[QUOTE="RobBoyle, post: 4906295, member: 85043"] Hey everyone, I'm one of the co-creators of [I]Eclipse Phase[/I]. I just wanted to make the quick note that it is now available for PDF and pre-orders. See [url=http://www.eclipsephase.com/ep-pre-orders-pdf-and-bundle]EP Pre-Orders, PDF, and Bundle | Eclipse Phase[/url] Also, Alikar, I wanted to say thanks for the review. I can't say I think it's all that accurate or respectful to characterize some of our material as "bigotry" or a "hate piece" (you're talking about a couple hundred words in a 400 page book, which is hardly a pervasive theme), but I'm glad that you took the time to write up your thoughts both positive and negative. While I certainly don't expect everyone to agree on subjects related to religion and politics, this is one of the great things about games like EP and the sci-fi genre and RPGs in general in that they allow for the exploration of serious material if this is what the GM and players want. If people care to discuss this further I made a blog post over at our website about some of the issues Alikar (and others have) raised, so as to allow players to discuss these types of issues without violating any rules on sites like EN World that discourage religious and political themes: [url=http://www.eclipsephase.com/religion-and-nations-ep]Religion and Nations in EP | Eclipse Phase[/url] Ultimately of course, if you don't like the way we did things, by all means change it in your game, and post your version using our Creative Commons license :) [/QUOTE]
