Dark Era is a tabletop roleplaying game set in 1963 where aliens are real. Take on the role of Agents as you investigate and neutralise alien threats.
One of the subtypes of rituals I'm working on for Dark Era 963: Roleplaying in the Dark Ages, are Curses.

Actual evil magical Curses.
Like all rituals a proper Curse takes time and planning.

What are some of your favourite Curse ideas?

Many evil wizard tropes has the character summon a demon. But what about summoning an angel?

In the new 963 Setting for Dark Era you can do both.

Demons, angels and other outsiders hate being ripped from their home planes and will do what they can to return.

Playtesting of Dark Era 963 - fantasy rolrplaying in the dark ages - went well.

Subtle hints at something wyrd going on.

Working on rules for player character Companions.

Third version of them as previous felt unbalanced.

Anyone have suggestions?

Some of my own art and maps I did first DarkEra

I'm thinking it's time to look at more art for DarkEra.

My main artist lives in Ukraine and I love his work so will be using him in the future too.

This is some of his work of actual characters that were played.

Got a long list of edits and tweaks for Dark Era from the last couple of weeks sessions.

Good to have some folk committed and collaborating with ideas etc

Looking at how different rpgs do levelling or advancement.

Points are common
Either points to gain a level or points you spend directly on improvements

I also like level gain through mile stones or advancements that then let you choose from a range of improvements.

Which kind do you like?

Thinking about advancement or level gain in ttrpgs. Dark Era used an experienct point award system that players spend on improvements like traits or research.

Other Games uses level gain or rank gain of sorts that either give you fixed improvements or options.

There are merits to both.

First post to introduce. I am Chris, and along with some friends, we are creating a tabletop roleplaying game, Dark Era. Set in 1963, you take on the role of agents investigating and neutralising alien threats while taking their technology to augment your own.
