News relating to Era: Lyres
I can count on one hand the number of hurdles we need to jump before every edition of the Lyres rulebook lands on our doorsteps. We’re getting close! Right now our handpicked collection of proofreaders are skimming, reading, devouring and dissecting this rulebook. Once they’ve finished with their analysis and have given Ed every note…
Hi everyone!

It started small; just a thought that grew into a dream. That dream led to our first Era game which is being played by a fantastic group of dedicated fans. It’s been an amazing process and we couldn’t be happier with the success of the games we’ve created but today I’ve got some news that’s…
The Deluxe edition is ready for proofreaders. Our team of dedicated professionals have looked it over and under and sideways until they’re seeing trolls in their breakfast cereal. It’s not quite shelf ready just yet but it is time to get a new pair of eyes for a fresh read. We’re searching specifically for someone…
Hi everyone! Sorry I am a little late with this post. I just sent out all of the Consortium Hardbacks!

Hi everyone! Just a short one today, I’m really busy right now! I’m working on the Lyres Deluxe layout, just got the last story from Amy… it’s looking great, you guys will love it. The Secret War is coming along very nicely. We’ve got all but one of the stories and all but 2 of…
A small taster from some more of what’s coming in the Deluxe Version of Era: Lyres: The Day of Heroes On a side note; I’d be particularly interested in knowing if any of you could bake a Troll in a Roll. If you think you can, come and surprise us with it at our next…

Hi everyone! I’m preparing for a brand new convention tomorrow, which is going to be great, I’ll be running at least one Order of the Link game (along with several of Era: The Consortium and Era: Lyres of course) at JoyJam in Bethnal Green!

Things are slowing down in the world of Era: Lyres. We’re approaching the end of our creation period and soon it will be time to finalize the deluxe rulebook! I know you’re excited; I am too. We’ve only got one more story to write and perhaps a smattering of art left. I don’t want to…
Don’t be taken in by their initially adorable appearances. These masters of subtlety have evolved a menacing set of skills and a “take no prisoners” attitude. Grown men have been reduced to sweaty tear streaked blubbery messes after a confrontation with the… WERERABBIT! See the story Rabbits by Moonlight if you have no idea what…
Hi everyone! I’m able to take a little bit of a break this week! Makes a change… I only have to wait for the prints I’ve ordered to arrive (should be next week, I think), run a playtest for Era: The Empowered tomorrow, and deal with a couple of ongoing things like the Era: The…

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!

I’ve also been working hard with Stefan,…
Making dreams come true has never been this much fun. The Era: Lyres Kickstarter finished up at 267% funded!
