The Universe
A hundred years ago, a parasite evolved naturally.
Or maybe a biological weapon was set off?
Honestly, no-one remembers any more.
What’s important is that it was airborne, infectious, and mutated every warm-blooded creature it encountered. The parasites were capable of raising the dead and transforming the living into unrecognisable, superhuman monsters.
Although the development of a cure for the first stages of Infection did occur eventually, it was already too late. Civilisation fell quickly, and what was left of Humanity shattered into many disparate factions, each with their own ideas on how to survive.
Over time, some of these factions died out, while others grew to take their place. Some fled to areas of the world where the Parasites were not so dangerous, such as on the ocean or in the frozen north. Others fought to survive and protect others. Still others decided Humanity was doomed and must be destroyed to avoid infection, or sought to harness the powers the Parasites offered for themselves.
Most modern features of Gaia are known and mapped, but Salvagers still exist, searching the ruins of fallen cities for the supplies needed by towns… and some are even lucky enough to find ancient “Vaults” from before the Cataclysm containing treasure troves of supplies.
With the Infected overrunning more towns every day, it’s becoming increasingly dangerous out there…

Era: Survival Primer (Kickstarter Taster)
$0.00Page Count: 50
Can you survive the cruel world of Gaia?
Era: Survival is a survival-horror Tabletop RPG set in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. Fight with (or against) any of the thirteen factions that are struggling over the remains of the world, each with their own philosophy on how to survive; or form your own group of survivors and take on the arduous world of Gaia. With limited ammo and nothing but rusty, makeshift weapons that might break at any moment, every encounter with the infected or other survivors is a life-or-death situation. One mistake could mean the end of a life. Your survival is everything but guaranteed, choose your actions wisely.
This book is a rules primer. Distinct from the Era: Survival Core Rulebook or Definitive Edition, this is a quick rundown of everything you need to know as a player, and a great fast and handy reference point mid-game. It contains the full rules, briefings on settings and a complete guide to character creation in the Era: Survival.
Era: Survival runs on the critically acclaimed Era D10 ruleset, a versatile “dice pool” based system with rules adapted to the cruel world of Gaia. The game’s Karma system rewards good or evil karma based on your actions’ outcomes. Your karma affects how you interact with NPCs, the type of loot you find, and many other aspects of your survival. This results in all your decisions feeling more tense and consequential, even the smallest mistakes can spell life or death. The ruleset otherwise is easy to get into and keeps the story in the spotlight while ensuring the combat and other mechanics are smooth and engaging.
This Survival Rulebook Primer, however, does not contain any of the GM information or the entire story which is found in the Core Rulebook or Definitive Edition – it is intended to be everything a player needs to enjoy the game in terms of gameplay and mechanics.
In this rulebook you will find:
- The Core Era D10 rule set, a versatile “dice pool” based TTRPG game system which powers play
- A guide to character creation, with a range of backgrounds, and options for the Karma system
- A list of weapons, armour, and other equipment to prepare yourself for the apocalypse. Weapons come in tiers to reflect their deadliness and durability. When every turn counts, finding the right weapon is of the utmost importance
- Karma Tables, to be used instead of the separate deck of cards if you wish
