Era of Silence, A Chemipunk TTRPG

Created by Shrike Tabletop

1000 years ago, the gods left us. 400 years ago, our world was buried in ash. Now, we rely on alchemy and each other to survive. This is the Era of Silence In the Long Silence, new monsters have shown their faces, from wasteland mutants to zealous fascists—no corner of the world is truly safe. Grab your team and get ready to fight your way through the shattered surface of Vian. Dark, but not hopeless: you will find your reason to keep going in this strange new world. Era of Silence is built on a roll-low dice pool system called Thorne, designed to allow different characters to excel at the same task in different situations. Mixed with an interlocking Trait system, the game heavily emphasizes teamwork in a traditional RPG format. A streamlined character creation process offers over 15,000+ possible character combinations but can be chosen from in a single sitting. Play a thief with a penchant for machines, a mage with a military background, a combat alchemist, and more! Then grab gear that utilizes a Template + Mod system. With just a few choices, a standard weapon turns into a trademark with its own twists and effects. The core of the game is focused on combat. A Stamina focused action mechanic and a State system allow for tactical freedom in a way that's intuitive for both the Narrator and Protagonist Characters. An HPless damage mechanic creates an intense atmosphere where every shot feels lethal and keeps combats short. The world of Vian is a chemipunk future fantasy setting written by R. Val and Moss Sugarmountains. The book features full-color art by Moss Sugarmountains and Willabee. With layout by F. Dan O'Neill. --- Era of Silence comes with the full core rulebook and printable character sheets (Form fillable coming soon). Release September 27th!

Final Survey Reminder

Hello backers! 


Still working on the game behind the scenes. We're sending this out to remind everyone to fill out their surveys. We currently have 13 surveys unfilled, and once they're ready we can make our final tallies! It helps us as we're also printing things such as miniatures. If your survey isn't filled out, you just got an email from BackerKit, fill that out and we're all good! In most cases it will just be plugging in a few text answers. 


A more serious update soon once we have more to show from the creation process! 


Thank you all,


-Robin Belle
