Description
A Time of Eclipse is an ePub/Mobi file containing roughly the first 111 pages of the Eclipse Phase 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.

ECLIPSE PHASE: FOR GAMEMASTERS
