I’m sure the question you’re all thinking right now, besides how is Jon Snow going to come back to life, is “What’s next for Survival”? I have lots of little answers for you. The core rulebook is finished! Ed just sent it to the UK printers last week and he’s currently reformatting it for the…
Two of our biggest conventions of the year are coming up quick, fast and in a hurry. In preparation for these big events Ed will be getting everyone together for some training this coming Sunday. It might not seem like it but there’s actually quite a bit that needs to go into these kinds of…
Someone who’s been a friend of mine for a few years came to me the other day and told me that he was writing an article about the internet and its effect on gaming companies. He asked me to write him a few sentences about what Kickstarter means to Shades of Vengeance in particular. Me…
There’s something inherently scary about science fiction, wouldn’t you agree? All that cold, endless space with nothing to protect you from death save for a bit of mechanical ingenuity. It’s the perfect setting for a horror game and I’m not the only one who thinks so. Quite a few of you have been asking for…
Happy Monday and welcome to the first day of Era: Silence news! This will be your one stop location for everything Silence related. I’ll be here to give you updates on the process, new images to check out as well as let you know a bit more about the game itself and what you can…
Did you know that GMs have almost as much fun as you do when playing Era games? During their last convention prep meeting, Ed and the team heading to our upcoming MCM and UKGE events had a blast. From what I heard, good times were had by all as some players used teammates for human…
I know I’ve mentioned to you before that Ed is in the process of building out the Consortium universe to a degree even I hadn’t imagined. For those new fans who might not understand why, I’ll tell you. Era: The Consortium is our flagship game. It was our first fully developed RPG and Ed’s passion…
Last week I gave you a quick synopsis of Era: Silence; warriors who have to earn their names by completing challenges. With this game we’re going to be heading over the edge of the world and coming up with a new way to play RPGs again. Just like the new experience we created with Era:…
Hi everyone! It’s Friday the 13th, and I thought I’d share one of my nightmares with you today – balancing card games! Most of you don’t know yet that I’m working on a card game. Well, with a little help from another game designer, I am. I’m not quite ready to give out details, but we’ve…
Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start writing!
Hi everyone, The answer is just to get on with it! On that note, I’ve got to get back to work on Era: Survival, which I aim to have ready sooner than you think! Yeah, tight deadlines… one day, I’ll learn not to do that! – Ed P.S. Apologies for not having much of substance,…

Last week I mentioned that during Dragonmeet Ed was inspired to create a new game. At that time I was told just that the game revolved around the power of words. That was super mysterious and had me wondering just what it would look like. This week, Ed has taken pity on us and is…

Things are wrapping up in the world of The Secret War expansion. We’ve got the cover image finished and the content is entirely sorted. We’re simply waiting on the last few pieces of artwork before we can call this project good and done. Are you ready to choose which side of this war you’re going…
I’ve been collecting skills for quite a few years now. I can drive a motorcycle, navigate a sailboat, identify edible fungus and fire a rifle with reasonable accuracy. All this work has been for one very important reason: Survive the zombie apocalypse. I’m not the only one preparing. Ed is right now working with his…

One of our favourite things about this whole game designing business is getting a chance to sit down and run a game with folks who love to play. It warms our toes and makes all those long cold hours sitting in front of the computer worth it. Let’s be honest, there’s a reason why we…
Hi everyone! Some of you who follow Dice and Stuff will already be aware that they do a series on “Behind the Dice“, talking with Game Creators and so on. Well, as I mentioned last week, they spoke with me, and the legendary interview is now up! I think I say some interesting things. Do…

Hi everyone! (I did the “and welcome to Dice and Stuff” joke last week, so I’ll leave it this week!) Dice and Stuff have released the second episode of their 2015 season, and thanked me personally, so definitely go listen to that bit! This week’s episode features some nude combat (no, really), Eulutians flapping around…

Hi everyone! I’ve just released Session 10 of our Patreon Time Travel campaign. I don’t want to say too much, because there could be some major spoilers for this one… but if you’re not interested in Patreon, you can also pick up the bundle of Sessions 6-10 on our store now! – Ed
