Sunward on sale for GenCon

I'm sorry if this is a stale question, I'm just in love with the game. It seems that Sunward has been proofed and sent to the printers. As in, it is completely done, please correct me if I'm wrong. Is there any chance that it will be on sale in time for GenCon, and if not.. How about a PDF release?

Re: Sunward on sale for GenCon

All street dates -- PDF and print -- will be announced on the front page. Printing and shipping books still takes time (and that amount of time can be unpredictable and uncontrollable...), and we don't think that launching PDF versions months head of print release is good for us or for retailers: the electronic release has to promote the print release. But there will be announcements soon, and if all goes to plan, Sunward in people's hard drives -- and hands -- relatively soon. :-)

Adam, thanks for the reply. I look forward to some news in the near future. Oh.. And I got Melt from the Kindle store (iPad owner here), I loved it!

By the way, for anyone going to Gen Con, we're available as a Dream Date to the ENnies, and it will include a signed copy of Sunward and your character (or you) being written into an upcoming EP book: http://cgi.ebay.com/ENnies-Dream-Date-Posthuman-Studios-/180534628859?cm...

Re: Sunward on sale for GenCon

So as the new post on the front page makes clear we will have Sunward at Gencon. We anticipate having enough unless demand is crazy. Though it would be nice if demand were crazy.

Re: Sunward on sale for GenCon

What kind of time are you expecting them to put them up? Or is it a "when its ready" kind of deal? CodeBreaker wants his Sunward damnit! GIEF NOAW! *starts throwing money at Adam* :D

Re: Sunward on sale for GenCon

http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?products_id=82590 Sunward is up and is amazing. Thank you guys very much for getting it to us ASAP, the research and work you guys have put into it is just amazing. Page 43 "Genehackers have also created other more active creatures, including muscular fliers like the predatory cloud mantas. These" I am curious though the Chapter on Venus cuts off like that and left me wondering how that ended. Great work though, I hope GenCon nets you all a lot of sales :).

Re: Sunward on sale for GenCon

I´m curious about something else....the same rules for distribution of EP applies to Sunward and other books of the system?

Minor mistake that crept in when I converted the file from CS4 to CS5. You can see all the corrected pages here: http://eclipsephase.com/downloads/eclipsephase_sunward_preview1.pdf

So far, _all_ Eclipse Phase releases are Creative Commons licensed, yes!

Re: Sunward on sale for GenCon

We aren't making copies available for pre-order. Sandstorm is working on their new web store and we'd rather not implement an ad-hoc solution before they do so. Please call your local gaming store and ask them to pre-order a copy for you. :-)

Re: Sunward on sale for GenCon

Amazon marks the book release for... December 31st, 2010! I think I'll take my friend Worf's offer to send him money and have him buy the game at SD's Game Empire for me. was it on FB or on Twitter that you guys said the official street release date will be revealed on thursday?

Re: Sunward on sale for GenCon

As we've said before: Sunward on Amazon, currently, is Catalyst's never-going-to-happen version of Sunward. Consider all of that information to be incorrect. We'll be announcing the GM Screen Street Date this week.

Re: Sunward on sale for GenCon

You're assuming it's even out here yet! Maybe they had some copies at GenCon, but it's not available at retail yet.

What's considered the 'front page'? I saw that the Releases page shows the following: Sunward Release Date: September 1, 2010 GM Screen Release Date: August 18, 2010 Did the print version of the GM Screen come out this week?
