    Day Twenty-One of Champion of Earth – Wounded versus Injured

    ByEd Jowett March 31, 2017March 21, 2017

    Hi everyone! Today, I’m going to talk about the “Wounded Alien Soldier”, which is significantly different to the “Injured” status that players experience. In fact, in this case, this was just an excuse to prove that: a) Yes, Aliens can use swords and still look cool. b) Yes, they really do bleed purple. And, of…

    Day Twenty of Champion of Earth – The Giant Eyeball

    ByEd Jowett March 30, 2017March 21, 2017

    Hi everyone! Today, I wanted to talk about the Giant Eyeball. I was asked a little while ago in a playtest exactly what it did to damage you (it’s a Level 1, and the individual in question felt I was being insanely generous!) We eventually, after a significant amount of discussion (the parties just don’t…

    Progress On The Survival Expansions – The Oracle

    ByEd Jowett March 30, 2017March 29, 2017

    Thank you to everyone who participated in our special one-week Kickstarter event for Era: Hitman. In only 7 days, over 150 fantastic people came together to help fund this game! After its successful Kickstarter run and development, Era: Hitman was delivered to all backers last week. Have fun playing this unique assassin-with-a-twist game and feel…

    Day Nineteen of Champion of Earth – Halfway

    ByEd Jowett March 29, 2017March 21, 2017

    Hi everyone! We’re now halfway through this Kickstarter. I’m really pleased with how well we’re doing: as a company which has never created a card game before, we weren’t sure what to expect from our Roleplaying Game fans. I’d like to thank everyone who has backed and helped us pass Stretch Goals for their interest! We…

    Day Eighteen of Champion of Earth – Combinations

    ByEd Jowett March 28, 2017March 21, 2017

    Hi everyone! By now, if you’ve been following along, you’ll know that many of the cards in Champion of Earth have some interesting special abilities. The power of them in this game, though, can be massively improved by  using them in combination. I’ve mentioned the Flamethrower briefly before, but not what it does. This card does 4…

    Day Seventeen of Champion of Earth – The Hand of the Illuminati

    ByEd Jowett March 27, 2017March 21, 2017

    Hi everyone! The Illuminati is a game-changing card. It can turn an easy-to-defeat Oncoming Horde into your worst nightmare, or just as easily make some of the biggest problems in the game simply return harmlessly to The Cave. The Illuminati is an Alien card which, when you turn it over, shuffles every Monster in the…

    Day Sixteen of Champion of Earth Kickstarter – The power of OR

    ByEd Jowett March 26, 2017March 21, 2017

    Hi everyone! “OR” is a word you will find on several Equipment Cards, such as the Segway. The Segway is a Level 3 piece of Equipment, but it also has a special ability. While some cards are able to use their special ability as well as attack, any card that says “OR” is not able…

    Day Fifteen of Champion of Earth Kickstarter – The Other Kind

    ByEd Jowett March 25, 2017March 21, 2017

    Hi everyone! I promised you yesterday that I’d talk more about “The Other Kind of Man In Black”. Well, here he is in all his glory! This is the reverse of the Man In Black. When he’s turned over, he takes all of your Equipment Cards. The deck is shuffled and the player responsible for…

    The Consortium expansions are getting down to the last several steps before arriving at your doorstep. I can tell you that the Definitive Edition Rulebook is now with the proofreaders. Thanks to some last minute work we’ve been able to add a few more stories than was expected to part 1. I think you’re all…

    Day Fourteen of Champion of Earth Kickstarter – Here Comes the Man in Black!

    ByEd Jowett March 24, 2017March 21, 2017

    Hi everyone! This is the Man in Black, one of the most useful cards in the game when you are in a tight spot: It’s only a Level 3 piece of Equipment, but it has a very useful special ability. It allows you to discard this card and trade every other Equipment Card in your…

    Day Thirteen of Champion of Earth – Scouts!

