From: [s--r--e] at [buck.cqs.washington.edu] (Jonathan Sari) Newsgroups: rec.games.frp.misc Subject: The Complete Role-Playing Companies List Date: 24 Sep 1993 07:04:01 GMT This is the companion to The Complete Role-playing Game List, listing information on all RPG companies in business, with particular emphasis on the E-mail addresses of said companies. Any updates of this information will be gratefully accepted. -Jon Welcome to the Usenet Role-Playing Game Companies List! This is intended to be a list of all companies currently producing Role-Playing Games in the world. This was formerly a part of the Complete Role-Playing Game List, but it was brought to my attention that this part of the list might have value to some who were not particularly interested in the other part of the list, so it has been split off. Like the Complete Role-Playing Game List, this is placed in the public domain, so you can do whatever you want to it, without worrying that I might get miffed and whine incessantly about it. I would humbly request that the names of all the people (at the end of this file) whose E-mail made this list a reality be retained if you plan to keep the list in its entirity. Please realize that although the list itself is in the public domain, the company names should be considered trademarks of the company itself, and that inclusion in this list is not intended to detract from these trademarks in any way. -Jon None of the addresses listed are for companies known (to me) to be out of business. In the case of companies with multiple addresses, the last one listed is the one I think is most likely to be correct. If I get confirmation on correct addresses for any of those companies, I will remove the errant ones. Some companies not based in the US have two addresses: The non-US (primary) and a secondary US address. The E-mail addresses I include were all valid, when last I checked, and none of the people listed informed me that they were unwilling to accept E-mail on behalf of the company they are associated with, although some failed to respond at all. The vast majority expressed willingness to act as net proponents for their companies and are on this list with their explicit permission. ======================================================================== ***** NIFTY LIST OF GAME COMPANY ADDRESSES ***** ======================================================================== Company: Abenteuer in Magira Address: Zbrod Friedenstrasse 33 6101 Bickenbach Tel 06257/62197 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Company: Adventurers' Guild Address: 401 New Castle Road Marshaltown, IA 50158 U.S.A. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Company: Atlas Games Address: P.O.
