Hi everyone!
Today, I thought I’d talk about Era: Marscape, which is a game I came up with some time ago.
It was prompted by a conversation with another enthusiastic creator. He’s used to home brewing, he had some suggestions and he wanted to use Era d10 to do it. So he very politely (and unnecessarily*) came to me and asked if I was okay with it.
* Of course I’m okay with anyone home brewing anything that they would like to with Era d10; as long as they’re not selling it, trying to make money off my ideas, then it’s no problem by me. Games are made to be played, and I encourage that.
So he had a number of really interesting ideas around initiative for this specific game, which is inspired by doom. And I’ve got to be honest, this happened during COVID, and I have not really made significant progress on it since.
However, I have recently laid out the book and begun writing it in earnest.
It’s going to be a pocket edition when it’s complete, so not enormous, but it’s been a lot of fun to write out so far. Some time ago, I commissioned artwork from the amazing Volodymyr, who worked with me on Era: Soulmist, as well as a few other bits and pieces such as the cover image for the Company Handbook Expansion for Era: The Consortium.
I’m looking forward to bringing this new game to you all for your enjoyment.
I’ve got another game that’s waiting to be released, also, which is called Era: Crueltide – that one’s really intended for sometime between Halloween and Christmas. So we’ve got a lot going on right now!
I’d be remiss to not finally mention Era: Survival, which is currently on Kickstarter. We are significantly beyond funded, so go ahead and check it out at this link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/shadesofvengeance/era-survival-8th-anniversary?ref=75sray
Thank you for reading, and I hope you have a lovely weekend!
