Six Kingdoms: E.R.A.
Art by Corvin Stitchert
Six Kingdoms E.R.A. is a text-based roleplaying game (TRPG) based on Lego Bionicle. Over the course of a year and a half, players explored the moral implications of Bionicle’s lore through collaboratively written combat, deeply personal character narratives, and intertwining timelines. The world grew every few months with rules expansions, new locations, and powerful enemies to romance and/or destroy.
Escapement
A war of ideals and the hunt for six powerful artifacts leads to the awakening of the Great Spirit Mata Nui. Escapement was designed from the ground up to be both the beginning and the ending for the trilogy.
Escapement ran from January, 2020 through March, 2020
Rebirth
The inhabitants of the decapitated Great Spirit pour out from Mata Nui’s skull into The Time Between Time: a land of towering monsters, roaming gangs of mech pilots, and eldritch entities hungry for new supplicants.
Rebirth ran April 1st through December 31st, 2020
Apocalypse
What lies beyond the Far Shore? What bitter secrets remain hidden? All cycles must end as they began.
Apocalypse ran from January 1st through June 30th, 2021.
