Hi everyone! I am doing a livestream today to celebrate the upcoming release of Era: Marscape at the start of January. The game is very Doom-inspired, so naturally the best strategy to grab your attention is to go straight into the demon-infested deep end! 5 years ago, Leo and I streamed Doom (2016) together and…
Hi everyone! Today I want to talk about fulfilment, which I seldom talk about… and nor do many of the industry contacts I speak with. Whenever I do speak with someone in my position, they tend to recommend handing it off to one company or another – “More hassle than it’s worth”. I tried that…
Hi everyone! Today I’m going to talk to you about printing. I think this is something a lot of people don’t understand very well, especially when it comes to the difficulties of producing a very large book. Anything over about 300 pages – which is quite common in tabletop roleplaying games – presents certain challenges….
Hi everyone! Today, I thought I’d talk about Era: Marscape, which is a game I came up with some time ago. It was prompted by a conversation with another enthusiastic creator. He’s used to home brewing, he had some suggestions and he wanted to use Era d10 to do it. So he very politely (and…
Hi everyone! I think if you’re going to have a position on AI, you need to have tried it, used it and understood what the limitations are. I am broadly against AI in creativity. I’ve had all the horror stories you can imagine: writing submitted by people claiming it was theirs, artwork… I wanted to…
Hi everyone! Era: The Consortium is 10 years old! I really had no idea when I started that 10 years would produce 200 books, comics, audio dramas, miniatures, novels, art books and a movie! In fact, the full list for just Era: The Consortium is: Quite impressive, and there’s more still to come – even…
Hi everyone! I believe that everyone can be Creative! A lot of people ask me how I do it, and I like to help them wherever I can, because I always love to learn what others have come up with! Not just how I find the time, but how I build universes, ensure that they…
Hi everyone! Today, we’re doing the third and final post about what’s coming this year, exploring what’s coming from Shades of Vengeance in terms of RPGs, Card Games, Novels and more! What games have we already had? We’ve had a pretty busy year! Delivering the artwork for the Era: Forbidden project has continued to be…
We’re pleased to announce that Era Games were the second-most played RPG at #UKGE 2022, the largest gaming convention in the UK! We’ve always created because we love doing it, so telling stories with players like YOU is our favourite thing. We’d like to invite you to join us for FREE to try out our…

He started out playing Warhammer and D&D but…
Hi everyone! I’m back with another update on the general state of Shades of Vengeance! As I said in the last post, I’m hoping to do these every week from now on. A lot has happened in the last week (it’s amazing how often I say that sort of thing!). Era: Lost Legend has now…
