Era: The Chosen - Core Rulebook

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Era: The Chosen is a horror Tabletop RPG set in a world invaded by terrifying, shadowy, dimension-hopping monsters called the Anonassi. The game takes place across three unique historical periods, the renaissance, the Victorian period, and the modern era. Take on the role of one of the chosen - the rare few human hunters who can see these dimensional interlopers - or play as a regular joe, and try your best to investigate a mystery caused by an invisible and terrifying unknown threat. Gear up with an ever-advancing selection of unique Anonassi-hunting technology to save the world, or go running in uninformed and unprepared to a situation that you may not survive - it’s up to you if you want to play a tense cosmic horror conundrum, or a pulpy, guns-blazing adventure. 

Your character narratively advances by a delicate balance of triggers (fears, traumas, and moments of existential dread which are inflicted upon them throughout their adventures), and trophies (personal moments of triumph or bravery that can allow players to power through their fears for a limited time). This system helps build a picture of your overall mental state throughout the course of your adventures against the Anonassi.


In this rulebook you will find: 

  • The Core Era D10 ruleset, a versatile “dice pool” based TTRPG game system which powers play

  • A guide to character creation, with the choice of five unique “clans” of Chosen, governing how you take on the Anonassi

  • A detailed equipment list, including weapons and armour, each scaled to appropriately fit the three time periods of the game’s setting

  • A detailed history of the world’s secret war with the Anonassi, plus information about various locations and organisations unique to the Era: The Chosen setting

  • A selection of example scenarios to get you playing right away, in any three of the game’s time periods

  • Worked examples of the rules, and GM advice tailored to people new to running the game

  • An extensive bestiary of the Anonassi species, with full, combat-ready stats

  • Character and GM aids, including a detailed list of examples for Attribute/Skill pairings, as well as fumble examples for when dice rolls don’t go to plan

The Era: The Chosen core rulebook (and a few dice!) are all that is required for anyone to play the game. With a player’s guide available to add new context and abilities, as well as an expansion full of more pre-written sessions, you’re all set for more adventure, should you want to dive deeper into the world of Era: The Chosen.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
