Handbook

EGS Handbook

The original five founders came together to start something new and unique to the gaming world.

EGS relaunched on October 1, 2022.

EGS MISSION STATEMENT

Since the first day of existence, Eclipse Gaming Syndicate and its leaders have strived to provide a fun, safe and structured environment for all to succeed.
