Esper Genesis is a versatile science fiction RPG and setting that uses the 5th edition rules of the world's greatest roleplaying game.
Hello, Espers! Please hold on to your hats and belongings. It is our pleasure to reveal the cover of the Esper Genesis Threats Database, by the incomparable Charles Urbach!
Hello, Espers! We are looking at a complete Core Manual. Watch your inboxes tonight!
Thank you all for you patience!

Hello Espers!
I have been reconstructing and adjusting our art links as Rich has been finalizing the text for the Core Manual, and our esteemed cover artist, Charles Urbach, is putting the finishing touches on the piece for the cover.
In short, we're working hard to get you a PDF of the Core Manual by next week.
Thank you all for your patience with us. My new laptop is working great, and making a lot of this work easier. We've also implemented several layers of backup, including cloud storage, to ensure this never happens again.
We can't wait to hear from you once you get the Core Manual and start playing with everything in it.
Next steps are the Master Technician's Guide and Threats Database.
Because this delay has cut down our window for overseas printing in time for the Summer convention season, we are exploring domestic printing options again, so that you'll have physical copies of all the books as soon as possible. We'll keep you updated.
Thanks again,
Brian, Rich, Eric and Chris
Last night, my laptop was stolen from my vehicle. It contained all my design work for Esper Genesis, as well as all the other projects I am working on, including my regular design job. We have a good backup design file for the Core Manual, and we have the original art files, but all the adjusted and tinkered art links that were in the Core Manual were lost, and need to be redone. I understand many of you will be disappointed to hear this will delay the Core Manual - it will not make Origins as we had hoped, and the PDF we were hoping to send in a few days may be delayed another week or two. As I'm sure many of you can relate, the last 4 years of my life were in that laptop. My backup externals were in the laptop bag, as I was doing file transfers yesterday afternoon, so they are gone, too, along with my tablet, checks, and a lot of other personal information. I'm wrecked, but will carry on. I ask only for your patience as we move through this. Your support has been amazing, and this turn of events has only reminded me of how much you deserve the best product we can deliver. We're changing our processes to store more all of our.data in the cloud, including the treated art files, which are large files, but worth the expense to prevent this from happening in the future. Thank you.
We are back from GAMA Trade Show and getting closer to finishing up the Core Manual! Here's a look at the opening spread to the Starships chapter, featuring art from the incomparable Markus Vogt!
We hope to wrap up work on the Core Manual soon, and are hoping to have the cover art to show, as well!
