Hi everyone! You might remember that, several years ago, we worked with Wayne Brown and the Rochester Fantasy Fans to create Amazing Space Adventures in one of our first ever Kickstarters! They had been developing the idea behind it for well over 20 years and when they met us at Animé North in Canada, they…
Ed is pulling out all the stops for this year’s MCM Comicon in London! He’s going to bring along all of our games and give you the opportunity to try out sessions of your favorites. He is also planning to give away some free stuff during the event so be sure you stop by early…
It’s that time of year again when Ed gathers up a big bundle of all our best games and goodies and brings them out to share with everyone. He’s not quite like Santa Claus but close. Ed’s been planning sessions and collecting supplies for weeks in anticipation of this convention and he’s just about ready…
The first convention of 2016 is almost upon us! We have so many fabulous games to show you and loads of fun stuff to bring along that Ed’s probably going to rent a car to haul it all. Set your watch to meet us at AnimeCon in London on February 5th. Anyone who’s seen us…
Hi everyone!I thought it might be a good idea to do a sort of “What have we done this year?” post. So I started looking over everything we have done, and my instant reaction was “Wow, that is a lot!” Well, here goes: This time last year, we had a lot of commitments – Era:…
I’ve been talking a lot these last few weeks about work being done in the background. Quite often when I don’t have much news to give you it’s because our independent creators are busy working quietly on their own and at their own pace. We never want to rush our creators into developing a game…
I’m pleased to announce that another one of our creator inspired games is available on DriveThru RPG. Marked for Death is now on the shelf and ready to be played! You can also check out our previous games while you’re shopping for that perfect holiday gift. Both Amazing Space Adventures and Order of the Link,…
Some days it feels like the progress of one game just races along while others slowly plod ahead towards an unseen finish line. Every game creator has their own timeline and sometimes that doesn’t match the hectic pace that Ed has set with his Era games. We strive to keep our creators moving forward at the…
Things are in the works. Right now, Ed is busy discussing rules, art, ideas, and all things game related with the creators of both Ether and our newest game. This is the difficult part, the part where we don’t have art to dazzle you or stories to mesmerize you. Work is being done and progress…
The fun is almost done. Today is your last chance to come visit with us at MCM and play through a session with our mighty team of GM’s. There are lives to save and Stiletto Unit needs YOU. Besides, there won’t be another shot at this until December so put yourself on a train, a…
We’re heading to MCM Comicon in less than a week now and we really hope to see you there. Along with playing sessions of our games you’ll have a chance to meet and discuss your ideas with the creator of Marked for Death as well as Ether. There’s going to be no better time to…
They’re prepped, they’re stretched and we’re thinking about having them bathed and shaved as well. Ed has spent the last several weeks training our specially chosen team of GM’s in preparation for MCM Comicon. It’s right around the corner! We’ve been throwing our GM’s into every possible scenario we can think of: dragon stampede, spaceship…
It is time once again for the Big Game Round Up! Grab your ropes and saddle up ‘cuz I’m a gonna run us through the entire list of what’s what and who’s who in the game development corral. Alright, I think I’ve used up all my cowboy references for the month. So, here we go!…
This is your 5 day warning: Marked for Death is coming down in less than a week! Don’t panic, there are plenty of great rewards still available like digital and physical rulebooks, extra sessions and an opportunity to feature your very own character on the website as a sample. Besides rewards we’ve also got Stretch…
It’s officially a slow news day. All of our games are being feverishly developed but today I don’t have a single big announcement to give you. That sort of thing happens at times and you have to know how to handle it. So, to help you out I’ve come up with a few quick ideas…
Marked for Death is heading down the tunnel, we’re only a couple of short weeks away from getting this game to Kickstarter! Right now we’re creating a few new GIF’s, recording an intro video and finalizing all the prep work. Are you ready for this? As we enter the countdown for our next indie game…
I know what you’re thinking. All those photos from MCM London look fabulous and you wish you could have made it but… your apartment was attacked by ninjas… you were forced to rescue a gaggle of old women from a sinking ship… a meteor struck your car just the moment before you were going to…
This is it, today is your last chance to see us at MCM! The fun is winding down and in a few hours everything will be packed away but until then we’ll still be running games. We’ve got copies of Amazing Space Adventures and Order of the Link just waiting for you. This is also…
Hi everyone! Amy already promised that I’d give some photos of what the booth looks like at the end of setup today. So here they are! Someone (who will remain nameless!) forgot one of the black tablecloths, so there’s a wooden table there. I’ll bring it with me tomorrow, so you’ll see a black table…
It’s finally here and my excitement-o-meter is pinging off the charts! Ed is all packed. Our GM’s are on standby. The rulebooks, comics, and posters are stowed and ready to go! Friday is the first day of MCM Comicon and there’s still plenty of tickets left for this one of a kind event. I completely…
Order of the Link Stretch Goals are starting to go up. On the website you can find the names of all our fabulous backers. Also, the Army of Zalobs sample characters are waiting for you.

Hi everyone! I’m really occupied with massive numbers of deliveries right now. I’ve got Order of the Link coming in a few days, Era: The Consortium’s full Core Rulebook a week after that and Era: Lyres by the middle of this month. Add to that posters for convention sales, leaflets (just finished designing those a…
MCM Comicon London (May 22nd – 24th) is getting closer! We can’t wait to get in and run some sessions with everyone. You are coming aren’t you? There will be games to play and you’ll have a chance to sit down with the Era games’ creator, Ed Jowett, as well as a few of the…
It’s time for me to do a round up of all the great games we’ve helped creators to bring to life as well as those we’re currently working on with the creator! We’ve got six games in all and here they are in no particular order. Amazing Space Adventures – Do you remember when we…
We’re almost a week out from our Order of the Link Kickstarter finish and we couldn’t be more pleased with the turn out. It really has been great to see this game, with over 30 years of work and ideas, getting the attention it deserves. If you haven’t checked it out yet, set aside some…
We’re only two months into the new year and already there’s so much going on! I just found out that we’ve officially signed a contract with another game designer. This will be a FATE module game in a science fiction universe that Ed has dubbed, “Defend the Planet!” I’ll get you further details on this…
First off, I want to let everyone know that all of our current projects are running smoothly. Frontier has received some new rule set ideas from a brainstorming session that Ed was in and now those ideas are being perfected. Marked for Death has some new art and you should definitely check it out. You…
Hi everyone! Well, Dice and Stuff are planning to put an interview with me out today as part of their “Behind the Dice” series, so if you’re really wondering what I do and why I do it, that’s the place to start! I’ll edit this post with a link to it once it arrives! EDIT:…
We have just sent off orders for the Amazing Space Adventures Physical Primers and expect those to be delivered soon to all our backers who chose one. Check that you get yours.

If you can’t get enough fabulous science fiction based games, and frankly I know I can’t, then you’re in luck! Shades of Vengeance is currently in negotiations with two more game creators. Both are set in science fiction worlds with one being near future and the other a much farther futuristic vision. I don’t have…
