Hi everyone! Our number has increased massively in the last 12 hours or so, to the point that I can now tell you that we have achieved our $4000 stretch goal! Pull out your Sniper Rifles and take aim! This Stretch Goal lets us expand the Mobile Application to include a Combat Tracking function. This…

Hi everyone! We’ve managed to reach our 300% Stretch Goal! It’s absolutely amazing we’ve made it this far, and I’m proud to be sending this to so many fans of the game! Pull out your laser pistols and get ready, because here’s the reward: One of the things that has generated the most interest amongst those…

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! I have been receiving images from Tan Sim, a new artist we’ve taken on for completing a few of the last images! 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…

Head on over and check out the various rewards we are offering, including Comics, the Rulebook Primer (v1.0!), the Full Rulebook in digital, paperback and hardcover forms and much more! Feel…

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…

Hi everyone, Exciting news! We’re going to be starting our Kickstarter on 10th October 2014. The Kickstarter will give you the chance to buy the Rulebook Primer, Full Rulebook, Comic and everything else we’ve produced so far, as well as having a few juicy stretch goals (an application to assist with character creation on iOS…

Hi everyone! A week ago, I posted that Era: The Consortium is nearly complete, and since then I’ve been bombarded by requests to see what the actual rulebook looks like. As a result, I’m unable to resist giving you guys a sneak peek! Here are three images, screenshots taken from within the book (they are…

Hi everyone! I am pleased to be able to announce that Era: The Consortium is nearing its completion as a full rulebook. Some of you have already purchased the Era: The Consortium Rulebook Primer, and a few of you have even followed us for the full two years we’ve been working on this project. With…

Hi everyone! Have any of you ever wondered what it’s like to play Era: The Consortium? Dice and Stuff have actually had a go and stuck it up online as a podcast! They are exploring the universe as Claymore Unit, a small group who joined with Stiletto Unit in the assault leading up to the…
