Eclipse Phase Character Options

As we wind up this week, glad to say that the Morph Recognition Deck Upgrade has been unlocked — at the same price as the original deck. If you'd been waiting to select it as an add-on, now is the time!

A few answers to FAQs that have come up on the way:

Eclipse Phase Second Edition Reprint — Price Lock

We are incredibly close to needing to reprint Eclipse Phase Second Edition. It is possible that the cover price will have to be raised for the second printing. If you are getting EP2 via this campaign — by pledge level or add-on — you will lock in your copies at the current price.

Not Stretch Goals

We want to elevate the following information: if you back this campaign for $100 or more (not counting shipping) you will also get free digital copies of NPC File 2 and Your Whispering Muse when they are released! These titles are stretch goals from the Eclipse Phase Second Edition Kickstarter campaign, and they're both in writing/development now.

NPC File 2

If you're a Patreon subscriber, you'll have seen some NPC File 2 excerpts recently, but if you haven't we have some news about that book!

The original NPC File book included 33 NPCs and 9 variants, all packed into only 15 pages. Our initial plans for NPC File 2 were a little expanded, probably around 24 pages and 40 NPCs. As we outlined the book, ideas flowed and we ended up expanding the NPC list to 46 archetypes — and also 46 named NPCs for each archetype. We expected that we'd do a half page for each NPC, ending up with a book about 48 pages. Here's the complete list of NPC archetypes — those in green are written and laid-out (including their named compatriots, who I've redacted for now!).

As we got into writing and initial graphic design it became obvious that plan wasn't feasible — we were simply trying to jam too much onto each page. So NPC File 2 will now be a ~96-page book, and we've shared some pages on our Patreon to certain backer levels. Here's a couple of those pages for you:

Once we've finished writing and layout we'll be commissioning art, and then the digital book will be available for supporting backers, and shortly after that available to the public!
