Thanks to everyone for helping the Champion of Earth; Robots and Cyborgs Expansion Kickstarter event reach over 100% funding! There’s still time to help push this project into a Stretch Goal so stop on by and encourage anyone you think would enjoy this fun fast-paced card game to come check us out as well.

I’ve told you quite a bit about this game in the last few weeks but I can still hear you hemming and hawing. How do I play and is it really any fun? Well if you find yourself not quite certain if this game is for you then I challenge you to check out the Livestream that Ed put together. He uses the original core deck as well as the expansion cards to give you a real-time experience of what a session might be like. It’s definitely worth having a look!

Did you know that this year marks the 40th anniversary of the Voyager Golden Records? Like a bottle thrown out to sea, the records are a message that have been sent out into space. To commemorate this achievement Kickstarter has established their Project of Earth initiative in order to encourage contemporary artists to participate in a “showcase of human imagination”.
Shades of Vengeance will be joining this fantastic effort by creating Era: Balam. In this game we find out what might happen when a probe lands on an alien planet with disastrous results! Ed is releasing a few images to get you excited for this project and I hope you’ll check back here to see more. This game will be released quite soon!
That’s it for me, see you on Saturday for Consortium news!
