Imagine waking up one day and something’s… different. You feel it in your chest, in your head, in the way the world suddenly bends around you. You don’t know how or why but you’re not like everyone else anymore. You’ve got superpowers. Real ones. The question isn’t just “what can you do?”It’s “what will you…
You won’t see Penumbra coming. Not when she enters. Not when she leaves. Not even when she’s standing right behind you.

Dear Diary, Today’s heroic highlights: tripped over and faceplanted in mud (fashionably, of course), then got outwitted by a squirrel.

So what if I’m…

I used to watch the Empowered on the news. Now I watch them from my window, fighting something they don’t understand. It started with a blackout. Then the screams. Now there’s this thing… tall, humming, glowing. It’s walking through the streets like it owns them. They say it was an accident. That Penumbra made a…
In a galaxy carved up by corporations, freedom is just a word they print on recruitment posters. And survival? That’s something you earn: day by day, scar by scar. Elliot was just a kid when his parents died and left him stranded on Taranis. Others see it as a jewel, but he just sees a…
They hit fast, no warning, and no mercy, just wreckage and static where entire colonies used to be. Now it’s just us and our Paladin fighters, holding the line in the dead quiet of space. There’s no one coming to save us. No reinforcements. Just a handful of pilots who know this might be the…

They burned the forests. They poisoned the seas. They built their cities on what used to be ours. But the earth doesn’t forget. Neither do we. You’re not here to save anyone. You’re here to fight back. Pick your form. Use your power. Protect what’s yours. In Era: Kaiju, you aren’t the hero… you’re the…
Cascade looks like a fight against a towering robot, but the real story is the moment you face something too big for one set of hands.

We didn’t come here for glory. We came for clean water, a second chance, a piece of land to call our own. But the Consortium owns the pipes, the power, and the air we breathe.Now there’s talk of strikes. Sabotage. Resistance. Me? I don’t want war.I just want my daughter to grow up without a…
“You’re listening to Radio Free Taranis… if this broadcast reached you, you’re not as alone as you think.” I didn’t know what I was looking for that night…just noise to drown out the silence. And then I heard him. Midnight Terry. Talking like he knew exactly what I was afraid to say out loud. Radio…

Hi, everyone! I promised last week I was going to talk about the world of Era: Forbidden, so here we are! Imagine the modern world. Now imagine that angels and demons appeared out of nowhere, attacking each other, fighting and not really caring about humans. Aside from demons choosing to feed off humans, that is…
Hi everyone! I think if you’re going to have a position on AI, you need to have tried it, used it and understood what the limitations are. I am broadly against AI in creativity. I’ve had all the horror stories you can imagine: writing submitted by people claiming it was theirs, artwork… I wanted to…

Out here, in the middle of nowhere, every choice feels like it could change everything. We are not just playing a game, we’re living fractured timelines, navigating alliances that don’t always make sense, and uncovering secrets older than any world we’ve known. It’s chaotic, dangerous, and nothing like what we expected when we first signed…

[Note found in a burned-out safehouse] I tried living the life they wanted. Kept my head down. Did what I was told. Pretended the powers didn’t matter. But every time I saw someone in trouble and did nothing… it ate at me. So I left. No plan. Just me, the streets, and this… calling. Then…
REPORT: An unidentified craft has parked over Main Street. Citizens are arming themselves with household gadgets and questionable courage. Authorities urge calm, right after they finish duct-taping lasers to the town statue. In Champion of Earth, you’re one headline away from glory.

Hi everyone! I’ve recently been running a couple of workshops at MCM Comic Con, attempting to create Tabletop RPGs in an hour. These have been generally successful and tend to go the same way: there are loads of ideas, and some of them can be combined together into something that’s really quite interesting and exciting…
She can tap any pair of eyes. Useful, until a power-hungry figure named Jan turns her into a walking surveillance hub.
