By doing so, players expand their power and secure their territories from the threat posed by their opponents… And those are half their problems: players will also have to face the Wandering Monster and its spores, an enemy as ancient as Elipsion itself.

Era: Forbidden TTRPG

Era: Forbidden places characters in a world where Angels and Demons are fighting over the remains of a once-great Human civilisation. Most people have been wiped out, but the few survivors are now protected by Forbidden, a selection of people who have bound themselves to an artifact of the Angels or the Demons. Some of these Remnants are weapons, others are equipment, but all provide amazing abilities.

We’ve focused the design of this game on a smaller group than most other RPGs, optimising for a group of 1-3 players and a GM. By designing it with these sorts of groups in mind, we’ve made individual characters much more able to survive without help… meaning lone wolf stories are completely possible! Of course, larger groups can also play, just as smaller groups can play our other games! Inspired by ‘Darksiders’ and ‘Hellboy’, this game offers a wide range of possibilities for gameplay in the middle of the celestial war between Angels and Demons! 

You can get a softcover version plus PDF for $13.
