As long as it’s not dead, I’m willing to wait as long as it takes to see this. Just from the bit I’ve seen so far, Empyrean seems like it’s something I’ve been looking for in a far future sci-fi game since I started gaming.

I figured I should give an update on this, since it’s generated a lot of curiosity.

The initial date I gave for putting out Empyrean material was a bit ambitious, despite the fact that most of the setting material is already written. Empyrean is a game that Derek Swirsky & I developed six or seven years ago for a home campaign. It started out as a setting for Traveller; later we wrote rules. As luck would have it, we used a percentile system — making converting a lot of the material to EP extremely easy.

However, we got a bit ahead of ourselves and underestimated the amount of time we’d be spending on other projects. I’ve been spending a huge amount of time on Eclipse Phase, so getting to the task of editing Empyrean has been rough. That said, Derek & I remain committed to releasing Empyrean material, and we still plan to port it to the EP system. At this time we don’t have any set release dates, but I do hope that we’ll be able to put something out by the end of 2010.

Thanks for all of your interest and encouragement.

Hoping to get more updates on this, I’d definately purchase a copy.

I’m totally looking forward to this, and backward, in a strange relativistic sort of way. I just want it.

Jack, I just saw this. If you are looking for other writers for the main books or for supplements, I’d love to be part of the effort, this looks *very* cool.
