Era: Survival RPG Quickly Hits Kickstarter Goal

Mar 27, 2016

An interesting new RPG system is currently running on Kickstarter and it hit the initial funding goal within the first four days. In Era: Survival, from U.K. based Shades of Vengeance, players take on the roles of survivors one hundred years after an apocalyptic parasitic outbreak. You can receive digital copies of the rule books for a pledge starting at $24.00.

About the project:

“A hundred years ago, something happened that would change the fate of humanity forever. Some say it was a biological weapon, others claim a parasite evolved. Most don’t care. Whatever truths are hidden behind a century of distrust, fear, lies, war and death, everyone agrees about one thing: it is airborne and it’s attacking humans. Every day, our numbers dwindle.

There is no hope left to save our species, only a chance to survive until tomorrow.”

Era: Survival is the newest game from Shades of Vengeance, brought to you by the team that created Era: The Consortium and Era: Lyres. It uses the same Era d10 Rule Set, offering compatibility with our other tabletop RPGs.

Era: Survival isn’t your typical ‘survival roleplaying game’. Most of those RPGs revolve around zombies and are set right after the apocalypse, bringing terror to an overly-familiar world. In Era: Survival, many Infected might behave more or less like you would expect the walking dead to do, but they’re definitely not your classic staple of undead… and they’re not the only monstrous opponents you are likely to face, either.

Moreover, Era: Survival brings you 100 years of history to draw from, a richly-detailed setting brimming with the kind of strange cultures, religious sects, ancient secrets and powerful factions only found in places where time was allowed to make its mark on both the development – or lack thereof – of mankind and the human psyche.
