About Sean K Reynolds Games....
The goal of my company is to publish quality games that help you make better choices about your gaming. They may teach you something about game design in general, the d20 System in particular, or even some part of the real world; ideally, my d20 System products should leave you understanding the rules better so you can make better choices for your game, whether in designing your own material or evaluating published books to determine if they're balanced, campaign-appropriate, or worth reading at all.Sean K Reynolds Games is a new game company founded in October 2004 by game designer Sean K Reynolds (that's me!). I've been gamer since 1980, worked in the tabletop RPG industry since 1995, and as a professional game designer since 1998. My work includes the development of 3rd Edition Dungeons & Dragons and the 3E relaunches of the Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms campaign settings. I left Wizards of the Coast in 2002 and joined the computer game industry, working on fantasy and post-apocalyptic RPGs and a martial arts action game. After eighteen months working on computer games, I left that job and decided to found his own small game company using his extensive knowledge of the inner workings of the d20 System and experience working with large and small publishers.
Sean K Reynolds Games is located on the east coast of the USA, not too far from Manhattan. I am the sole proprietor, though he relies on contract workers for art, editing, and other aspects of the business.
So why a handprint logo? It represents getting your hands dirty doing game design. It represents leaving a mark that others can identify. It represents giving people a hand with their design questions. And I'm left-handed (yes, it's actually my handprint).
Several talented people are helping Sean K Reynolds Games with its first few books. Brian Cortijo is the editor of The New Argonauts and the designer for New to the Game. Marc Schmalz of is the typesetter for The New Argonauts. Gerald Lee did interior art for Swords Into Plowshares and is the cover artist for both The New Argonauts and Hungry Little Monsters. More info on these and other contributors when details are finalized.
We strongly support the sharing of material through the Open Game License, and our goal is to have as much of our text Open as possible. Furthermore, any original* Open content in our books is freely available for use by any publisher according to the terms of the OGL. In other words, if you want to know if you have our permission to use our original* Open material, the answer is "yes." You don't even have to ask first, though we'd appreciate a courtesy heads-up so we can mention your book on our site.
(*This caveat is here because from time to time we may use someone else's Open material in our products and we don't want to speak for them in terms of giving automatic permission to use their Open material. Basically we grant all publishers permission to use anything mentioned in a product's OGL Section 15 copyright notice that is copyright by Sean K Reynolds Games, no need to ask. Publishers interested in anything else listed in the product's OGL Section 15--such as that created by other publishers and used in our books according to the OGL--should address their questions to the owner of that copyright.)
