Hi everyone! One of the earliest types of Anonassi to appear and one of the most terrifying to this day, Brutes may not be intelligent but they are incredibly strong and tough. Operating more on highly-evolved instinct once in combat, some speculate they enter a blood rage when engaged. Either way, their activities are a…

Our feature image today says it all. The Consortium miniatures project is getting some color! The extremely talented Simon Parr is taking the prototypes and turning them into works of art. The armor details and skin shading are impressive and I can’t wait to see how they all come together! Keep checking back here to…
Hi everyone! In the First Era of the Anonassi War, the Humans were outmatched physically, so they had to rely on wits, brains and cunning! This is the time in the game where you can have “swashbuckling” type adventures, as well as face an enemy which exceeds your abilities in every way! – Ed ———————————————————————————————————————— Ira…
Our latest game to hit Kickstarter, Evil Overlord, is getting a great deal of support and we still have over two weeks left until the end! Thank you to everyone who’s checked out this fun and unique deck-building card game. We know you’re going to love it. In honor of all this amazing fan support,…
Hi everyone! In what’s now referred to as the sixth year of the Anonassi War (AW6), the Rostov Clan suggested that the group pool their resources to fight the Anonassi. Here’s a free horror short story set in the world of Era: The Chosen about the three Clans… – Ed ———————————————————————————————————————– They entered the Lost Lands…
Now that our back-to-back run of convention appearances is over we’re full speed ahead on the creation of our two favorite things, games and comics. Those of you who stopped by at either MCM or UKGE these past two weeks will certainly have noticed that the amount of comics we have on offer is getting…
We’re working our way through the Stiletto Unit Miniature collection! Next up is the athletic Kutsutas. This energetic Stiletto teammate started out as an extreme sports athlete in her youth, garnering fame and recognition with her impressive physical skills. However, once she learned that Smertios Security was responsible for the death of her parents she…
Hi everyone! Another type of Anonassi frequently encountered in the early years of the Anonassi War is the Hellhound. Fast, stealthy and brutal, these creatures bear a passing resemblance to the hounds of mythology and, once again, the early name seemed descriptive enough to stick. Imagine running into one of these in the dark lands…
We had an amazing time at MCM Comicon over the weekend. It was great to see so many new fans as well as those who are already familiar with what we do. Thank you to everyone who stopped by and played a session with us, picked up a game, or just came over to chat….
Today’s featured image showcases Zeelaay, the Stiletto unit pilot and heavy weapons expert. This grim-faced warrior was the first to garner Steve Adam’s respect for his discipline and skill. What Zeelaay lacks in small talk, he more than makes up for in combat knowledge and sheer determination. He prefers to let his rocket launcher do…
Hi everyone! Today, I’m talking about the Rostov Clan. The third clan to join the group, the Rostovs are devoted to controlling information. They ensure that no-one finds out about the Chosen or the Anonassi War that is happening. For generations, they have dominated Harbour City and the battlefield within the Lost Lands with their tactical…

Hi everyone! An update today on the progress we’re making! As you know, the Era: The Empowered Player’s Guide is now complete. Proofreading of the entire story section (almost 200 pages of the Core Rulebook) is also complete, and the changes have been implemented in the files. I’m about to embark on two weeks of…
Today’s featured miniature is Stiletto Unit sniper, Alex Gyter. This hot-headed member of the team is pictured with his two favorite pastimes; a deadly long-range rifle and a bottle of liquor. Gyter may enjoy a few too many drinks now and again but when it comes to defending Stiletto Unit he always comes through. Gyter…
Hi everyone! I have a brand new free short story from the world of our horror game Era: The Chosen today. We’ve had the pleasure of working with some amazing writers on this project, such as Jennifer Martin and Darren Pearce! This story is set in the first Era of the Chosen, when the Anonassi…
The time has come for all Evil Overlords to join in our newest adventure… pardon me while I break out my evil laugh, “Mwahaha!” Evil Overlords is our latest card game and this one is all about trying to create the biggest baddest evil minion army of them all. In order to do that you’ll…
As I’m sure you can tell by today’s feature image, I’m going to talk with you a little about our Consortium Miniatures project! Ed has loads of wonderful things planned for what’s coming next in the Consortium universe and one of the things we’re most excited to show you are these figures. So far, I’ve…
Hi everyone! Today, I’m talking about one of the kinds of Anonassi. The humanoid “Fallen” had the appearance of fallen angels in the opinion of the first Chosen, and the name stuck. The Fallen are remarkable for their telepathic powers, which make them the only Anonassi who have communicated with Humans. Alongside their terrifying appearance,…
Hi everyone! Progress is continuing nicely on Era: The Empowered. Tales of the Empowered physical books have now been sent out to all backers of the Tales of the Empowered Kickstarter, and are ready for the backers who requested it from the Era: The Empowered Core Rulebook Kickstarter! The Player’s Guide has now gone out…
In case you haven’t checked your mailbox lately, you should know that the Empowered Player’s Guide was released and delivered to backers this week! This is a fantastic book with loads of great additions and has absolutely everything you will need to play the game. So, just what’s inside? Ed and the team have written…
The Home Base Expansion book has been one of our more ambitious books in this latest series and I’m pleased to announce that it has officially been declared finished! The Home Base book is filled with numerous pieces of artwork and playable details that you’re going to enjoy. Ed and the team have worked hard…
Hi everyone! Today, I’m talking about the D’Aoust Clan who, I think it’s fair to say, are not generally viewed in a positive light by the other Clans… “They are dwarfed by what they have found, small men made big by picking the bones of what came before.” The D’aousts are primarily dedicated to the…
Well folks, we’re gathering ourselves together for another amazing MCM experience. In just over three short weeks time we’ll be answering questions, meeting fans, and running sessions of our most popular games. We will be inside N4 with all our Era games and N1 with our collection of comics for the entire 3 day event….
As I promised you on Thursday, today I’m going to go over some of the ideas that Ed has for the Consortium’s next few books. We’d like your input into where we should head next so take down notes and feel free to give us a shout with your favorites! First up is the Company…
Hi everyone! The Lost Lands: what are they, how did they come to be? The answer to the second question, no-one really knows*. Theories abound, but they are all baseless. This area is some kind of “bridge dimension” between the mutually destructive dimensions of Aether and Erebus. Our universe is young, expanding and full of…
Last week I gave you all a brief rundown of what we’ve done so far with our Empowered comics. Today I have a chance to do the same for our Era: The Consortium comics series. The Consortium was the first title in the Era line of games and it’s only right that it was also…
Hi everyone… I’m really sorry to have to announce this, but several risks I have been monitoring for a while have unfortunately come to fruition and we won’t be able to deliver the Core Rulebooks before the end of May. I could try to rush this, but it would mean cutting out a LOT of…
It’s time to mark down another successfully completed Expansion book! The team has worked hard and finished Time Travel Part 4 which has now been sent out to all backers. The printers are currently working on producing the physical copies. That’s one more Consortium Expansion down! Home Base is still being developed but we’re getting…
Hi everyone! I’ll get back to another of the clans soon, but by now, you’re probably wanting a little more information on what the Anonassi are. They are the denizens of the dark dimension known as “Erebus”. Upon discovering the Lost Lands and the humans who live within it, they conquered it and began to…
