Online play
Holotable was the downloaded virtual tabletop for this era.[3]
Rules
The era's consolidated rules book from 2007 is Players Committee Advanced Rulebook 1.7.1. The Players Committee rules page linked that PDF in July and September 2009.[4] From 2002 until that book, play used Decipher Rulebook 2.0, Decipher Glossary 2.0, the Decipher Glossary Supplement, and the January 2003 Players Committee Rules Supplement.
End of the era
In 2009 the Players Committee regrouped the numbered sets into Virtual Blocks.[5] That change opened the Virtual Legacy era. Event page: 2009 Virtual Block Reorganization.
