In this presentation, Maximiliano Tabacman will be presenting the main features, abstractions and design decisions behind ERA, the Electronic Roleplaying Assistant ( https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/137825/ERA-for-Rolemaster ).

ERA is currently being used to create characters and manage the adventures of many gaming groups across the world, supporting Navigator RPG, Against the Darkmaster, Rolemaster Classic, Rolemaster Fantasy and Rolemaster Unified.

We will review how Pharo allows creating a deployed version that runs locally in Linux, Mac and Windows, while Digital Ocean and Auth0 allow running an online server with different user roles.
