Update and Call for Errata

Submitted by RobBoyle on

Just a quick update: The EP Gamemaster Pack is off to the printers! As usual, we won't announce a street date until it's confirmed, but expect it to be a couple of months. We'll make it available for pre-order a bit beforehand. The PDF version of the screen and accompanying adventure will be available before the print release too.

In other news, the first print run of the EP core rulebook has nearly sold through, which means we'll be taking it in for a reprint soon. Thanks to everyone for the fantastic support and making this game a success!

We'll be updating the second printing with errata, of course (which will also be incorporated into a new version of the core book PDF), so we're putting out a last call for errata items here. If you've found something that needs to be fixed, post it in our errata thread by the end of this week (Friday January 22nd). We'll be going through these and compiling changes as necessary.

General Update

Submitted by RobBoyle on

Things have been a been quiet around here lately, as we've been a bit busy, so I thought now might be a good time to provide a general update on a few fronts.

First off, the previous weekend I had the pleasure of going to Paris and attending the Monde du Jeu convention, which I believe is the biggest gaming convention in France. Black Book Editions was celebrating the 20th anniversary of Shadowrun, so I had the opportunity to talk to French fans about that game, give some interviews, and meet a lot of fun and interesting people. I also talked up Eclipse Phase of course, selling some French players on the game, though I was quite pleased to talk to a number of gamers who had already seen the PDF, were familiar with it, and were looking forward to the hardcopy. It looks like Black Book Editions will be licensing and translating EP into French, which is fantastic. The Black Book folks were also excellent hosts and it was a pleasure to spend some time with them. Thanks guys!

Updates and upcoming content

Submitted by kylleran on

We just created a topic in the forums regarding what kind of topics you'd like to see covered in an upcoming book.  Let us know your thoughts on it.

In other news we're trying to keep abreast of all the feedback we're getting and we're definitely trying to address as many questions and comments as possible.  Hopefully you'll see the results of these efforts in the upcoming weeks!  But keep the feedback coming.

EP on Wikipedia (But For Long?)

Submitted by RobBoyle on

Someone was kind enough to put together an article on Eclipse Phase on wikipedia. In traditional wikipedia form, however, the article is already up for deletion. Wikipedia frowns on people/companies who edit their own articles, so we're keeping our hands off of it, but if you think the article should stay, we recommend you head over to the discussion and voice your opinion, as well as contribute facts and details to the wiki article itself. The point of contention is EP's "notability" (apparently being BoingBoinged, Slashdotted, and optioned for film didn't boost our Rep scores enough!). Perhaps it would help to point out that EP is the first roleplaying game to be released by a large publishing company under a Creative Commons license.

EDIT: Here's a collection of links to articles, reviews, and interviews about EP.

Character Creation Examples

Submitted by kylleran on

We're thrilled at the reaction to EP so far and the fun people seem to be having with the game and setting.  For those of you who are thinking of starting up a game and wondering how character creation is here's a link to a thread at rpg.net where people are having a blast tossing out character concepts and then creating them.  It's got a lot of good information on how certain things work and discussions of various morphs and skills.

It also has the King of Sparta, an open source morph entrepreneur, and more discussions of Surya goodness.
