Congratulations to everyone who’s worked so hard on Marked for Death. The Kickstarter has reached and surpassed it’s goal! However, we’ve still got quite a few days to make some stretch goals so if you haven’t already, please pass this along to all your friends and neighbors. Trust me, they’ll thank you for it. The…
Hi everyone! I’m super busy right now, because I want to make 100% sure that Era: Lyres Deluxe Edition is perfect before it goes out to the backers. I’m also currently running the Kickstarter for Marked For Death, if you haven’t backed yet, you should check it out! So forgive me not saying more than…
Frankly, I’m not wearing a hat, but that hardly matters. I’m going to start with the biggest news first. We’ve signed another game! I’ll pause for cartwheels and applause. The game’s working title is Eden and it’s set in a fantasy world. Last week I was taking bets on what style of fantasy we can…
Hi everyone! The Marked For Death Kickstarter has begun! There are still some Early Bird versions left, so check it out here! Sanchit will be doing a Q&A on RPG.net Chat a short way into the campaign, so that will be your chance to ask any and all questions of the creator! – Ed
Last week I gave you some ideas of what to do when we’ve got a slow news day. Did anyone else try sock puppets? Word of caution, make sure you haven’t just gone to the gym before you stuff your hand in your sock. You’ve been warned. Today I’ve got more than fuzzy cotton blend…
Hi everyone! Only time for a brief update today, things are a little crazy! I’ve been working hard, as always. The Traveller’s Guide to Yarnolth and the Surrounding Lands is almost completed now, then it needs a touch of editing, a little layout work and it’ll be ready to come out to everyone who wanted…
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…
Every once in a while I find it’s a good idea to touch base with all our games. We’ve got so many of them in the works right now, it is sometimes hard to get a good feel for what we’re working on and we want you to tell us which game sounds the most…
Do you know the old saying, “A watched pot never boils”? Well right now I’m quite literally staring at the Marked for Death website and tapping my teeth in expectation. I can’t wait to announce the Kickstarter! But, we’ve got just a few more things to finish first. We’re getting closer day by day. A…
I spoke with Ed just a few short days ago and he informed me that his work on the new character sheet in Marked for Death is complete. There are also more images on the way for this rulebook and I’m excited to see what our artists have come up with. We’re one big step…
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…
Hi everyone! I’m really busy right now, just for a change. The primary things I’m working on are: The Empowered Primer, which is going really well! We’ve got some new art happening and the majority is written. I’m really looking forward to giving you guys the chance to play this game – more a campaign…
It’s almost here. We’re putting on some spit and polish, waiting for a few things to come through and once the game creator is freed up we will officially announce the Marked For Death Kickstarter! I spoke with Ed who gave me a complex run down of all the things that still need to happen…
Our time at MCM Comicon was fabulous. We got a chance to show off so many of our great games, including Amazing Space Adventures and Order of the Link. We also got a chance to meet with fledgling game designers who want to put their ideas down and make their dreams a reality. One of…
Hi everyone! The Consortium Hardback proof arrived a few minutes ago. This is the beginning of the end of the Era: The Consortium Kickstarter run, which is great! Here are some images for all you people who have waited so long! Every Hardcover rulebook will be numbered – there are 25 in the print run. So there…
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…
You might think that with everything we’ve got going on lately we wouldn’t be making much progress. I mean, there’s the Lyres Kickstarter we just wrapped and are working on extra content, the Consortium rulebooks to send out and the big MCM Comicon convention to get ready for! Well, even with all that going on…
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.

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…

Hi everyone! Well, we’re very busy, as usual… Era: Lyres is about to become available – I am actually just putting the finishing touches to the Kickstarter video. I’m working hard on the Order of the Link Kickstarter aftermath – we’ve already estimated the costs of sending all the rewards out and are beginning to…
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…
You might have heard that Shades of Vengeance has signed a contract with another game designer. I know that sounds crazy because we already have a million things happening right now but that’s just the way we like it. “Defend the Planet!” as it’s being affectionately called, is a science fiction game with fun features….
Hi everyone! As you probably gathered from Amy’s post yesterday, I’m rather busy right now! Era: The Consortium is the most busy thing for me right now, with the Digital Rulebook being finished off, and the program also going along reasonably well. Order of the Link comes a close second, now that it’s hit its first…
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…
