliged. Thanks Anders! If you haven't seen it, Anders maintains a noteworthy collection of transhumanist links and resources, as well as some notes on his own RPG games.
The transhumanist-oriented H+ Magazine has an article on Eclipse Phase, interviewing Rob Boyle and Brian Cross about how various aspects of transhumanism tie into the game and setting. This was a fun interview for us, so pop on over to take a look, and check out the rest of their site while you're at it!
We're thrilled at the reaction to EP so far and the fun people seem to be having with the game and setting. For those of you who are thinking of starting up a game and wondering how character creation is here's a link to a thread at rpg.net where people are having a blast tossing out character concepts and then creating them. It's got a lot of good information on how certain things work and discussions of various morphs and skills.
It also has the King of Sparta, an open source morph entrepreneur, and more discussions of Surya goodness.
Rob Boyle and Brian Cross were interviewed by All Games Considered (who also won an ENnie this year!) at GenCon about Eclipse Phase. The interview goes over the basics of EP, the upcoming release schedule, the Creative Common license, and some background on Rob & Brian. The interview starts at 46:27.
