Hi everyone! For a long time after the first ten years of the Anonassi War, the Humans held their areas of the Lost Lands, fighting back the Anonassi to a standstill but making little progress. Unfortunately, this was due to the Anonassi improving their tactics and what they were willing to commit to the field….
Hi everyone! As Amy said in her last post, I (Ed) am taking over for a month, while she has a bit of a holiday! I’m going to talk to you about three amazing comics today… Firstly, there’s the Bug War. Some of you may remember the Bug War 2 Kickstarter, which ran at the…

As you can see from this week’s featured image, we’re still moving ahead with the completion of our Consortium miniatures project. This is really where we’re putting all our focus for the moment along with getting out the second wave of Expansions to our backers. This process will be taking up most of our energy…
Hi everyone! Just my regular Era: The Empowered Update, to let you know where we are at! I’ve made a lot of progress on the writing and editing, which is now entirely complete – a relief to be sure! Part 5 is now with Hande for proofreading and Parts 2, 3 and 4 are with…
Each Clan offers their members unique technologies and abilities. One of those is the D’Aoust defensive suit. This piece of equipment offers something no other Clan can – a chance to repel and disable any Anonassi who gets close enough in battle. Favoured by salvagers and combatants alike, these suits will make anything that tries…
Mark your calendars for the next big Era game! Era: The Chosen is planned to begin its Kickstarter event on August 15th and this game is unlike anything we’ve done so far.

It’s official, Home Base is now being proofread and we expect it to be finished soon! Thank you to everyone for your patience as we worked through this last batch of expansion books. We had a mountain of content to create and we hope you really enjoy the end results of all that hard work….
Hi everyone! One of the earliest types of Anonassi to appear and one of the most terrifying to this day, Brutes may not be intelligent but they are incredibly strong and tough. Operating more on highly-evolved instinct once in combat, some speculate they enter a blood rage when engaged. Either way, their activities are a…

Our feature image today says it all. The Consortium miniatures project is getting some color! The extremely talented Simon Parr is taking the prototypes and turning them into works of art. The armor details and skin shading are impressive and I can’t wait to see how they all come together! Keep checking back here to…
Hi everyone! In the First Era of the Anonassi War, the Humans were outmatched physically, so they had to rely on wits, brains and cunning! This is the time in the game where you can have “swashbuckling” type adventures, as well as face an enemy which exceeds your abilities in every way! – Ed ———————————————————————————————————————— Ira…

We’re working our way through the Stiletto Unit Miniature collection! Next up is the athletic Kutsutas. This energetic Stiletto teammate started out as an extreme sports athlete in her youth, garnering fame and recognition with her impressive physical skills. However, once she learned that Smertios Security was responsible for the death of her parents she…
Hi everyone! Another type of Anonassi frequently encountered in the early years of the Anonassi War is the Hellhound. Fast, stealthy and brutal, these creatures bear a passing resemblance to the hounds of mythology and, once again, the early name seemed descriptive enough to stick. Imagine running into one of these in the dark lands…
We had an amazing time at MCM Comicon over the weekend. It was great to see so many new fans as well as those who are already familiar with what we do. Thank you to everyone who stopped by and played a session with us, picked up a game, or just came over to chat….
Today’s featured image showcases Zeelaay, the Stiletto unit pilot and heavy weapons expert. This grim-faced warrior was the first to garner Steve Adam’s respect for his discipline and skill. What Zeelaay lacks in small talk, he more than makes up for in combat knowledge and sheer determination. He prefers to let his rocket launcher do…
Hi everyone! Today, I’m talking about the Rostov Clan. The third clan to join the group, the Rostovs are devoted to controlling information. They ensure that no-one finds out about the Chosen or the Anonassi War that is happening. For generations, they have dominated Harbour City and the battlefield within the Lost Lands with their tactical…

Today’s featured miniature is Stiletto Unit sniper, Alex Gyter. This hot-headed member of the team is pictured with his two favorite pastimes; a deadly long-range rifle and a bottle of liquor. Gyter may enjoy a few too many drinks now and again but when it comes to defending Stiletto Unit he always comes through. Gyter…

The time has come for all Evil Overlords to join in our newest adventure… pardon me while I break out my evil laugh, “Mwahaha!” Evil Overlords is our latest card game and this one is all about trying to create the biggest baddest evil minion army of them all. In order to do that you’ll…

Ed has loads of wonderful things planned for what’s coming next in the Consortium universe and one of the things we’re most excited to show you are these figures. So far, I’ve…
Hi everyone! Today, I’m talking about one of the kinds of Anonassi. The humanoid “Fallen” had the appearance of fallen angels in the opinion of the first Chosen, and the name stuck. The Fallen are remarkable for their telepathic powers, which make them the only Anonassi who have communicated with Humans. Alongside their terrifying appearance,…
