Hey all,

It's Robin V. Belle or R. Val. I'm the project lead on the Era of Silence RPG, made with a handful of friends in 2019-2021. I don't post nearly as many updates as I should (new module and campaign expansion this year). This one's a little self-serving. I'm a trans woman living with a schizoaffective disorder. Long term fans of the project may remember some difficulties with my housing in 2023. This eventually ended up with me staying with family, but unfortunately that has become untenable. When Trump won in 2024 they decided to crystallize their  trans skepticism into full transphobia, and I couldn't stay. I've been on the road/homeless for a bit now. I'm finally localized in one area enough to do a more effective job search, but my funds are depleted in a time when I have a tax bill, government fees for my car, clothing needs, car repairs, and much more. 

So with that in  mind, my pride and joy Era of Silence RPG is pay what you want until the 17th, as part of a larger funding drive. I see people have been eager to hop on the reduced price, and that's more than welcome. Seeing people excited for a game that I consider our love letter to the traditional campaign-RPG and grid combat experience warms my heart. If you have the means and the willingness, consider stopping by if you like what you see, and leaving a tip or a donation! No expectation.

If it suits you, the gofundme I have is also a really good way to support me. https://www.gofundme.com/f/robins-urgent-need-a-safe-place-to-call-home

Enjoy the game and I look forward in sharing what's to come when my life finally stabilizes. Check out shrikepublishing.com for Era of Silence fiction and our other products!
