Japanese EP Replay Novels in Role&Roll Magazine
Our friends at Arclight in Japan are publishing an Eclipse Phase replay novel in the pages of their Role&Roll Magazine. The first episode appeared in issue 88 and will continue in issue 91 (out in April).
We just received some copies of the first issue in the mail, and they look good -- wish we could read them! A few months back they also sent us a handout for Eclipse Phase they had designed and printed up for giving away at conventions and game shops. A big thanks go out to Akira Okawada, Yusuke Tokita, and other folks who have been helping to spread awareness about Eclipse Phase in Japan. Thanks to their efforts, we're near to finalizing a contract with Arclight for a Japanese translation of Eclipse Phase!
I'd be remiss if I didn't also take the opportunity to thank Janus, who has voluntarily translated most of the core rulebook into Japanese (links in the homebrew section of the Resources page, under "Translations") and also spread the word about Eclipse Phase via his website. Thanks Janus!

What do you mean by 'replay' novel.
Replays are basically transcripts of game sessions -- they're a very popular format in Japan.

Re: Japanese EP Replay Novels in Role&Roll Magazine
Since the game is released via Creative Commons, does that mean this article falls under that license as well? Is there any possibility that we can get scans or transcripts of this article? I only ask because it might be possible to find a translator and get it put into English.

The Japanese EP material is also CC licensed. I'm willing to provide scans if someone wants to work on the translation.

So we can have EP novels? for real?
THIS IS AWESOME!
+20 F-rep!
What do you mean by 'replay' novel? Your wiki link goes to a description of the novel Replay, which has nothing to do with Eclipse Phase.
