Gencon Update Day 3

We set a new record for selling out 30 seconds.  Also we'd like you to know that selling out is overrated and we never thought we'd be had so cheaply.  Ha.  But seriously.  We're having a great time running demos and meeting all of the people who want to know more about the game. 

Also some things you may or may not see in EP in the near-future. 
- nanobees!
- jetpack and rocket equipped bears
- space kraken (with neotenic riders!)
- alien autopsies
- sloptopus (credit to Jaqui)
- magical ponies
- insect people
- transgenic eel pitfights
- Klouches
- obsolete European political parties (thanks Facebook, we love you)

Gencon Update

Just a reminder for those of you at Gencon.  We'll be running short demos out of the booth all day as long as the exhibitor hall is open.

Additionally we'll be running longer intro games and I'll be running one tomorrow from noon to 2.  Stop by and say hi to us either at the booth or at the demos. 

Finally we will be selling 25 books per day on a first come, first served basis.  And yes, they are real.  I present book pr0n as proof.

Welcome Boingers!

A huge thanks to Cory and the folks at BoingBoing for their post on Eclipse Phase. To folks who are just now checking us out, here are a few quick links to get you started on what EP is about:

A limited number (100) of the Eclipse Phase Core Rulebooks will be released at GenCon this week. We don't have a confirmed street release date yet for when the book will be in stores, but we will post here when we do. The books are currently being shipped from overseas, so we are at least a month away. We will be taking pre-orders soon, the PDF of the book will go on sale soon, and we will also be posting a free Quick Start Rules PDF in the near future. Subscribe to our RSS feed or twitter for updates. If you have any other questions, feel free to hop on over to our forums! Thanks!

EP Core Books at GenCon

You've been waiting in suspense to hear if we were going to have Eclipse Phase at GenCon ... and I can now say it's confirmed: we will be releasing the EP Core Rulebook at GenCon! We have a limited amount available, so we'll only be selling 25/day, probably with a limit of 2 per customer. So come by the Catalyst Game Labs booth (#803) nice and early in the morning, when the hall opens, to make sure and get one!

I'm pretty psyched to finally get the book in my hands myself!

Before you ask -- I don't have anything else confirmed about the PDF, pre-orders, street release date, or QSR yet. Thanks for your patience, everyone. As soon as I have the info, I'll post it here and share it with you!
