Re: Eclipse Phase Panel at Gencon 2011
<3, thank you Mr. Payton. SPOILERS News: Transhuman, a players companion, most likely for next year. New character generation options (Maybe one like Travellers) and a PACKs one. Not confirmed. New traits, new morphs. Advise on how to play different character (How to play as an Infomorph, how Uplifts think). Addons to Infomorphs that work like implants/enhancements. Maybe. After Transhuman, a book called Firewall, that will detail the Org. What Prometheans are all about. Different factions within Firewall. Maybe some new threats, unsure. After that, a campaign book. They have a few that they are working on. From the sounds of it, it sounds like the kind of thing they did with Feral Cities (EDIT: Is Feral Cities the one about Tempo? I mean the one about Tempo...) over at Shadowrun. Bunch of other stuff they are thinking about. Maybe a criminal sourcebook (How crime functions). Maybe a hypercorp sourcebook. Maybe a sourcebook focusing on a select few habitats in greater detail. Nothing is set in stone. They plan on doing 1/month PDF exclusives. The next PDF will be a little release about Scum swarms. Not many other details so far. They are considering doing more Continuity soundbite type stuff. Their ideal schedule is ~4 books a year, but they aren't able to maintain that right now because of the Sandstorm shenanigans. Rimward is probably 3-6 months out. They make more money on print books than PDFs. If you are super serious about supporting Posthuman, but you only want one of the two, get the printing. Question time happens here! One of the ideas they have is EP variations, like what if the Fall didn't go down the way it did. Different types of singularities, different types of ETI involvement. But this is way in the future. And some stuff about future products, not related to Eclipse Phase.

Cool! Thanks for the info. Any thing about possibly a character generator along the lines like what Lone Wolf just did for Shadowrun?

With Hero Labs? Not that I heard, but that would be awesome.

Thank you for uploding and writing. Since I can understand English speaking very little, written words help me greatly.

Feral Cities is a sourcebook about no-law cities, like Shadowrun Chicago and Lagos. Tempo book is named Ghost Cartels.

Spoiler: Highlight to view
only the indoctrined ones, right? the heretics
all joking aside, it's relatively easy to adapt the Geth in EP Take the Synergists and sleeve some in synth morphs and voilà! What You See Is What You Geth! now you just put some of them infected by an Exsurgent virus in conflict with a Scum Fleet in an exoplanetary system and you have the Quarian situation
