Gatecrashing is cool, but why are there not sample characters in the book?

It was already over page count and over budget. Sample character pages are expensive.

Would have paid $5 more for it. Any chance this might become an additional release in the near future?

No plans as such. If you want character stats, I suggest pillaging from the adventures we've released, if you have yet to do so. And there will be more of those in the future, for sure.

I don't want stats, I want inspirational character ideas! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lick.gif)

Hi Adam, I just bought all the EP pdfs off drive thru last night, any idea when these titles will go POD on there? Also will the GM screen be possible to be POD? thanks!

We're still noodling around with POD options. We don't think that really small titles provide much value in POD, so they will probably be compilations of some sort.

I played a one-shot with some friends. I can't comment on the game mechanic (if anything, the d100 roll seemed very harsh all the time), but the module was excellent. Equal parts Marathon and Deep Star Six, a real psychological space horror thriller. Most of that is due to my GM friend (hehe), but kudos to Eclipse Phase anyway.

It is a credit to the setting that despite the player characters being effectively immortal and having a vast array of powers, they STILL get creeped out and fearful on a regular basis in Eclipse Phase.
I mean, last game I played I was a freaking sentient cloud of nanites, and I still spend much of the game going OH SHIT OH SHIT WE'RE SO SCREWED. -k |

Dunno. The one that's equal parts Marathon and Deep Star Six. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Wake up on the broken space station?

We did. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Some liberties were taken with the setting (I'm told), but nothing crazy. I don't want to give anything away for others, either. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I've run that adventure several times for different groups. The setting makes it very easy for GMs to make edits both to change the pacing, but also to really tie in the characters in a situation where they might otherwise take a sideline role.

In preparation for some translations and POD availability of the Quick-Start Rules, we have released a slightly refined version of them -- for free, of course! You can download them directly from our page or from DriveThruRPG.
The QSR contains rules to play, a short adventure -- Mind the WMD -- and sample characters. |

And another update. woot for catching up!
The Sunward PDF (and Hack Pack) have been updated with some minor corrections and visual touchups. It's a free download at DriveThruRPG if you've already bought either of the titles -- hit this link for the download: http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/account.php And if you haven't bought an electronic copy of Sunward yet: Sunward: http://bit.ly/9ZZzra Sunward Hack Pack: http://bit.ly/9INy9j When I sent out the update email notifications via DriveThru, I noticed that only about 65% of Eclipse Phase buyers tick the box that allows us to send you emails about updates to our PDFs. Please tick this box. It lets us serve you better. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Got it today - love it! Very good job!
Btw, Jason Hardy and David Hill wrote parts of it: which ones would that be? |

So they did. Is that normal, for a line developer to also freelance for another line?

Nezumi--That depends on the Line Developer, the IP they are leading, and how prolific both are. I know some Line Developers (like Jason) who supplement their income with additional freelance work. Others are generally too busy to take on outside work, and focus on their primary lines but will pick up projects that they adore or which mean something to them personally to work on.
It is very similar to Freelancers who have a full time job, and do some work on the side by writing. |

Jason did the section on rumored gates, some of the gate anomaly sidebars, and the first draft of the gatehopper travelogue. David did some spot writing on extrasolar environments and research missions. |

Thanks for the info (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
What I find odd is the chapter order: first you have "Exploration Mission" followed by "Extrasolar Environments" after that it continues with the other types of gatecrashing missions. I would have swapped "Exploration Mission" and "Extrasolar Environments" personally, to have all tpyes of gatecrashing mission right in order. |
