Already asked this question in the Transhuman General Discussion thread, to no avail. Also, I'm curious if the hardback version will include all the 'unofficial' errata from the Errata thread, or is it going to be *vanilla*.

...from rpgnow.com . The link to purchase: http://www.rpgnow.com/product/117424/Eclipse-Phase-Transhuman The link to the excellent fiction from the book: http://www.rpgnow.com/product/117279/Eclipse-Phase-Interference Hoping to use the great-looking material from the new book very shortly; loved the fiction, gave it a five-star rating and a sweet review on rpgnow. Glad to support Posthuman and glad to stay up-to-date on a truly great game system.

We'll make an announcement about the Transhuman street date when we have it finalized. The Kickstarter backers get their copies shipped before we are shipping copies to distributors/game stores/amazon/etc. There's been a hold up with shipping the Kickstarter backers their copies because our warehouse is so busy with *other* projects that are in the queue ahead of us.

We printed plenty of Transhuman; unless sales are _insane_ it will be readily in stock for years to come. :) (And if sales are insane, we'll reprint it!)

I just got an update from Kickstarter that the books are shipping this week.

looks great. love the book, the lifepath character generation is maybe the best/most fun character creation process i've yet encountered. Started a session with a bunch of new players when the pdf came out, they all got super invested/interested in the setting right away due to the incredibly immersive backstories that it generates. Super stoked to have the hardback! excellent work as always.

so did you get any tracking email or message to show your individual one shipped out or just the blanket kick starter update everybody got. I am just curious if mine has shipped yet or if it is just stealthily making its way to me.

I didn't see any notification. It just showed up.

Our shipping company is using a variety of carriers depending on order specifics, so shipping notifications aren't being used. Many orders have been sent out already, and more will be sent out soon. :)

I was messing around with the lifepath character generation and you are right it is pretty darn good especially for people who really don't have a solid feel of exactly what they want. Just messing around I started to roll up a character Aptitude dilletant rolled with split background for two 1pp starting back grounds Model standard uplift and rolled neo Pig hyper elite media child One question I had at this point I did not see clarified in the book though is I now have in theory two starting morphs I would just run under the assumption I was born a neo pig and got a slyph morph after being adopted by a hyper elite so I fit into society better. From there my youth event was skipped to much school hehe uh oh. Child hood focus Hacker Adult path Pirate YARR! techie HAHAH okay so I am a neo pig space pirate techie hurm oh god haaha my character now has a name. Ham Solo. Because I was one PP shy I had to roll for one more 1 pp thing and wound up with Assassin I got an extra moxie from my event surviving the fall and a gold star trait from firewall for my assistance to them. Overall it actually makes for a pretty coherant character and shows one important thing in life. Stay in school or you will turn into a space hacker/assassin/pirate. I have not finished cleaning up all the stats and buying the gear but from eyeballing what I had it actually looks like a pretty good balanced character. The 1pp assassin package and the 3 point pirate package combine out to pretty reasonable starting combat/frey/ranged weapon abilities and techie combined with hacker and pirate combine to give me pretty damn good tech background with a focus on space ships. It is pretty easy to see with that kind of background why he could be a good firewall asset good networking/reasonable combat abilities/good tech abilities in a profession that tends to visit the seedier parts of the solar system.

pigs in SPAAACCCEEEEEE!!!

As far as I am aware, it isn't publicly available yet. The copies that are going out at the moment are those purchased during the kickstarter.

I still haven't received my hardcover of Transhuman yet - I was a backer here on the website. Any word on when the website backer books are going out?

I am so excited to hear that, you have no idea. :-D

just found transhuman for sale at amazon .com this the right book? as its not any where else yet

Amazon has jumped the gun on making Transhuman available. I would ask that you not buy it from them.

Buy from Amazon if you like, in my opinion. Here is the information from the Kickstarter page: "Also: We are not going to ship any copies of Transhuman to game stores and distributors until all of the backer copies ship (Not counting the stores that backed the project at the Vendor level)." So if it is shipped to stores, go ahead.

Thanks for the update!