    ByEd Jowett March 23, 2017March 21, 2017

    Hi everyone! Today, I’m talking about Equipment which has the ability to “Scout”. It’s a specific trait that some equipment has, including the highly awesome “Hobby Drone with Assault Rifle”! Well, if you have all that duct tape, you have to use it somehow, right? The “Scout” ability on any card allows you to expend…

    Day Twelve of Champion of Earth Kickstarter – Mind Control

    ByEd Jowett March 22, 2017March 21, 2017

    Hi everyone! Today, I’m talking about the Mind Control Collar. This card makes the first monster alive in the Oncoming Horde into your willing servant. It’ll attack the next monster, and whichever one loses dies! Don’t worry, if they are equal in power, your new pet wins! Unfortunately, during the fight, the Mind Control Collar is…

    Day Eleven of Champion of Earth – Self-Referencing

    ByEd Jowett March 21, 2017March 14, 2017

    Hi everyone! For anyone who doesn’t already know we have created several tabletop roleplaying games… uh… we did! I’m talking today about a particular card which is a big self-reference for us. This is the Martian Pants card. It’s a reference to the Era: The Empowered, and one of the most powerful heroes in that…

    Day Ten of Champion of Earth – It’s Dead Already!

    ByEd Jowett March 20, 2017March 14, 2017

    Hi everyone! Today, I’m talking about another of the mechanics that is a little more focused on the versus aspect of the game, specifically “Just Making Sure!”. This card is capable of making the difference between a winner and a loser! Like the Alarm, which I spoke about yesterday, it is an Interrupt card, meaning it can…

    Day Nine of Champion of Earth – Alarming!

    ByEd Jowett March 19, 2017March 14, 2017

    Hi everyone! The alarm and the creatures that act like it in the game can be intensely strategic tools against your fellow players. What they do is very simple: every monster of the same type will attack the players instantly. If you’ve played with the Quickstart Pack provided by the Kickstarter, you’re probably already familiar with…

    Day Eight of Champion of Earth – Return to Sender

    ByEd Jowett March 18, 2017March 14, 2017

    Hi everyone! Today, I’m going to comment briefly about what happens when you can’t defeat the Oncoming Horde. It’s going to happen at some point, if you play enough: Monsters all around you and no way to win against what you have to fight! In these cases, there are weapons that can help you, which…

    Day Seven of Champion of Earth – Shields Up!

    ByEd Jowett March 17, 2017March 14, 2017

    Hi everyone! Some of you already know that I am a keen computer gamer, who played World of Warcraft for many years and play quite a few other games even now. From that, I learned a lot about what enemies might do to defend themselves. Creatures in Champion of Earth use brute strength, Aliens use…

    Day Six of Champion of Earth – Vampirism

    ByEd Jowett March 16, 2017March 14, 2017

    Hi everyone! I mentioned yesterday about the fact that Undead have some really unique abilities on their cards, so I thought I’d go through a couple of the more interesting ones for you! Vampires are well known for sucking blood, of course, and gaining power from doing so. As I observed previously, Undead tend to be…

    Day Five of Champion of Earth – Swarming

    ByEd Jowett March 15, 2017March 15, 2017

    Hi everyone! Today I’m going to talk about “Swarming” monsters in Champion of Earth. There are a few pieces of Equipment in this game that require you to know whether the monster you are attacking is a Creature, Undead or Alien. When I was constructing the rules, I considered the possibility that every card had to…

    Hi everyone! Today, I get to talk about one of my favourite subjects in game design – Artwork. As a side note, the Kickstarter is still ongoing and you can get hold of Champion of Earth right here. Sophia Michailidou has worked with me on nearly every project I’ve ever done in game design, which…

    Day Three of Champion of Earth – Undead

    ByEd Jowett March 13, 2017March 11, 2017

    Hi everyone! I thought, today, it might be interesting to talk about where the inspiration for Champion of Earth came from. As I mentioned in the Kickstarter video, it primarily came from the old Sci-Fi movie “Plan 9 from Outer Space” (1959). In this movie, aliens enact “Plan 9”, which is to raise undead and…

Some of you might not be familiar with this creature, which is what you might call a “Filipino vampire”. I wanted to mention it because it’s a great example of how I wanted to reach slightly outside…
