From publisher blurb: Play any sub-genre of Sci-Fi! Just leap into the relevant point in 500 years of playable history, create your heroes (or anti-heroes!) and start playing! Leaving Earth behind, the crew of the Kurmaja travel across the stars for a thousand years to reach their destination: Taranis, another planet where Humanity can thrive. As their civilisation grows, they encounter alien races, develop technology and explore space. But all is not straightforward as the Consortium expands... Era: The Consortium offers the chance to build every type of Sci-Fi story you could possibly want, all in one book. Just by choosing where in the 500-year history you play, you can do anything from colonisation to encountering alien races, to participating in a war for survival, to blurring the line between man and machine and the rise of a resistance movement attempting to overthrow an evil and corrupt government! 500 years of lore detailing the history of the Consortium! Full rules for the Era d10 system – no need to pick up various other rulebooks, everything is right here (although expansions offer different options)! An array of campaign sessions, GM advice, customisation tips and much, much more! The 5th Anniversary Edition Rulebook adds extra detail to the 500-year story, filling in some gaps. There's also extra GM advice, such as guidance on which time periods to use for each sub-genre you might want to play!
