This is the second part of a 2-part episode; you can find the part 1 here. We continue our weekly calls with Ed and keep following his efforts to crowd-fund the expansion of his science-fiction themed tabletop roleplaying game Era: The Consortium Secret War on Kickstarter. As the project had just recently passed the £1,000 mark at the time we spoke, Ed gave us a few more tips acquired from his experience of running Kickstarter projects, including what not to do.  We pursue the conversation to discuss how his games company, Shades of Vengeance, started supporting other tabletop roleplaying games creator to complete and finance their games and share them with a wider audience. This started at the Anime North in Toronto a few years ago and they have now successfully supported several games that Ed talks through. In the last conversation, we wish good luck to Ed for the final days of his Kickstarter project and ask him a few of the now traditional Ice Cream for Everyone cool down questions.

For this new episode of the podcast, we try something a little experimental with roleplaying game designer and writer Ed Jowett based in the UK. We had a few conversations over time to follow the behind the scenes of his Kickstarter crowdfunding project to support the finance of an expansion to his science-fiction based game; Era: The Consortium.   This is a two part episode and there is still time for you to check out his Kickstarter project. For anyone out there fan of science-fiction universes, interested in roleplaying games, or simply in finding out more details about running a crowdfunding campaign, it's definitely worth a listen. In the episode, we talk about the progress of the campaign in the first two weeks, as well as the other games Ed designed at Shades of Vengeance; Era: Lyres and Era: The Empowered. We also discuss Ed's inspirations for game mechanics, science-fiction and where he started playing video games and tabletop roleplaying games.  Some of the information mentioned in the episode: Era: The Consortium - The Secret War on Kickstarter Shades of Vengeance / Imagine RPG Dragonmeet convention in London World of Warcraft White Wolf Publishing Wizards of the Coast Hasbro Mega Traveller 1 on the Amiga Traveller RPG Paranoia RPG Durham University gaming society Dune, Frank Herbert Babylon 5 TV series Firefly TV series and RPG Shadowrun RPG MCM Comic Con London Prefundia.com Kicktraq.com Reddit Mutants & Masterminds Marvel RPG Consortium indie video game by Interdimensional Games The Pixar Theory (Pixar single universe spanning all movies) The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen (cf.
