“How’d you like to play dodgeball?”
There’s something to be said about flying into town for negotiations and getting taken directly to a parking lot game of dodgeball at midnight in Wicker Park, Chicago. When you’re in the gaming industry, work and play go hand in hand—you can’t make fun if you aren’t having it!
We’ve been fans of Eclipse Phase since it premiered. And just as big of fans of Rob, Adam, and Brian—the creative masterminds behind the ground-breaking transhumanist game. So when the opportunity came up to partner Sandstorm and Posthuman Studios, we jumped. (And threw down.)
You’ve gotten a taste of what Posthuman can create with Eclipse Phase—and we’re absolutely thrilled to be partnering with them to bring a full lineup of new Eclipse Phase books to fans in the coming year. We’re also very excited to be partnering with Posthuman to bring new games to the gaming market, such as the tongue-in-cheek card game of Celebrity Trash Culture, Paparazzi!
We look forward to our partnership with Posthuman and everything the future holds in store for us–whether that’s resleeving our digital consciousness, using a telephoto lens to snap indiscriminate photographs, or playing another round of street dodgeball.

Re: Posthuman Studios and Sandstorm Productions Play Ball!
I've been wondering about the game Paparazzi!. It reminds me of the Avalon Hill card games of the 80s. One thing I'm wondering: is Eclipse Phase going to be the only Creative Commons game that Posthuman releases, or is this going to be the standard of excellence for all of your products?

We will use Creative Commons in situations where it is practical to do so. For example, if we create the entire setting/game ... it's practical. If we are producing a game licensed from someone else's IP, it is much less practical.

Sweet, this means I'll be able to get a deadtree version of the core, among the others hopefully sometimes this year. Good news indeed.

Does that mean we'll get to see Sunward and Gatecrasher in the foreseable future?
if I remember well, Sunward was basically finished, right?
is it wishful thinking to hope to see it around the time of Gencon, or, Eywa willing, SD Comic Con?
that would be awesome
btw, speaking of Comic Con, any news on the movie project?

We are working on finishing Sunward ASAP. We will not be at SDCC and rushing it for that date is not a goal.
We'll announce street dates when we know them, but we won't engage in "oh, maybe in X weeks" sort of speculation.

Re: Posthuman Studios and Sandstorm Productions Play Ball!
sorry to hear you won't be at the SDCC. I wish I could attend the Gencon too, but it won't be possible
ah well.
I'd rather wait some more months than have rushed supplements.
will there be a pdf release before the printout version, with the new publishing partner?
