Hi everyone!
Era: The Consortium is 10 years old!
I really had no idea when I started that 10 years would produce 200 books, comics, audio dramas, miniatures, novels, art books and a movie! In fact, the full list for just Era: The Consortium is:
- 49 Tabletop RPG books, Expansions and Supplement books
- 2 novels
- 12 miniatures
- 11 comics and graphic novels
- 10+ hours of audio dramas and their script books
- 9 Prints and posters of artwork
- 6 Dice Trays, printed play mats, T-Shirts and other accessories
Quite impressive, and there’s more still to come – even this month!
We’re running an event on Discord
You can find loads of info, including what prizes you can win, on our free Schedule Booklet.
Copies of the rulebook, expansions and more are available, and there are even rewards just for getting involved with any of the competitions!
We’re incredibly proud that we’ve made it to 10 years, so we hope you’ll join us for this event!
Some details follow below about what’s going on:
1. Celerity Cerebral Consortium Challenge
A fun name which embraces my tendency to be slightly wordy – A quiz where you discover what you know about the Consortium, and win prizes for answers!
This challenge is a series of quizzes across the entire Anniversary month. You can participate by heading over to #consortium-celerity-challenge and putting down your answer in the form of an emoji.
You can even answer questions that happened before you joined the event! Everyone is welcome to join the quiz at any point during the celebrations.
The last day you can enter is 6th November 2024, when we will assess your points and dish out your rewards!
2. Raffle
Grab yourself a raffle ticket to win an Era: The Consortium 10th Anniversary Definitive Edition Rulebook! This is THE ultimate version of our Era: The Consortium rulebook, with everything we’ve learned from 10 years of running the game.
More tickets give you more chances to win. Entry is cheap but the prize is enormous.
The lucky winner will be announced on our server on 4 November 2024! Will it be you?
3. Character Competition
Submit your Era: The Consortium character concepts to #consortium-character-competition and be one of the three winners!
To see what information you need to give (not Stats!), and what the prizes will be, head over to #consortium-character-competition.
The competition closes on 4 November 2024 and the winners are announced on 6 November 2024.
4. Creator Game Night
Try Era: The Consortium with the creator of the game! He and a small number of GMs will do a demo session to help you get to know the game and the universe through his eyes.
This was held on 19 October 2024 at 19:00 BST, with great success!
More games are happening, which can be found in our #game-schedule channel!
5. London Comicon Adventures
Amidst all of the fun and exciting Anniversary events, we will be going to MCM Comicon London on 26 October 2024! You can meet us there to hear us talk about finishing your creative projects on the Creator Stage.
But by far the most exciting thing is in the Platinum Suite at 12:45, where we will work with you to create a Tabletop RPG in just one hour!
In May, we created Era: Sharkninja, which will be available for demonstration and purchase in that session. What will we create this time?
6. And perhaps most importantly… a 24 Hour Game!
The Consortium started through a 24-hour game almost 20 years ago.
We’re going to honour that through a series of online sessions over 24 hours between
2nd November at 16:00 GMT
and
3rd November at 16:00 GMT
The Consortium will be reshaped through a change to the Living Campaign! Your actions will decide the future of the civilisation…
You can join as many sessions as you like – in fact, several people have already signed up for all 8 sessions! – but you should definitely try to join us.
Participation in even one session gets you a copy of the Rulebook Primer, which is enough to play the game, create characters and have access to the rules, and is compatible with expansions and campaign books!
So, in short… we’re excited!
We hope you’ll join us for this once-in-a-decade event!
And, if you can’t make it, consider joining us on Patreon to help support the Consortium, other Era games and get loads of materials to run your games or explore the universes.
– Ed
