Excellent sell sheet. How can you go wrong with an octopus and a baboon going at it thunderdome style?

Re: Panopticon Sell Sheet Up

Hmm, I would like to get some more details. Will specific habitats be mentioned or general rules? I would be interested in more specifics ones. For now, as much as I like EP this doesn't sound THAT exciting.

I don't think you could do a WHOLE book on vague details. Plus from past books that doesn't seem their style.

Yea no need for whole books touching on vague topics like. Panopticon Vol 14 1.Why's everything so smooth? (The guide to wireless household appliances and the three finishes you can get them in.) 2. Dukes of Mars (Just some good ole Barsoomians Never meanin' no harm. Beats all you never saw. Been in trouble with the Hypercorps Since the day they was born.) 3. Uplifting Fruits and Vegetables. ( How to stay "fresh" and the exsurgent vegan threat. )

'grabs at his monitor in futility' CB wants! More information on uplifts is always welcome. Cannot wait. Although saying that I have hardly gotten to play with all the fun stuff Gatecrashing gave us. Dilemma!

Re: Panopticon Sell Sheet Up

I'm curious at what the Octopus is holding in his 3 o'clock tentacle. That book is bread and butter for me, as i involves all my fave elements in the EP setting

Re: Panopticon Sell Sheet Up

To interest a friend in the game all I had to do was show him the picture of the Octopus/Chimp knife fight. That's really all you need.

Re: Panopticon Sell Sheet Up

I absolutely love the idea for this book. One of the best parts of the setting is the absolute berth of locations, technology and cultures that permeate the Eclipse Phase universe. Unfortunately, as a fledgling setting, it lacks established material. Such flavor books go a long way to establishing said material without forcing you guys to release mini-books that you can't hard-copy publish and have the potential to have lesser returns. These elements, while not being deep enough to constitute a full book, definitely constitute a portion to some sort of bigger "flavor compilation" book. I just hope there are more of these Panopticon books in the works as well.

That right there is my new high water mark for illustrations. Shame it's too wide to really make into wallpaper without serious cropping.

Stephan Martiniere does the cover art for all of our books. He is awesome.

The habitat section focuses more on habitats in general than specific habs. It talks about the different types of habitats, how they're set up, how the various subsystems function, and what living on a habitat is like. The idea was to bring habitats to life as a setting for players. None of us live on space stations in real life, so it can be a bit challenging to use them as scenario settings because we don't have that degree of familiarity. A big chunk of the section was written by Justin Kugler, who happens to be a payload engineer for NASA, so let's just say he knows what he's talking about when it comes to details. We are looking at doing a PDF project or set of PDF projects that will present different habitats in detail with maps, etc., but that's not finalized yet.

Not yet. As always, when we have a firm release date, we'll post it. :)

Following Adam on Twitter it's clear that he's busting his balls getting - presumably this - ready, so don't give up hope yet. It sounds like it's getting close.

There seems to be some kind of trouble at Sandstorm. I wonder what this means to EP.

Re: Panopticon Sell Sheet Up

Just read something about Sandstorm's troubles. I also hope this doesn't impact the game too heavily. I guess we'll see.
