What is Shades of Vengeance?
We are a company with a simple goal: to create universes that inspire, and express them in ways that give you an amazing experience! We do this in several ways: Roleplaying Games, Comics, Audio Dramas, Card Games, Novels, Movies and more. Every universe demands that its story is told in the right way, and we believe that anyone can bring a universe to life.
We create games!
We’ve made 14 Roleplaying Games and have 3 Card Games completed so far, with more on the way. Each of them has an expansive universe with endless potential!
We produce comics!
We love to expand our game universes, and have produced numerous comics to tell more stories!
We help people make their ideas a reality!
We love to help people achieve their own ideas! We’ve worked with 3 game designers already, and have other projects in progress!

OUR FAQS
How can you support us?
We are always producing new games and comics to expand our universes! You can check the list on the right of this page and our Blog for more details of what’s coming soon.
We believe that a universe can never be entirely complete, that there are always more stories to tell, and we’re devoted to expanding the detail within our universes through comics and expansions to our games, as well as introducing new ones to the Era d10 Rule Set which binds our games together!
We also run a Patreon, which allows you to get monthly content of all kinds, which supports our games and others.
What do you offer?
Thanks to our experience, we are able to help with all aspects needed to complete your game.
What we do not do, if you are a creator who comes to us, is buy your idea off you. We will help you produce your game, you have the last say on every aspect and, at the end of our collaboration, the book remains your Intellectual Property – you invented it, after all!
Sounds Great! I have this idea...
If you want us to help you produce a game idea you have, we have a variety of options, which you can speak to one of our team about by clicking here.
We are always eager to help people develop their ideas into games. If you would like to work with us, please visit our Game Creator page and fill out the form to contact us.
Okay But i don't have much money…
That’s fine, we certainly didn’t have enough to produce our first game when we started! What we can do is help you run a Kickstarter (here’s an example) to gain funding in return for a small portion of the profits.
Every deal we make is unique and tailored to you, so we can suit what you need.
Awesome! Expect my game's not finished
This is also something we’ve allowed for. We can provide you with assistance to finish your game. We have a team of writers, artists, programmers, layout guys and marketing people, who are all experienced with the creation and marketing of games.
We’re all here to help you make your game a reality!
I’M Not Sure my idea good enough, Really..
In our experience, every idea has value and can be made into part or all of a great game which people will enjoy. We strongly encourage you to contact us and ask what we think – don’t not create something because you’re too unsure of your idea, please!
We’ll help you get it ready. We have game creators in our company with experience who are willing to help you achieve your vision.
How about bwyond the Kickstarter ?
We are currently working with a small group of stores across the world to distribute Shades of Vengeance books. We will be happy to talk with them about your book and work with both parties to get it on the shelves.
We will also offer it on our own Store and give you a share of any profits, based on an agreement!
Finally, you will own the IP of the book, so anything you would like to do to sell it yourself is fine!
What has Shades of Vengeance produceds ?
Since our company formation in February 2014, we’ve created two types of games:
- Tabletop Roleplaying Games such as Era: The Consortium, Era: Lyres and Era: The Empowered
- Card Games such as Champion of Earth and Evil Overlord
- We’ve worked with several game creators
- Amazing Space Adventures ended its Kickstarter at 125% funded.
- Order of the Link ended its Kickstarter at 736% funded.
- Marked for Death ended its Kickstarter at just under 200% funded.
We’re always hoping to encounter more people looking to get their games out there. If you think you might be interested, check out our Game Creator page to open a dialogue.
