Hi everyone! Onto the third day, and we have: What gives a game staying power? I think that staying power stems from adaptability within a game. Eventually, all groups tire of playing exactly the same thing every time. I think if you want a game to stay, you need to have the adaptability that you see…
Hi everyone! Today, I’m sharing some information about the Nakamura Clan. Although they only join the Chosen in Harbour City in the second era of the war, they have been fighting the Anonassi for generations.

Hi everyone! I’m back for more: What do you look for in an RPG? I’m sure it will come as a huge surprise that I look for an expansive, detailed world with plenty of room to play whatever type of game I want. Okay, well, maybe not…! I love the ability to create details within a…
Hi everyone! As a Lyre, one of the “big damn heroes” of the kingdom of Yarnolth, you’ve definitely travelled all over the Kingdom of Yarnolth, right? Right?

Hi everyone! I’ve asked the Beta readers to finish by now, and am receiving feedback. Honestly, there’s nothing big, or any issues that require large changes, so I’m very encouraged! Era: The Empowered has gone really well on the writing side and I think the text is print-ready at this stage. The images still need…
Hi everyone! One more type of Anonassi today (there are so many!), again illustrated by the talented Mikhail Greuli. These are the Udzeni, “sky-demons”. They float, unnoticed, against the grey skies of the Lost Lands, waiting and silent… waiting for their chance to swoop down on the Chosen and consume them. They live to eat…

Hi everyone! For a long time after the first ten years of the Anonassi War, the Humans held their areas of the Lost Lands, fighting back the Anonassi to a standstill but making little progress.
