[EP] New Eclipse Phase releases. This Wednesday!

[Matt.Ceb]

My trusty RSS reader just brought me these fine news, after I awoke and started my daily "what happened as I slept?" round of catching up.

Posthuman Studios has three kick-ass Eclipse Phase titles coming your way as PDFs on Wednesday, July 28th: NPC File 1: Prime, the highly-anticipated Sunward: The Inner System, and the Sunward Hack Pack!


NPC File 1: Prime
An electronic exclusive, NPC File 1: Prime presents over thirty original NPCs and some additional variants with a description and full stats; ready for use as opposition or player characters. Two files are included: One with all the NPCs in a typical layout format, and a second with half-page character sheets for each NPC. NPC File 1: Prime will be $5 and is Creative Commons (BY-NC-SA) licensed.
Sunward: The Inner System
Eight days before its debut at Gen Con (yes, there will be a Sunward ... well, many Sunwards ... at Gen Con!), you'll be able to get your hands on the electronic version of Sunward! Sunward details the inner part of the solar system:

* Can you take the heat? Find out on Mercury, the Vulcanoids, or dive into the sun's corona with the Solarians
* A new star is rising on Venus, join in the intrigue as the Morningstar Constellation maneuvers for influence.
* Return to the cradle of transhumanity and explore the blasted, but not quite abandoned, ruins of Earth.
* Keepers of many of our cultural traditions, the Lunar-Lagrange Alliance stands watch over our shattered homeworld.
* A red storm is rising on Mars as the traditional masters of the red planet face an upswell of Barsoomian patriotism.
* The silent masters of the inner system, the Planetary Consortium, reach out to touch all with a velvet glove.
* Plus new Morphs, gear, and sample characters.

Sunward will be a 192 page PDF (with layers, a hyperlinked Table of Contents, a hyperlinked index, and internal hyperlinks) and will sell for $10. Sunward is Creative Commons (BY-NC-SA) licensed.


Sunward Hack Pack
The Sunward Hack Pack includes the Sunward PDF and the following:

* Sunward Cover art and chapter-opening artwork as 150DPI images.
* Print-friendlier version of the Inner System Map, and Adobe Illustrator files for the original and modified map.

All you need to make your own contribution to the Inner System—Creative Commons (BY-NC-SA) licensed!

I can't tell you how excited I am to finally hold Sunward in my data holds, come Wednesday. And 10$? FUCKING SOLD! Including the Hack Pack, of course.

I'll also spend the 5$ on the NPC supplement. It sounds really nice and I always enjoyed the Personnel Files in Transhuman Space.

So, yeah, excited!

This is so awesome. PHS kicks ass. I literally can't wait to give them my money. Hopefully Gatecrashing will soon follow for I am a greedy infomorph.

 

[Matt.Ceb]

I want spaceships!
I'm willing to write for spaceships, to get spaceships. *hint hint wink wink nudge nudge*

 

[Bruwulf]

Huzzah!

Can't wait! But then I have to wait more for Gatecrashers... noooo...

Curse you, Posthuman Studios. Curse you.

Still, yeah, can't wait. I'll be picking Sunward up as soon as it's released. The NPC pack, I might wait to see what people have to say about it.

 

[Matt.Ceb]

Ooooor you pick it up for free, see if you like it, and if you do: You buy it.

Remember: This is Eclipse Phase, they are using wonderful CC!

That's why I signed on with them.

It's working for them too, I downloaded the rulebook pdf last week and quickly ordered a physical copy from Amazon. Awesome game.

My physical copy arrived about 5 hours ago. Its so purty...

 

[Solar]

Yeah, CC basically allowed my group to look at the book, decide we loved it, and then buy hard copies to play the actual game with. Definately going to be getting Sunward ASAP, and also an NPC pack, which is always useful when running any game, as the SWSE Threats of the Galaxy book taught me.

One thing that wasn't clear to me from that announcement: The Sunward PDF will be available come Wednesday, but what about a PDF+Hardcover combo, like was offered for the core book? I know the latter won't ship for a few months yet, but I'd like to lay claim to both now.
