Shades of Vengeance launched their latest roleplaying game in the Era system line and this new game tackles superheroes. Era: The Empowered is 300 pages of game info to provide players and GMs with plenty of options in crafting nearly any sort of supers campaign. You can score the core book in PDF at the $15 pledge level and the physical soft cover book for a $42 pledge. The project will run through March 18th with an expected delivery for this November.
From Shades of Vengeance:
At Shades of Vengeance, we believe that a huge universe full of possibilities is something that tabletop role-playing games can offer in a way that other games can’t.
Our goal is simple – we want the players to focus on playing the game, while still having the chance of failure, instead of worrying about following overly complex rules. Reaching that balance is the focus of our game design efforts!
With the experience we have gained from the critically-acclaimed Era: The Consortium and Era: Survival, the Shades of Vengeance team have formed a superhero universe which offers every gameplay type for that genre. Working with a 15-year veteran of the comics industry, we’ve constructed a world which will let you play any type of story you can imagine!
The 300-page Era: The Empowered Core Rulebook is built with the player in mind, using the Era d10 Rule Set. Even with the vast amount of possible character builds, Empowered abilities (superpowers), choices and outcomes, Era: The Empowered is a easy and simple game to play.
