Eclipse Phase Character Options

Eclipse Phase Character Options

As we wind up this week, glad to say that the Morph Recognition Deck Upgrade has been unlocked — at the same price as the original deck. If you'd been waiting to select it as an add-on, now is the time!

A few answers to FAQs that have come up on the way:

Eclipse Phase Second Edition Reprint — Price Lock

We are incredibly close to needing to reprint Eclipse Phase Second Edition. It is possible that the cover price will have to be raised for the second printing. If you are getting EP2 via this campaign — by pledge level or add-on — you will lock in your copies at the current price.

Not Stretch Goals

We want to elevate the following information: if you back this campaign for $100 or more (not counting shipping) you will also get free digital copies of NPC File 2 and Your Whispering Muse when they are released! These titles are stretch goals from the Eclipse Phase Second Edition Kickstarter campaign, and they're both in writing/development now.

NPC File 2

If you're a Patreon subscriber, you'll have seen some NPC File 2 excerpts recently, but if you haven't we have some news about that book!

The original NPC File book included 33 NPCs and 9 variants, all packed into only 15 pages. Our initial plans for NPC File 2 were a little expanded, probably around 24 pages and 40 NPCs. As we outlined the book, ideas flowed and we ended up expanding the NPC list to 46 archetypes — and also 46 named NPCs for each archetype. We expected that we'd do a half page for each NPC, ending up with a book about 48 pages. Here's the complete list of NPC archetypes — those in green are written and laid-out (including their named compatriots, who I've redacted for now!).



As we got into writing and initial graphic design it became obvious that plan wasn't feasible — we were simply trying to jam too much onto each page. So NPC File 2 will now be a ~96-page book, and we've shared some pages on our Patreon to certain backer levels. Here's a couple of those pages for you:



Once we've finished writing and layout we'll be commissioning art, and then the digital book will be available for supporting backers, and shortly after that available to the public!

Support

Thank you for your support of the Character Options campaign, and stay tuned for the PDF coming nearly next week!

Wow — you wasted no time hitting $30,000 and unlocking the Morph Recognition Deck in print!

There are now some new add-ons — EP2 in print, additional copies of Character Options, Condensed Player's Guide, and a $5 digital version of Morph Recognition Cards!

Thank you so much for your first-day support of the Character Options campaign, and please keep sharing it with your friends and other gamers. It is wonderful to see many names we have known for years support this campaign, but those new names on the list is an equal thrill!

We're sitting at just under 400 backers right now, and over 10% of backers will be wearing an Octomorph t-shirt in 2024. 🐙 

Thank you so much, everyone for jumping on Character Options and funding it first day!

With that momentum, we'll be shuffling up the Morph Recognition Deck at the $30,000 stretch goal in no time and speeding towards the deluxe upgrade!



More Add-Ons
A few people have requested that we add a few more individual items as Add-Ons and those will be available within the next 24 hours.

Please Spread the Word
Over the last few years, the social media landscape that Posthuman Studios has a lot of support from has fractured and become less effective. We would really appreciate your help in talk about this campaign on gaming message boards, Facebook groups, Discords, and anywhere else where you talk about gaming!
