ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

A Time of Eclipse is a full introduction to the Eclipse Phase setting!

A Time of Eclipse is an ePub/Mobi file and print book containing roughly the first 111 pages of the Eclipse Phase first edition core rulebook: essentially, all of the setting material from the core!

Your mind is software. Program it.
Your body is a shell. Change it.
Death is a disease. Cure it.
Extinction is approaching. Fight it.

Eclipse Phase is a post-apocalyptic game of conspiracy and horror. Humanity is enhanced and improved, but also battered and bitterly divided. Technology allows the re-shaping of bodies and minds, but also creates opportunities for oppression and puts the capability for mass destruction in the hands of everyone. And other threats lurk in the devastated habitats of the Fall, dangers both familiar and alien. In this harsh setting, the players participate in a cross-faction conspiracy called Firewall that seeks to protect transhumanity from threats both internal and external. Along the way, they may find themselves hunting for prized technology in a gutted habitat falling from orbit, risking the hellish landscapes of a ruined earth, or following the trail of a terrorist through militarized stations and isolationist habitats. Players may even find themselves stepping through a Pandora Gate, a wormhole to distant stars and the alien secrets beyond.

ECLIPSE PHASE: FOR PLAYERS

  • Play a role in a secretive and dangerous conspiracy that seeks to save transhumanity.
  • Switch your body at will, from genetically modified transhumans to synthetic robotic shells, optimizing your character for specific missions.
  • Back up your character's mind and be restored from backup in case of death--a built-in system of "Save points" and functional immortality.

ECLIPSE PHASE: FOR GAMEMASTERS

  • A setting custom-built for numerous scenario types, from faction-based intrigues to high-tech dungeon-crawls, from mind-scarring mysteries to dangerous exploration of alien worlds via wormhole gates.
  • An eclectic assortment of intriguing factions, from techno-anarchists to future-chasing hypercorps, from soul-trading criminals to uplifted animals.
  • A range of NPC antagonists to choose from, including rogue AIs, extreme posthuman factions, standoffish aliens with their own agenda and transhumans infected and transformed by the virulent Exsurgent virus.

A nitpick: why isn't this available as a PDF, like all of the other EP books? This is seriously annoying.

Posthuman Studios REALLY came through for me with this product! I cannot recommend it highly enough! It is a simply ingenious reference document for first edition Eclipse Phase that the copies I have purchased have serves me as a demonstration and campaign GM time and time again. If you have the means buy a copy of this for each of your players. Or at least advise them to buy a copy for themselves. It is an indispensable document for understanding what's going on in the Eclipse Phase universe. Simply fantastic! 10/10! Five Stars all the way!

I would really, REALLY like to buy 5-10 Print On Demand paperbacks of this please. Is there any way I can get those made? Especially in the same, or a similar, format size and paper stock as the excellent Argonauts pod book I bought here. Which is a fantastic product I wholly recommend everyone buy!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
