Hi everyone! Funded! We made it! In 3 days! I can hardly believe it! I hope we’re not done yet, though – we have more time and so much more potential. There are Stretch Goals up, and have been since the start of the project, because we want to give you all even more than…
Hi everyone! Nearly there now – 75% funded. Stay on target… Stay on target… Well, we don’t have any story quite like the assault on the Death Star in Era: The Consortium, but we certainly have some very impressive space battles. So I thought I’d release a new image in celebration of 75% funded! This…
Hi everyone! From 25% to 50% – we’re halfway there now! You’ve all supported us brilliantly, and we hope that you’ll continue to do so – much to the disappointment of my day job; my boss seems to be getting a little annoyed that I scramble to check my phone every 5 minutes when my…

Hi everyone! The Kickstarter goes live tomorrow, and we’re all very excited over here! Towards the end of the story of the Consortium, there are rumours of horrible weapons being developed, weapons which will kill a single species within the Consortium, but not significantly harm other species. Rumours abounded about what had happened to the…
Hi everyone! Just two days left to the Kickstarter. Today, it’s time I spoke about Shaun Hardcastle, one of the most interesting and most important characters in the history of the Consortium – without him, there would be no Resistance, no Elliot Draigon, and a lot less solidarity on Arawn. As his name implies, Shaun…
Hi everyone! Only 3 days until our Kickstarter launch! Today, I’m talking Aliens in Era: The Consortium. When I first started, I thought very carefully about what I wanted to offer the players. Did I want to force them to stick to Humans, but provide a society with all kinds of aliens (perhaps a little…
Hi everyone, Just 4 days to go to launch! Today, I’m going to talk about the ability that you guys will have to play at any point in the history of the Consortium – a factor we have used in the Patreon Campaign to provide you with time travel scenarios! Each item and spaceship has…
Hi everyone! So, for the first of our countdown days, I’m going to take you back to the very beginning of the Consortium. No-one really knows when the Kurmaja was launched from Earth, and no-one really knows whether the Kurmaja was the first of many or the last of any. What everyone does know is…

Hi everyone! I’ve made a lot of changes to the website, separating the Era: The Consortium content from the Shades of Vengeance stuff, to a new subdomain. I am still working on fixing up this new subdomain, so not everything is quite ready there yet, but I will keep working on it. In the meantime, I…
