GMs: Posthuman Studios Needs You (or your fork!)

Calling all Eclipse Phase players and supporters—we need your help!

If you have ever game mastered an Eclipse Phase game you may be able to help us out. We have three major events coming up where we’d like the help of our GMs.

Gen Con
First we need GMs for Gen Con (August 4-7, Indianapolis, Indiana). This means that if you are going to Gen Con and would be interested in helping us out by running games please email Brian Cross, who’s coordinating our convention presence, at brian@posthumanstudios.com as soon as possible. For Gen Con we have already committed to running 20 games, a significant increase over last year. And Gen Con is really a place where we’d like to show off Eclipse Phase and provide an excellent experience for people who are new to the game.

GMs who sign up to help us out at Gen Con will be compensated by both Gen Con (see the official site for details) and Posthuman Studios willadditionally compensate our GMs with either PS+ products or cash payment at a rate dependent upon the number of games run.

Actual Play Contest
Next we want to hear about your actual play of Eclipse Phase for our blog. To that end we will be running a contest. Send us your accounts of your campaigns and the major player characters in 2000 words or less. We will review all of the entries and post the top four entries on the website which will then be voted upon by you, the community. All entries must be submitted to info@posthumanstudios.com by midnight August 1, 2011. The winner will receive a fabulous prize (TBD!) and will also get their campaign and characters written in to an upcoming Eclipse Phase book.

Other Conventions
Finally we want to know if you are running any of your own games at Origins, Gen Con, PAX or any other cons please let us know so that we can make an announcement here on the website and through our other venues. While we can only run a small number of games ourselves, we want to support other GMs running our games as well!

If you have any questions please contact Brian Cross at brian@posthumanstudios.com, via the site's message system, or leave comment in this blog post.

Eclipse Phase at TempleCon (Warwick, RI, USA, Feb 4-6) and PAX East

If you're in New England or parts thereabout, I'm currently working on plans for Eclipse Phase at TempleCon (February 4-6, 2011) and PAX East (March 11-13, 2011). TempleCon is far and away the best regional con I've ever attended. Contrary to appearances on their web site, it's a gaming con with steampunk, not a steampunk con with gaming. And if you don't know what PAX East is, you've probably been living under a thick layer of Martian permafrost.

How many people are going? What Eclipse Phase events would you like to see? Let me know, and I'll try to schedule stuff that y'all will enjoy. I'm even up for writing a scenario based on the feedback I get.

As in the past, I'll probably end up recycling some of our events from Gen Con, along with debuting some new material.

Finally, if anyone is planning to attend Arisia (another regional New England con), now would be a good time to speak up, as I'm on the fence about going this year. If it looks like I could run a good slate of EP events, I'd be more likely to go.

I'll be happily receiving your input until the end of this week.

[REVISED] Schedule of Eclipse Phase Events at PAX East

UPDATE: I had to make some schedule changes. Real quick: 2 hour demo is now on Saturday; 4 hour game is on Sunday (same time slots).

Below is a list of Eclipse Phase games scheduled for PAX East. PAX East will be happening at Hynes Convention Center in downtown Boston from March 26-28 (this weekend!). Badges are mostly sold out, but if you've got one, come play Eclipse Phase! I'll be running two brand spankin' new scenarios. The longer event, "El Destino Verde" incorporates some of the background on Mars I wrote for Sunward.

PAX doesn't guarantee table space unless you're running a tournament or paying them for it (weird, right?), so I'm going to be running this in the free play area. If you have a jeejah, I'll be using the EP twitter account to provide more precise location details once I know where I'll be. I'll also be working as a PAX Enforcer all weekend in the tabletop area, so stop by and say hello!

Eclipse Phase Games:
Saturday, March 27
10am-12pm
Hypnagogia Demo (2 hours)
Sunday, March 28
10pm-2pm El Destino Verde
Full slot (4 hours)

Demo: I'll be running a new two hour demo scenario, "Hypnogogia."

El Destino Verde:
Martian workers with genetic faults in their morphs have been turning to traditional Chinese medicine for a quick fix. But what's the secret ingredient in the special sauce?
