Fuck it, all in. $130.00 down, finally getting that physical copy of Eclipse Phase. I believe in Know Evil!
I feel like someone infected by Akaja - I'm making decisions based on the adventures of fictional characters.

Alright, what was once just a pitch has now come to pass. Maybe.

At $80K, Posthuman Studios will hire me to write a stand alone scenario that could also serve as a prequel for a group looking to start Know Evil.

In addition to being...well, just pretty darn swell for me, the success of this stretch goal would be a good sign that much lengthier publications (wink wink nudge nudge) might be in order.

There are 6 days left to pledge. Any an all support would be appreciated.

Good. Goooood. Excellent! THE PROPHECY WILL BE ENACTED
So it was written (see what I did there) so it shall be!

I suppose those morph recognition cards would be dandy, and I didn't need that extra $20.00...
Congratulations and good luck!

You guys make an unbearable job where I have to make hundreds of decisions which run counter to my hard-held ethical beliefs every day doable. The podcasts give me something to look forward to when I'm doing my evil shit, ergo I am fine with a percentage of the income earned from that position going to you for extra content. If that makes me an addict, then I'm mainlining APs every day.
Looking forward to the day when I'm listening to this alongside something I like doing.

Extra podcasts would be dandy. The postcards are neat but they're hard to explain in my cubicle and they'd get lost at home.

Con games sound good.
Same reaction here, I will give you all the dollars but I know I'll regret it down the road.

Good old Geop. They eventually settled on a three-commentator system, one generally told the truth, one sort of led him astray, and one got drunk and spoke in haiku a bunch.
Good times, great LP, watch it if you haven't.

Theoretically my group will have a woman run a game or series of games in the near future - we'll see, people other than me always seem to say they'll run a game and then it never materializes. 
Helps that my current group is half female, though, eventually some game's going to be run by a chick.

Hey Ross - with the creation of FATE Core as an open system, are you sticking with a base of STRANGE FATE or will Base Raiders be using FATE Core?

Some folks over on the Something Awful forums have started doing an AP of Eclipse Phase. More importantly, as of episode 4, they are playing a variant of Know Evil, and there have been a couple of sly cameos of the RPPR crew's characters as things have progressed.

Yes, someone big could recover from a tazer that quickly, but he's not going to feel very well for a good long while. It's possible (rare) for someone to just soldier through being tazed, especially if the prods don't make good contact. Usually folks that can withstand a tazing are pretty damn high on PCP, coke or something similar, though.

I ran a Spirit of the Century game set in the New York Museum of Natural History, and I used a bunch of images to help immerse my players. I collected them into this imgur gallery.

'Part-quarterly' is monthly. A 'fiscal year' for my agency only contains two months of the year in question (January and February) and starts the preceding year.

Also a bicycle has two 'tires'.

Yes. And now concentration isn't a skill, and they get additional class features, and expanded spells.
Fighters still just hit things, though they do so a little harder now.
