over 4 years ago – Mon, Oct 05, 2020 at 07:44:48 PM

Leaves are beginning to fall, and it's sure to be a long winter this year. Let's make and play a lot of games!

Eclipse Phase Second Edition Hack Pack

The Eclipse Phase Second Edition Hack Pack contains:

• Eclipse Phase Second Edition cover, chapter-opening, and other artwork as 150DPI images. (88 PNG files)
• All Sixteen Sample Characters (16 PNG files)
• Pool Icons in multiple variants (18 PNG files)
• Faction, Hypercorp, and Interface icons (35 PNG files)

In addition to the new Hack Pack, we've updated our bundle of every Hack Pack — every Hack Pack at a 50% discount, including the new EP2 Hack Pack!

Transhuman and After the Fall via Print on Demand

Transhuman — the player’s guide with package-buy creation for first edition — is now available via print on demand. Joining it is After the Fall, the Eclipse Phase fiction anthology edited by Jaym Gates.

Both titles are available in their original printings directly from us, as well: Transhuman and After the Fall.

Incoming: Eclipse Phase Complete: USB Digital Archive

This reward is currently in production, now with an expected delivery to our office in early October. From there shipping will be a fast turnaround as 95% of the orders for it are singular USB keys: slap a label on the envelope, dunk a Complete Archive into it, and it will be on the way!

Next Up: Xenovore and Xenovore's Fate

We're in the layout and final editing/development stages of both Xenovore and Xenovore's Fate. As with Overrun, we'll release the PDFs and the print versions will be available for pre-order at the same time.

On the Horizon 

* Development and final layout on the EP2 Condensed Player's Guide (Kickstarter stretch goal)

* Wiki wiki wiki! (Kickstarter stretch goal)

* Your Whispering Muse (Kickstarter stretch goal)

* More print on demand backstock titles

On the Side

Posthuman Adam has been messing around with some cyberpunk-genre stuff, and the first release in his Freon Skies series is available:Nice Things the Organleggers Left Behind. It's an extensive d100 random table with some additional guidelines and ideas for using organleggers in a cyberpunk-genre game — mutants & magic optional!

August Update: Revised QSR Available, Eclipse Phase Complete pre-orders open!
over 4 years ago – Tue, Aug 04, 2020 at 02:57:38 AM

It's August already — or, is it only August?!

Updated Quick-Start Rules w/Acrimony

The Eclipse Phase Second Edition Quick-Start Rules w/Acrimony update is now available, still for free download, of course! All the rules material has been tweaked to be in-line with the final EP2 rules, and we touched up Acrimony with better GMing information, plus updated the Firewall team to include the two-page version of the sample characters for faster play.

If you've already downloaded the EP2 QSR, the new version is in your DriveThruRPG library. if not, download it here!

The release of the updated QSR was the final major piece to another puzzle, so the project moving into the next slot is:

Next Up: Eclipse Phase Complete: USB Digital Archive

This add-on will go to manufacturing the second week of August and we hope to start shipping it by late August or early September. A 32-GB caribiner-style USB key with every single digital item we've ever released for Eclipse Phase for less than half the price of buying them individually, but it won't be available for long!

If you backed this kickstarter at a level that gets the USB key or you added it on in BackerKit: log into your BackerKit account and verify that your mailing address is up-to-date.

If you didn't back but you want the Eclipse Phase Complete: USB Digital Archive: until August 10th, you can pre-order from our online store — we're going to produce enough to cover Kickstarter add-ons, pre-orders, and a little overstock to handle replacement/damaged units. 

On the Horizon 

• Development and final layout on the EP2 Condensed Player's Guide (Kickstarter stretch goal)
• Development and layout on Xenovore and Xenovore Fate (Kickstarter stretch goal)
• Wiki wiki wiki! (Kickstarter stretch goal)

EP2 Kickstarter June Update
over 4 years ago – Fri, Jun 26, 2020 at 09:17:18 PM

A few things of note as June is about to turn into July.

Office Clean-Up Sale! Studios June Update

Check out our Office Clean-Up Sale to get limited quantity preview copies of Router Case Files, Eclipse Phase proof/lightly damaged copies, other tabletop miscellany — and please, someone take this Apple Mighty Mouse that Adam hates.

Pre-Order Overrun Print + PDF!

Until midnight Monday June 29th you can still pre-order Overrun and get a PDF copy for free! The print version of the expanded EP2 Character Pack (now 36 pages!) is also available for pre-order until then.

We think Overrun is the best-presented we've ever released, with plenty of tools to make it easier for GMs to run. We look forward to it playing out on your tables!

Overrun is already printed and waiting to be shipped out, and EP2 Character Pack is shipping to us now.

Expanded Character Pack: Updated Free PDF!

Taking a cue from the sample character pages our convention-event organizers created, we've updated the EP2 Character Pack — giving each character sheet a front and back (and an extra front/back for characters with access to Psi!).

Designed to be folded, spindled, and mutilated, the print version of the character pack also includes the EP2 Rules Primer printed on the inside of the cover. 

Upcoming Quick-Start Rules + Acrimony Update

Next up  is an update to the EP2 Quick-Start Rules + Acrimony adventure, bringing it in line with the latest errata tweaks and updating the presentation to make it even better to run!

Coming Up

• Manufacturing of the USB Key backer reward, containing everything we've ever released for Eclipse Phase up until and including the revised EP2 QSR. 
• Development and final layout on the EP2 Condensed Player's Guide (Kickstarter stretch goal)
• Development and layout on Xenovore and Xenovore Fate (Kickstarter stretch goal)

Print Pre-Orders for Overrun and more!
over 4 years ago – Sat, May 09, 2020 at 06:37:08 AM

Overrun, one of the stretch goals ("Introductory Adventure") from the Eclipse Phase Second Edition Kickstarter is now available! Backers, see this update for information about your downloads!

We spent a lot of time working on Overrun — because we love good adventures, and we know reading and running adventures is how many people learn how a game works. We've broken out paragraphs of text to clearly call out when players could/should make rolls, when stress tests could happen, key information the GM shouldn't forget, and more. We're eager to hear what you think about Overrun and the updated adventure presentation!

Take a look at the PDF preview of Overrun (If you're a GM, not a player — don't read ahead!

Print + PDF Pre-Orders!

We are opening direct pre-orders for Print + PDF combos of Overrun, and also for print versions of an upcoming expanded version of the EP2 Character Pack — a title for you to fold, spindle, and mutilate. We plan on sending both books to print by May 22nd and ship them to you in early June. The first fifty pre-orders will all get an Eclipse Phase art print!

Direct pre-orders are extra important right now, so we can order accurate print runs. For these two projects, we're working with a printer that we've done some very solid test runs with and had great service from. The books will be printed on the inside covers to sneak some additional stuff in for you as well.

If you're purely digital, Overrun is also up on DriveThruRPG — and the EP2 Character Pack PDF is free to download!

Coming Up

As always we have a bunch of projects in various stages of writing/development/production.

• The expanded EP2 Character Pack PDF will be available soon — final layout and proofing TODO.
• Development and layout updates to the Eclipse Phase Second Edition Quick-Start Rules.
• Development and final layout on the EP2 Condensed Player's Guide (Kickstarter stretch goal)
• Development and layout on Xenovore and Xenovore Fate (Kickstarter stretch goal)

That should keep us busy for a little bit! As always, feel free to get in touch with us at [email protected] for customer support issues, and [email protected] for game-related stuff, or join our official discord!
