Hi everyone! There is a brand new Dice and Stuff out now – Episode 37! Check it out over there and keep an eye on their site, they have something planned! – Ed P.S. Apologies for my mistake last week, there was an episode, but it went up later than usual!
I can count on one hand the number of hurdles we need to jump before every edition of the Lyres rulebook lands on our doorsteps. We’re getting close! Right now our handpicked collection of proofreaders are skimming, reading, devouring and dissecting this rulebook. Once they’ve finished with their analysis and have given Ed every note…
Every once in a while I find it’s a good idea to touch base with all our games. We’ve got so many of them in the works right now, it is sometimes hard to get a good feel for what we’re working on and we want you to tell us which game sounds the most…
It’s time once again for another installment of our Time Travel Campaign Session Packs. Visit our page to get digital copies of sessions #11-15 and continue exploring The Consortium’s alternate history. The story is moving on and so should you be!

Hi everyone! If you are up to date with our latest news, you already know that we have shipped all Era: The Consortium rulebooks to backers, I have finished writing the Lyres Deluxe version and am just waiting for the response from a couple of proofreaders and that Era: The Empowered is coming along reasonably…
It started small; just a thought that grew into a dream. That dream led to our first Era game which is being played by a fantastic group of dedicated fans. It’s been an amazing process and we couldn’t be happier with the success of the games we’ve created but today I’ve got some news that’s…
Work on the Empowered Rulebook Primer is well underway and we’re making some great progress. Right now Ed’s completed about 3/4 of the writing! This game looks to be flying along and we hope to keep up the great momentum. It still needs some layout work and Keith is busy creating fresh images for it…
Hi everyone! As some of you may have already observed, there is no Consortium Dice and Stuff podcast this week. Instead, there’s a cryptic image… go check it out! See if you can figure out what they have planned – even I don’t know! – Ed
The Deluxe edition is ready for proofreaders. Our team of dedicated professionals have looked it over and under and sideways until they’re seeing trolls in their breakfast cereal. It’s not quite shelf ready just yet but it is time to get a new pair of eyes for a fresh read. We’re searching specifically for someone…
Do you know the old saying, “A watched pot never boils”? Well right now I’m quite literally staring at the Marked for Death website and tapping my teeth in expectation. I can’t wait to announce the Kickstarter! But, we’ve got just a few more things to finish first. We’re getting closer day by day. A…
That’s it folks. Return your seats to their upright positions and stow your trays, our flight is about to land. The last shipment of Hardcover editions for the Consortium rulebook have arrived. We have copies that will be sent out to a few more backers as well as a couple that we’ll keep on reserve…
Hi everyone! Sorry I am a little late with this post. I just sent out all of the Consortium Hardbacks! I’ve had a busy week this week: – Era: Lyres is with the proofreaders, I’m expecting comments in about a week! – Era: The Consortium Hardbacks have been sent out to all backers from the Kickstarter….
Today, I want to direct your attention to our totally refurbished and ultimately fabulous web design. Ed has been working day and night (in between all those other things he does) to get our new style up and running. You have to check out Era: The Consortium and its latest changes! With a sleek new…
Occasionally we like to get inside our lead creator’s head and try to find out just what’s going on up there. With our latest Era game I thought this was the perfect chance to ask some of those burning questions that might be rattling around. If I missed your favorite question please feel free to…
Hi everyone! The latest Dice and Stuff is out now. Loot. Everyone’s favourite thing, right? Adam’s giving it out in spades after they stole the Freighter from the last episode. Check it out here! – Ed
The last story for the special Deluxe Edition Lyres rulebook has been written and approved! We’ll have a piece of art created soon to go with that story and Ed is busy tackling the first layout draft of the Deluxe book. It seems like only yesterday I was sending out a call for backers and…
I spoke with Ed just a few short days ago and he informed me that his work on the new character sheet in Marked for Death is complete. There are also more images on the way for this rulebook and I’m excited to see what our artists have come up with. We’re one big step…
There’s something about being totally immersed in a universe that’s absolutely amazing and hard to explain to anyone who doesn’t get it. When you’re inside the world of a great RPG it wraps you up and transports you completely. It’s more interactive than watching a movie and gives you infinitely more control than a video…
Hi everyone! Just a short one today, I’m really busy right now! I’m working on the Lyres Deluxe layout, just got the last story from Amy… it’s looking great, you guys will love it. The Secret War is coming along very nicely. We’ve got all but one of the stories and all but 2 of…
Ed has been busy over the last few weeks testing out the new design to our website. Right now we’ve got the Era: The Consortium page up and running so go check it out. I really love the sharp new look. What do you think? It’s a totally different vision and we’re really excited about…
So far, we’ve given you a nice little sampling of our Era: The Empowered universe. There’s been fantastic new art, an introductory session for those of you who’ve seen us at conventions and you’ve met one of our principal characters; Jim Upton. Well, today I get to give you a taste of the Backstory. The…
Hi everyone! Another episode from Dice and Stuff this week! This time, they board a Hardcastle Haulage vessel and… well, exert excessive force, in my opinion. What do you think? Episode 34: The Yellow Mice – Ed
A small taster from some more of what’s coming in the Deluxe Version of Era: Lyres: The Day of Heroes On a side note; I’d be particularly interested in knowing if any of you could bake a Troll in a Roll. If you think you can, come and surprise us with it at our next…
Did you get a chance to play one of our games with Ed yesterday? If you’re a new fan joining us today, welcome! Thanks for stopping by and why don’t you sit yourself down and relax. If you love RPG’s then you’re in the right place. Yesterday, Ed was running games at JoyJam in Bethnal…

Hi everyone! I’m preparing for a brand new convention tomorrow, which is going to be great, I’ll be running at least one Order of the Link game (along with several of Era: The Consortium and Era: Lyres of course) at JoyJam in Bethnal Green!

I said we’d be bringing our games to a neighborhood near you and I’m thrilled to tell you that we’ve already planned our next event! So, what are you doing this Saturday? Ed is going to be at JoyJam, the totally and completely free Micro-Expo at Bethnal Green in East London at The Pickle Factory….
When Ed ran the first campaign of Era: The Empowered at MCM Comicon it was a hit. Folks loved the game and wanted to know where they could buy a copy right there and then. It was tough to break the news that our latest game is just in the beginning of development and won’t…
Hi everyone! Claymore Unit, newly patched up from their encounter with the Orion, have come up with a nice, complex plan to reclaim a piece of equipment on Gateway! Because the complex plans are waaay better! Check out the details here… and I’m taking bets about whether it goes as planned! – Ed
Things are slowing down in the world of Era: Lyres. We’re approaching the end of our creation period and soon it will be time to finalize the deluxe rulebook! I know you’re excited; I am too. We’ve only got one more story to write and perhaps a smattering of art left. I don’t want to…
