Today I want to talk about an expansion item that we had offered during the last Consortium Kickstarter but didn’t quite unlock. If you’ve been following us through the years you’ll know that we hate to keep anything from you guys so if an item is posted under Stretch Goals and we don’t achieve it,…
Everyone loves Era: Survival. Now, that’s not just my opinion, that’s a fact. Survival has found its way into the hearts of fans and clung on with three-inch claws. This is why I’m excited to announce that Ed will be offering preview demos of Era: Survival – Colony at the upcoming MCM Comicon in London!…

Hi everyone! There’s a review update on A New Dawn, done by Talking About Games, which was just released. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZyyXexaArY Previously, he’d seen v0.4, and he’s now commenting on the differences between that version and the final v1.0.1, which you can get from our store or Kickstarters! I’d strongly recommend it if you’re unsure about…
Raise your hand if you love getting loot! One of the things I always enjoyed about playing RPGs was getting to build a character from the ground up and advance to higher levels where I could employ an increasingly impressive array of skills as well as tools. Now that might not trip everyone’s fancy but…
It may sound like I’m saying this all the time, but that’s only because it’s true. We are currently working on more games than we ever have before. This is great news for all you game lovers out there. Over the next couple of weeks, Ed is going to be giving us glimpses of what’s…

Hi everyone! Talking About Games has updated their review of The Fifth Race (previously, he had seen only a preliminary v0.7), and has put it up on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLtGLPeR1mI He’s very thorough, going into the details of the book and why it’s a valuable expansion, so I’d strongly recommend it if you were on the fence…

It’s time once again to get an inside look at what’s coming at you for our next Consortium Expansion series. This time I’m talking about a place where the atmosphere is as lethal as the company. The prison planet of Sirona isn’t the first stop on anyone’s tour bus but it’s where we’re going to…

I love sci-fi games for two reasons: one, the technical gear is fascinating, and two, the creatures are literally out-of-this-world. You could find yourself feeding candy snacks to something that looks like E.T. one day and the next you’re running through the jungle from a Predator that thinks your head will look marvelous on its…

Instead, you tell stories of the exploits you “totally had” in order to hoodwink the people of Yarnolth into giving you…
