Revival is currently with the proofreaders and Ed…
I don’t have a great deal of news for you today, just a couple quick notes regarding where we’re at with our last two Expansion books. I spoke to Ed today and he was hard at work on Revival. He told me that this book is now undergoing its final edit and I can’t wait…
There is so much happening right now at Shades of Vengeance that I have trouble keeping track of it all. Thankfully, Ed always keeps me up to speed on everything going on. This week he has loads of news for us and I’m going to start with the upcoming Era: Survival expansion Kickstarter! By this…

Last year, I mentioned that Ed had a long list of potential expansions for Consortium. It’s true. He’s been collecting ideas for over two years, each one bigger and better than the next. We delivered quite a few of them during our Kickstarter last year, which is now just finishing fulfillment… but, now that we…
So, you’ve heard me talking over the past few weeks about several of our fantastic Consortium Expansions.

It’s GM Day! It’s a great idea to celebrate those fantastic Game Masters and the folks who work so hard to bring these adventures to life for us all to enjoy and occasionally be tormented with. So, in honor of this special day, Ed has declared that there will be equally special discounts happening this…
As promised, I’m going to spend all of today delving into Era: The Consortium’s Definitive Edition Rulebook. Folks, this is so much more than a few extra stories!

Are you one of those people who just can’t get enough of the Consortium? Here’s a couple good ways to check: Does your roommate complain that you’re constantly plotting your next Resistance mission instead of dealing with the recycling? Have you ever had a dream in the sacred song-like language of the Vilithii? Do you…
Things are looking good in the world of the Consortium. Everyone is hard at work finishing up the various elements of all our expansions and Ed expects to be done mostly on schedule. So, let me tell you where each of these books are at! The Definitive Edition Rulebook is fully written and is just…
Transom street, which once ended at the bottom of a hill in a sweeping cul de sac, was now little more than a line of shelled out buildings falling in on themselves. Fighting between Smertios soldiers and Resistance units had left the entire neighborhood in a scatter of rubble. Several high-end shops had been blown…
This is it folks, we’re looking at the end of 2016. Grab a glass of your favorite beverage and help me toast to a job well done, new friends, and an amazing team of creators. It’s truly impressive to think back on all that we’ve done. I know I’ve learned a lot this past year…
I don’t have a lot of time today but still wanted to swing by and give you a few quick status updates. Ed has let me know that the first proofreading pass for Time Travel 1 is done and we are currently working through the second pass now. Time Travel 2 is approaching the end…
Hi everyone! Another year has passed already. Honestly, I can hardly believe it. But we are here and 2016 has been a very different year to any previous to this, so I thought I would cover the things that we’ve achieved this year, as well as adding a few thoughts about where we are going….
Most of the promised rewards have been finished and are in the final delivery stage. The remaining expansions are working their way to the end and here’s the breakdown of what’s happening.

There are days working this job where we have so many things going on, I’ll be honest with you, even I don’t know everything that’s happening. Which is why it’s fantastic when Ed wants to give us a catch-up day where he lets us in on the status of everything that’s currently being worked on….
