Character Options & Eclipse Phase Second Edition (reprint) Pre-orders!

The Character Options BackerKit campaign will start fulfilling next week, and we've opened up pre-orders for anyone who didn't support the original campaign!

This includes Character Options and a reprint of Eclipse Phase Second Edition! After the original Character Options campaign, demand for the core rulebook jumped and so we’re just about ready to reprint — the core rulebook is being updated with corrections and a few graphical touchups — the same great Second Edition made a little better!

As always, when we release the updated digital version it will be free for everyone who bought previous versions, and we’ll also be rolling out a wiki-based version of the core rules + a little bit more at that time.

Pre-orders will be open for a limited time, so jump in!

Posthuman Studios Gen Con News: SCUM and Mind the WMD

We’re back from Gen Con 2024 — it was great to see so many of you at the show. For those who weren’t there, here’s the news and a new Eclipse Phase PDF release!

SCUM: an Eclipse Phase Board Game

We're making an Eclipse Phase board game and it's set on a SCUM SWARM — Get Your Ass To Mars to be precise. This project has been brewing for a while and we are finally able to share what we've been working on with our amazing community!

SCUM is a collaboration between Posthuman Studios and Moose With Cup Creative, a new tabletop publisher started by one of Posthuman’s co-owners Davidson Cole. SCUM will be Moose With Cup Creative’s launch title in 2025.

MWCC has their own newsletter and we encourage you to sign up to get the most detailed news from the swarm! For bite-sized visual news, head over their Instagram.

Mind the WMD: Resleeved

Mind the WMD: Resleeved is an adventure that brings the Scum swarm Ecstatic Metamorphosis to life. From the swarm itself and then onto Mars it provides many investigative routes, including options for entering the TITAN Quarantine Zone. The PDF is available now on Posthuman.Shop and DriveThruRPG!

A great scenario for starting a Firewall campaign or inserting into an existing one, Mind the WMD: Resleeved leaves plenty of dangling threads at the end that can be used to tie into a longer campaign. It is also tangentially connected to the Eclipse Phase Second Edition opening fiction, Infamy.


Mind the WMD: Resleeved is a 32-page PDF + 3 detailed battlemaps, each available in multiple versions, perfect for playing the scenario on a VTT. These maps are our first collaboration with Miska’s Map — let us know what you think!

One more thing…

We’ll be back in your inboxes Very Soon with an update on the Character Options BackerKit campaign, and perhaps some more resleeving. See you then!

Posthuman Studios at Gen Con 2024 — Booth #349!

We're at booth #349 at Gen Con — for those of you who have visited in years past, this is the same space we've occupied for several years. Look for Pivo & Berk welcoming you to the scum swarm!

Eclipse Phase Character Options

We have an advance shipment of Character Options. If you supported our BackerKit campaign and want to pick up your hardcover at the show, please fill out this form.

We will have a small number available for sale as well, and the remainder are on their way to our warehouse in Duluth to prepare for fulfillment!

Mind the WMD Resleeved

We originally released Mind the WMD as an intro adventure for Eclipse Phase First Edition (as part of the free EP1 Quick-Start Rules). Recently, as a patreon project, we revisited this adventure, updating it for EP2 while also expanding its depth, making it even more useful as a starter scenario.

Clocking in at 32 pages, MtWMD: Resleeved now provides more setting detail and NPCs, bringing the Scum swarm Ecstatic Metamorphosis to life. It also provides more investigative routes for when the scenario moves on to Mars, including options for entering the TITAN Quarantine Zone.

Even better, the scenario comes with 3 detailed battlemaps, each available in multiple versions, drawn by Miska's Maps, perfect for playing the scenario on a VTT. MtWMD is a great scenario for starting a Firewall campaign or inserting into an existing one, and it leaves plenty of dangling threads at the end that can be used to tie into a longer campaign. It is also tangentially connected to the EP2 opening fiction, Infamy.

The print version of Mind the WMD Resleeved will be available at Gen Con, and the digital version will go on sale within a week.

A statement from Posthuman Studios about the ongoing genocide in Palestine

Posthuman Studios logo. Self Evolving System

There is no such thing as an apolitical business. Eclipse Phase Second Edition includes the following on page 19:

"A Note on Politics
Eclipse Phase delves into numerous political themes; in fact, we start with the premise that everything is political. Like all authors, we write from the perspective of our personal biases. Our specific lens is radical, liberatory, inclusive, and antifascist. If you support bigotry or authoritarianism in any form, Eclipse Phase is not the game for you."

If you know anything about us at all, you probably already assumed we support a free Palestine. We've never been shy about our politics. Therefore, we issue the following statement and encourage other companies to do the same:

Posthuman Studios stands in support of the Palestinian people and opposes the ongoing genocide perpetrated by the state of Israel with the full complicit support of the United States and Canada. We condemn zionism as a colonialist and fascist ideology. The attempt to label any criticism of Israel as anti-semitic is a dishonest diversion. Likewise, conflating all Jewish people with zionism is an inherently anti-semitic idea. We believe resistance against Israel's colonialism, apartheid, and genocide is justified and necessary.
Free Palestine!

We will be donating a portion of our income this year to appropriate aid organizations.
