Eclipse Phase Character Options

Hey folks!

Here's a small flurry of updates and news:

#1: Flexbot Confidential

Earlier this week we released Flexbot Confidential on DriveThruRPG and Posthuman.Shop, and we just updated it with a few corrections to bring it in line with the Character Options corrections.

Flexbot Confidential brings you more modular material for everyone's favorite modular morphs, including details on cyberbrains, cortical stacks, and multiple egos. From there it moves onto shapeshifting, gear assembly,  flexbot tricks, and further upgrades.

Hey everyone!

It's been a little over a week since this campaign closed, and thank you so much for your support and pledges!

With hundreds of pairs of backer eyes going over the book, a few mistakes have come to the surface — we'll be compiling corrections and updating the book in the near future. To get the updated PDF you won't have to take any action, and the printed book will contain those corrections!

If you haven't downloaded Character Options yet, the link for doing so is in this backer update: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/posthuman-studios/eclipse-phase-character-options/updates/2662#top

In addition to finalizing the PDF and getting the book to the printers, we're working on preparing to make the enamel pin order, getting BackerKit's Pledge Manager set up, some upgrades to the shipping office, and all that sort of logistical stuff.

Again, thanks for your support!

Everyone, as this campaign heads into the final six hours, a simple piece of gratitude for being with us on this journey, whether you're new to Eclipse Phase or have a very beat-up copy of first edition on your shelf. Thanks so much!

Soooo, rolled up any characters lately? 🐙

Hey everyone — we're into the last 48 hours of the Character Options, and thanks so much for all your support!

We've added the Posthuman Studios Hoodie into the add-ons — these are in-stock, super cozy, and durable.

We're going to shamelessly ask you to please share this campaign with your friends/gaming groups/social media one more time, please. All funds raised at this point are going towards the Eclipse Phase Second Edition reprint!

Adam here. I'm writing this on Sunday afternoon, tucked into a new-to-me Columbian coffee shop. I'm in Chicago for a few days to hang out and work with Sprite in person, and to see one of my favorite singers, Dessa.

I saw Dessa on Thursday in Minneapolis, collapsed with sore throat and feet after the show, woke up early on Friday morning and dashed to catch the Amtrak to Chicago. I worked all day on the train, rolled into Sprite's place around seven, caught up a little bit and did some more work. Nine PM I poured some vodka into a Red Bull, chugged it down, and promptly fell asleep. An almost perfect day, except I didn't get chance to play Baldur's Gate 3. Saturday I spent working until it was time to head across town to see Dessa again.

One of her songs, I Already Like You has a lyric that has always caught my ear:

"Fucked up the trust fall / Caught a concussion"

Running any kind of business, any kind of venture is a series of trust falls. The ongoing collaboration that you know as Posthuman Studios has been pushing forward long enough that it could legally drink. Along the way, we've taken a bunch of trust falls and tried to be holding hands underneath others doing the same. Of course there have been concussions.

If I work backwards, itemizing and categorizing those trust falls — caught or concussed —  there's one commonality to them: our fans always catch us. You support our Creative Commons releases. You back our crowdfunding campaigns. You sell out our games at Gen Con and then come to the booth to tell us how much fun you had. You share your stories, not just about your games but also how they have impacted your life, your friendships, your feelings about life, love, community, acceptance. And capitalism. Lots of feelings about capitalism.

So with that, we're letting everyone backing this campaign download the digital version of Eclipse Phase Character Options today — the link comes after this backer-only jump-cut:
