200-page EVE: Source hardcover is heavy with EVE Online lore

In EVE Online, there's lore that doesn't make splashy headlines. There's backstory that often stays in the background. There are roles and religions and political machinations there for the inquisitive, or ignored by the ignorant. There's even a spate of short fiction putting flesh on the game's bones.

A new 200-page hardcover book, EVE: Source, turns the spotlight on the foundations of EVE Online's massively multiplayer online sci-fi galaxy. The four player factions come equipped with history, traditions, and aspirations. The non-player factions do, too. There are glittering and guttural cities you never see in game, regulations you never hear about running the NPC police units, and engineering specs to ships you never see the inside of.

EVE: Source isn't a strategy guide. It's more for role-players (and role-playing curious) that like some narrative to accompany their game of "spreadsheets in space." 

Also, EVE: True Stories #2 is out and free for the taking. It continues the true, emergent-narrative, in-game story of a single person toppling one of the most renown corporations of EVE's first 10 years.

EVE: Source is now available from Dark Horse Comics. Look for our upcoming review.
