They’re prepped, they’re stretched and we’re thinking about having them bathed and shaved as well.

Before the time of awakening, when all Vilithii lived under the direction of one being, life was simple: act in accordance with the knowledge that you were in the presence of a living god. One all-powerful being, consuming and draining the essence of lower lifeforms. This god was self-named, Vilithii, and in their devotion all…
Hi everyone! I feel like Shades of Vengeance games are grouping into “Generations” as I look both forward and back over our achievements – not based on evolutions in the Rule Set, just in terms of the teams that work on them and what they do. I thought that, today, I’d share my thoughts on…

Hi everyone! Things have been pretty crazy here for a while now. I’ve got no real plans to change anything, although certain individuals are trying to persuade me to take a day off at some point.

A few days ago I announced that Ed has been hard at work finding shops to carry the Era titles. One thing I didn’t tell you was how much they love Era: The Consortium. Every shop we approach has been blown away by the story, the depth of history, artwork, and unique rule system. It’s…

There’s more to the Consortium universe than we’ve been letting on. In our second expansion game we pull back the curtain to reveal a new world and a new species. Are they peaceful, are they violent? Could they tip the currently precarious balance of power and send everyone spinning into chaos? You’ll just have to…
Hi everyone! It’s been a really busy week over here. The Marked For Death Kickstarter reached a successful conclusion, just short of the $1000 stretch goal.
