Hi everyone! Firstly, I’d like to thank everyone for their contribution to this campaign. Without you, whether you supported us monetarily or by spreading the word, we couldn’t have done any of this.

Hi everyone! The third week of our Kickstarter has come to an end, and we’re pleased to tell you that we’ve achieved another Stretch Goal, so all of you who pledged $5 or more will be getting a new 7-page comic when it’s released, Counting Down From One Part 1! This follows the actions of…

Hi everyone! Week 2 has come to an end, and it’s truly inspiring to see so much support for this project we’ve all put so much time and effort into. If you’re going to MCM Comicon in London this weekend, we’re actually there running games for the whole three days, as well as a few…

Hi everyone! So… we’ve had quite a few requests for a playtest packet so people can take a look at the rules and have a go at a session. And, because you’re all wonderful people and we want to give you what you want to see in order to understand the game better we have,…

Hi everyone! So… Week 1 of the campaign has now finished. I’m very pleased that we’ve managed to get as far as we have, thank you to everyone who has contributed already! To be funded by now is absolutely brilliant! However, we’ve been having a talk with a few of the people who’ve looked at…

Hi everyone! I’ve been approached by rpgnet and asked to do a Q&A session about Era: The Consortium on their chat room! So, of course, I agreed. It’ll be at 2pm Chicago time, which is 8pm for those of us in the UK, and you can join in through your web browser to get any…

Hi Everyone! We’ve decided to have a small celebration for the Kickstarter being 100% funded!

These images show many of the habitable planets in the Consortium, and a flavour of what society looks like…

Hi everyone! Funded! We made it! In 3 days! I can hardly believe it! I hope we’re not done yet, though – we have more time and so much more potential. There are Stretch Goals up, and have been since the start of the project, because we want to give you all even more than…

Hi everyone! The Kickstarter goes live tomorrow, and we’re all very excited over here! Towards the end of the story of the Consortium, there are rumours of horrible weapons being developed, weapons which will kill a single species within the Consortium, but not significantly harm other species.  Rumours abounded about what had happened to the…

Hi everyone! Just two days left to the Kickstarter. Today, it’s time I spoke about Shaun Hardcastle, one of the most interesting and most important characters in the history of the Consortium – without him, there would be no Resistance, no Elliot Draigon, and a lot less solidarity on Arawn. As his name implies, Shaun…

Hi everyone! Only 3 days until our Kickstarter launch! Today, I’m talking Aliens in Era: The Consortium. When I first started, I thought very carefully about what I wanted to offer the players. Did I want to force them to stick to Humans, but provide a society with all kinds of aliens (perhaps a little…

Hi everyone, Just 4 days to go to launch! Today, I’m going to talk about the ability that you guys will have to play at any point in the history of the Consortium – a factor we have used in the Patreon Campaign to provide you with time travel scenarios! Each item and spaceship has…

Hi everyone! So, for the first of our countdown days, I’m going to take you back to the very beginning of the Consortium. No-one really knows when the Kurmaja was launched from Earth, and no-one really knows whether the Kurmaja was the first of many or the last of any. What everyone does know is…
