Eleven years ago, Ed started writing Era: The Consortium. That was the first time you would would identify the game we now have. But the roots of the Six GM’s were asked to run a game of Firefly as part of a 24-hour event, but they decided to come up with their own sci-fi universe…

Hi everyone! Ed here. I don’t believe that our games are finished when they are printed and sent into the world. The only way that the best quality can be delivered consistently is by being aware of what it takes beyond the playtesting and printing. Some of the additions that I created for The Era…

Hi everyone! I have a tradition, when coming to the end of a year, of talking about what we have done and what’s coming. There are more games, more comics and more audio planned, everything you would expect, along with some things you might not. But the most important thing that’s coming is none of…

Hi everyone! I’m going to keep it short this week. Last week, I was not able to join you because I have just moved house from my home of 5 years and that was pretty exhausting! Even so, creation halts for nothing, so I have delivered Violete #2’s Digital Rewards this week, along with preparing…
Hi everyone! I wanted to take a moment this week to talk about one of my favourite books that I’ve ever written, which is an expansion for Era: The Consortium called Revival.

Hey folks, Leo here, with some more sound advice for this Audio Drama Sunday! This time it’s about characterisation then a little focus for creating those voices in the booth. First things first: remember that inspiration can come from anywhere, not just a character’s backstory or the universe’s preconceptions. Ask yourself whether anything else inspired…
