Damaged Book Sale, redux!

in

In addition to the "Four Core" damaged book sale we currently have going on, we have added a "Two Core" bundle -- two damaged copies of the Eclipse Phase core rulebook for $60! This offer expires on January 31st, so don't delay!

Damaged Book Bundles

in
As the business end-of-year approaches, we are faced with a small task that every publisher hates: disposing of damaged copies of our books. It costs us between $5 and $10 to print a typical Eclipse Phase book (just printing, not including any of the costs to write, illustrate, edit, layout, index, etc.,) so sending several thousand dollars of books to the recycler burns us; yes, we get to write those books off, but the lost potential revenue is much larger than that.

So in the tradition of experimentation, we are making two types of bundles of these damaged books available before we recycle the remainder:

* "One of Everything" -- for only $100, you get one copy of Eclipse Phase, one copy of Sunward: The Inner System, one copy of Gatecrashing, and one copy of Panopticon: Volume 1. There are only five of these bundles available! ($180 total value)

* "Four Core" -- for only $100, you get four copies of the Eclipse Phase core book. ($200 total value)

International orders add $20 for shipping.

Please be aware -- all of these books are *damaged*. In most cases, this damage is just scuffs and dings to the cover -- enough that a retailer won't want it as "new" on the shelf. A few may have more serious scratches or a torn page or two. They are certainly still usable if not pretty, and are perfect to keep on the table for everyone to thumb through and use and abuse during game sessions. While we'll certainly seek to pick the most intact copies to send out, we are selling these as damaged copies. All sales are as-is, no refunds.

This sale will run until only January 31st, or until supplies are exhausted. All of the orders will be collected and send to the warehouse on February 1st and shipped out shortly thereafter.

This is a great chance to get some extra books for your gaming table, and to save them from being recycled into something far less interesting!

French Eclipse Phase Pre-Release!

in
As many of our French readers are probably already aware, Black Book Editions has made available the pre-release PDF for the French translation of Eclipse Phase. We're excited to see EP translated into another language for the first time!

Eclipse Phase T-Shirts!

in

EP shirt front

We have a small selection of t-shirts left over from this year's Gen Con, so now's your chance to get one! This black t-shirt features the Eclipse Phase logo on the front and a black-and-red anarchist faction flag with the words "From each according to their imagination, to each according to their need" on the back. These are available in limited quantities, so get yours while they're still in stock!

EP shirt back

Also available now are Eclipse Phase t-shirts through our friends at Ziraxia.com. Currently you can get the design we had last year -- EP logo on the front, and the EP tagline on the back. These are also available in women's cuts. We'll soon be making other designs available, so keep an eye out!

Catching Up

in
There's a slew of things we haven't had a chance to post to the blog lately, so here's a small drop of info to catch up:

* We have Google Plus pages now for Posthuman Studios and Eclipse Phase. Encircle us!

* They aren't Eclipse Phase-related, but we've published a few Creative Commons-licensed Texture Packs for graphic designers and publishers to use in their projects. 

* Issue #4 of The Eye fanzine recently came out. This issue features an adventure hook (Dust to Dust) by Marc Huete and a collection of articles focusing on neo-avians and other uplifts.

* Kindalas posted an updated version of his excellent EP character spreadsheet (v .93).

* These slip cases for the limited edition versions of the French translation of Eclipse Phase by Black Book editions look pretty sweet, eh? (And did we mention the French translation of the EP Quick-Start Rules? Also sweet!)

Amazon now has a listing for Panopticon.

More Gen Con, Resources Page Updates, and Amazon

in
For those folks who attended Gen Con and played in one of the scheduled Eclipse Phase games featuring a new scenario -- we'd love to get your playtest feedback. We will likely be publishing these scenarios in the future, so any comments on how the game what, how it might go better, any information that was missing, and so on will be helpful. You'll get playtester credit! Send your comments in using our Contact form.

On another note, I recently updated the fan creations on the Resources page. The new material includes:
* The 3rd issue of The Eye fanzine
* An updated character generation spreadsheet from Kindalas, including the new rules from Panopticon
* A modified version of the Mars map from Sunward
* A slew of Japanese translations from the core rulebook and QSR
* more!

Finally, we've been getting a lot of messages asking us if Panopticon will be sold through Amazon. The answer is yes, but we don't have any control over when Amazon will get the product listing up. As soon as it's up, we'll post the link!

Panopticon Street Date Announced, Preview #2, and Three Electronic Releases Tomorrow!

Posthuman Studios is pleased to announce that we will be releasing three electronic projects on Wednesday, August 17th, and that our upcoming print book Panopticon has a street date of August 31st!

Panopticon

You already know that Panopticon covers Surveillance, Habitats, and Uplifts! You've already checked out the Table of Contents; now have a peek at the Surveillance chapter before the full PDF becomes available for $10 on Wednesday!

Panopticon Cover


Panopticon Hack Pack

The Panopticon Hack Pack inclues 150DPI versions of twenty-seven pieces of artwork from Panopticon, and an Adobe Illustrator version of the "Humans Only" sign. The Hack Pack is $5, and is available bundled with the PDF version for $15.

Eclipse Phase Core Hack Pack

We didn't release a Hack Pack when we initially released the core rulebook for Eclipse Phase, and it's time to fix that! For $10, you get all of the sample character illustrations from the core rulebook, all of the chapter-opening artwork, and more! Of course, if you don't already own the Eclipse Phase PDF yet, you can grab it and the Hack Pack in a convenient bundle as well.

See you tomorrow!
