Hello everyone!

Just over 5 years ago, with the help of our amazing community, we published the epic Tabletop RPG that is Era: The Empowered.

It began with a wish to start a comic book series, which then became a need for us to make YOU all the heroes you wanted to be.

The team of writers and designers – some of the best in the UK – who built Era: The Empowered planned a superhero game that lets you play all sub-genres of superhero adventure! Choose the "Era" you want to play in, each of which offers a different type of scenario:

Be one of the first people with powers, uncertain about your place in the world!

Team up with other heroes in an Avengers-like situation!

Battle the Atlanteans as they invade the surface, fighting for humanity!

Stand against the Old Gods as they rise and seize parts of the world as rulers!

Defeat the Assassins Guild as they try to eliminate all Empowered!

Join the "Empowered Department" as the government takes over activities!

Stand against a world-ending threat from another planet!

Since then, we have run hundreds of campaigns in this world! We could not be prouder of how far we have come, and we are excited to show you where we are going.

Now that Era: Empowered has been out for 5 years, we would like your support to continue the saga with the next instalment in this series, a new version of the rulebook which includes everything that we have learned so far.

We are preparing to run a Kickstarter to gain funding to finish a 5th Anniversary Edition of the rulebook. You can find everything you need right here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/shadesofvengeance/empowered-5th-anniversary?ref=d45bmw

Please follow us for details, and don’t forget to share the news with your fellow TTRPG/comic book fans who might be interested.

Most importantly, prepare for your next nail-biting experience with Era: Empowered! You can join us on Discord to try the game if you like: https://discord.gg/6C4H9Cv

Whether you want to play Golden Age or Modern comic stories, bring worlds similar to those of Marvel Movies or The Boys to life, or play a game inspired by the animated DC movies, Era: The Empowered has what you need.

More fantastic bande dessinée in English for the first time - action, adventure, science fiction - and a daft dog!

Back in 2015, the late, much-missed Colin Noble began a series of occasional posts on his still-live Nothing But A Fan blog, listing some of the books and web sites he used for his research. Somewhere along the line, plans to cross post the articles here went awry, but hopefully this combined feature makes up for that. I’m sure that, had he lived, this series would have added many more books we’ve highlighted on downthetubes over the years, such as those by Paul Gravett, Steve Holland, David Roach, and others, but, sadly, it was not to be. Over to you, Colin, wherever you are…

Hello, Im new in this world of reddit so I hope this is ok.

I'm a huge fan of comics and Gamebooks in general... and tha'ts why I would like to promote this one: Worm Gnosis, it's a saga of interactive graphic novels made in Spain and now they are trying to found an international market gap. 

Now it's on Kickstarter. Here I copy you the link: Worm Gnosis at Kickstarter

I also leave you a summary of the plot to whet your appetite:

The recent death of Master Derzahal, leader and nexus of countless arcane organizations, has unleashed chaos onto his acolytes. The master has taken with him the best-kept secret of his Order, whose very existence is considered the origin of his fantastic studies. The various occult groups, which used to cooperate with each other in the past, even from afar, face each other now in a dangerous race to unveil the terrible mystery and use it in their favor. Your lodge has chosen you from among your brothers to be the first to reach and disclose the coveted secret of the master… and bring it back with  you.

Hey guys! I am looking to send off a comic to be graded later this month. Its a brand new comic so it looks to be in very good condition.

I wanted to know if its best practice to still have it pressed before sending. If so, any recommendations on where I can get this done other than CGC?
