Reception

[edit]

Stewart Wieck reviewed Barony and Era Ten in White Wolf #26 (April/May, 1991), rating both a 4 out of 5 and stated that "Better Games works under the tagline that you've been gamemastering long enough to know what you cwant and how you want to run your game. The systems presented in Barony and Era Ten will allow you to do this if you have the stamina to survive the rules writing and the wits to use the ideas."[1]

In the 2014 book Designers & Dragons: The '80s, Shannon Appelcline noted that Era Ten and another game by the same company, Barony (1992) were part of a movement of "'free style roleplay' games" in the early 1990s, "early 'indie' efforts that tried to break free of the old clichés of RPGs and instead offer more story-oriented games."[2]: 36
