Hi everyone! Things have been pretty crazy here for a while now. I’ve got no real plans to change anything, although certain individuals are trying to persuade me to take a day off at some point. I’m thinking end of 2016, maybe…? So, what’s going on right now? With Era: The Empowered’s Primer completed, off…
Did you come see us at DragonDaze? The mini comic con event was a great success and the team had a wonderful time playing games and chatting with everyone who stopped by. We even got some fabulous feedback from those that joined our sessions. Getting the chance to meet fans, inspire others to create new…
The very first print run of this game has gone out to the printers! We’ve only ordered a small number of copies but this is still an exciting moment. Once we get the books on hand we will be taking them with us to MCM Comicon. You’ll definitely want to stop by our table at…
Hi everyone! In this week’s episode of Dice and Stuff, the team have decided to use Maria as bait to find out what’s going on with her. Will this work out well? Listen here to find out! – Ed
Grab your shotgun and come with me if you want to live! This is Base 9. Inside these sturdy, patchwork doors you’ll be safe from the constant onslaught of attack from Infected and Raiders. Though the automatic guns no longer fire, this safe hold has never been breached. Our success is due, in part to…
You’ve heard me go on again and again about how much fun it is to make RPGs. It’s a creative dream come true to build your very own world; complete with harrowing plot details and characters that make you laugh, cry or scream in frustration. Well, you don’t have to just take my word for…
After only a small change in direction, I’m pleased to say that the cover art for The Secret War is finalized and ready to go! This life and death struggle is just a tiny taste of the adventure that Ed’s got brewing in this game. There’s more intrigue, more conflict and we’ve got loads more…
Hi everyone! I am currently working on the website! You have probably noticed that we’re “Back in Black” as you might say… We’re doing a major overhaul in preparation for our upcoming Kickstarter and MCM. I’m hoping that we can get everything looking great! I’ve also got 3 book orders coming in over the next few…

This past weekend I had the opportunity to join Ed for a session of Era: The Empowered. Between you and me, it’s been way too long since I sat down for a game. I was expecting to have fun but I wasn’t expecting to pick up the rules and mechanics so quickly! I’ve never played…
Hi everyone, I could give you a massive long intro to the latest Dice and Stuff episode… or, I could just say: Lanceer! – Ed
You heard right. The checkered flag has waved and this is our final lap. All the digital rewards have now been delivered, including “Professor Rupert Wilton-Smythe’s Traveller’s Guide to Yarnolth” Add-on. The UK edition rulebooks are on their way to Ed’s house for repacking and the US edition proof will be sent out shortly. This…
Contributing to an indie game is about helping the RPG community, it’s about increasing the number of great stories we all get to play and giving a hand to someone who’s got a vision. That’s why we keep making games with our partner creators. We love making dreams come true and we love adding to…
A few days ago I announced that Ed has been hard at work finding shops to carry the Era titles. One thing I didn’t tell you was how much they love Era: The Consortium. Every shop we approach has been blown away by the story, the depth of history, artwork, and unique rule system. It’s…
Hi everyone! I am keeping pretty busy right now, primarily focusing on Era: The Empowered’s upcoming print run and Kickstarter, world-building for Era: Survivial and on getting Era: The Consortium and Era: Lyres into shops. Era: The Empowered’s Primer is looking great, it’s gone off for a final proofreading pass to make sure everything is…
It started with Wayland games in Essex, moved on to Orcs Nest in London and now I am thrilled to let you know that Ed has made agreements with at least four more shops! We want everyone and their Great Aunt Suzie to be able to get these games so Ed is working like a…
After days of hard work, long hours, take out food, and sore fingers… all the artwork is now complete! Congratulations to the art team for reaching a huge milestone in the creation of this game. Rules, history, and stories are the backbone of any game but the art really gives it a soul. Now that…
Hi everyone! The newest episode of Dice and Stuff is out now! Find out the results of Zani’s previous paranoia… and what star sign TJ is! Don’t ask, just listen! – Ed
It’s official, the Lyres rulebooks are being printed and will be shipped just as soon as they’re ready. I don’t recommend camping out beside your post box just yet but it won’t be long. Thank you to all of our fans and backers. Without your support the Lyres universe would be a lonely place. Most…
Things are moving along very fast in the world of Marked for Death. Now that the Kickstarter has ended we’re getting ready to print and ship out copies to our backers just as soon as the funds are released. We’re excited to be bringing you another game designed by one of our independent creators. If…
Last week I showed you a first draft of the homeworld for our new alien species. Apart from being a bit rocky and quite a bit drafty it’s rather a lot like my first apartment. Now that you’ve seen where they come from I can’t wait for you to meet our newest characters. This second…
Hi everyone! With Marked For Death waiting for funds to come in from Kickstarter and Lyres just waiting on print runs to be delivered, I have had a little more time to work on my two newest games, Era: The Empowered and Era: Survival. The Era: The Empowered Primer is just undergoing layout. Keith and…
Game maker, that is. In just two short weeks you’ll have a chance to meet and play with the creator of our Era games! Ed will be attending the one day gaming event at Dragondaze in South Wales on September 19th. Do you have your tickets yet? He will bring copies of Era: The…
As I’m sure you’re aware; creating Role Playing Games is hard work. It takes weeks and months of planning and production to make a fabulous end product. We love seeing an RPG go from idea to playable content but the process isn’t all fireworks and champagne. Most of our time is spent in day to…
Hi everyone! In the latest episode of Dice and Stuff, you can find out what Zani was doing while the rest of Claymore Unit were getting drunk and fighting. Were you wondering? Check it out! Did you forget Zani even existed? Shame on you – check it out! – Ed
Rulebooks are on the move! Ed has received the UK printed proof for both the hardcover and softcover editions. Aside from a small omission on the hardcover prints it all looked smashing. So, once the printer fixes that hiccup they’ll be sent to Ed who will then ship them out for all the backers who…

We truly have the best fans in the business, you guys are amazing! So, you’re likely wondering what’s happening right now on the road to completion. The…
There’s more to the Consortium universe than we’ve been letting on. In our second expansion game we pull back the curtain to reveal a new world and a new species. Are they peaceful, are they violent? Could they tip the currently precarious balance of power and send everyone spinning into chaos? You’ll just have to…
Hi everyone! It’s been a really busy week over here. The Marked For Death Kickstarter reached a successful conclusion, just short of the $1000 stretch goal. Never mind, Sanchit and I are finishing up the edits on the book and we expect to deliver ahead of schedule! Sanchit is also talking about what more he…
