Quick-Start in Portuguese

Brazilian publisher RetroPunk has announced their plans to translate the EP Quick-Start Rules into Portuguese, according to the terms of EP's Creative Commons licensing. We're looking forward to seeing it!

Who else out there is working on EP translation projects? Chime in on the comments.

Core Rulebook Errata

Here is the official errata for the EP Core Rulebook. You can choose the full errata, with every niggling typo, or just grab the major changes, which only note the significant rules and setting corrections:
All of the changes noted here are reflected in the second printing of the EP Core Rulebook, currently at the printer.

New Digital Releases for Eclipse Phase

We have 3 new digital releases/updates for Eclipse Phase today! Check them out:

EP Gamemaster Pack PDFs

This pack is ideal for gamemasters looking for both a useful reference tool and an adventure that will pitch them right into the Eclipse Phase setting. It contains:

  • A four-panel portrait GM screen on sturdy cardboard stock, featuring all of the tables an Eclipse Phase gamemaster needs in one place for handy reference.
  • A 24-page starting adventure in which agents of Firewall investigate a missing comrade and are pitted against a legacy of the TITANs that destroyed Earth.
(The physical hardcopy product is at the printer. We don't have a street release date yet, but we'll post it when we do. Also, we will be offering bundle hardcopy-PDF deals in the future.)

EP GM Screen Hack Pack

This item is for those that like to customize and hack at their game materials! It contains:

  • The full EP Gamemaster Screen Pack described above.
  • InDesign files (Compatible with CS3, CS4, and probably CS2) for the Tables side of the GM Screen. These tables use GPLed fonts and the screen itself is Creative Commons-license, so you can edit and distribute your modifications non-commercially!

Eclipse Phase Core Rulebook Update

The PDF of the core rulebook is now updated with all of the errata that will appear in the second printing (now at the printer). Customers who purchased the PDF previously will receive a notification of the update and a download link for the revised version.
The physical books are out-of-stock at Catalyst (though some distributors and retailers will still have them) until the second printing comes in (we don't have a street date yet, we'll announce it when we do). A package PDF-hardcopy deal will be available when the book is back in stock.

Beta Version of the Errata

We've posted a beta version of the errata we have so far, or at least the material affecting the rules. We're asking folks to take a look at it before we go live with an official version of the errata. Let us know if you see anything that needs correcting!

Update and Call for Errata

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.

Eclipse Phase Film Update

The Eclipse Phase film project, announced earlier this year, continues onward with the launch of a website for the project: http://eclipsephasemovie.com/  Check in here to follow our progress, or follow us on twitter: @EclipsePhasePic. Currently we've finalized an outline, and a screenplay is underway!

Brian's presentation from the IEET conference

As promised here are the slides for the talk I will shortly be giving for the IEET conference which you can, if you want, watch live here and which I believe they will be archiving
The talk is on how we (and you) can take some of the heavier ideas about H+ and spin them in a way that has broader appeal to people who may not be familiar with H+ ideas.
