Open Game Table, Volume 2
As of September 1st, 2010 – Nevermet Press, LLC will become the official publisher of the Open Game Table: Anthology of Roleplaying Game Blog book series. I previously published the books as a quasi-independent project (with oh… 100+ volunteers helping out), but it was never something that I formally associated with Nevermet Press. The reasons were simple. The company was started by three bloggers – myself, Michael Brewer, and Quinn Murphy – so it never made sense for me to roll OGT into NMP since I had two partners who were not involved as publishers of those books (although they both contributed as authors).
In 2009, before our website went live, Quinn stepped down as a partner shortly before our website went live – but Michael and I continued to herald NMP as its two leaders. In that time we have brought one eBook to market, which has received positive reviews thus far, published over 125 blog posts on a wide variety of topics and genres, and formed a formal LLC for the company. Unfortunately, however, due to family and work constraints Michael Brewer has also decided to step down from Nevermet Press – leaving me as the sole owner of the LLC.
I know that, as a fan of Nevermet Press, you may be reading this and wondering where NMP is “going” and what changes are ahead for us. Well – I’ll say that we aren’t going anywhere but forward! And what changes are coming down the pipe will aim to move us towards being more productive while maintaining that “indy” streak in everything we do.
What about Open Game Table then? Well, with any potential issues moot at this point, it makes sense now for Open Game Table to be part of Nevermet Press’s official catalog. My time is fairly limited, and doing all my RPG publishing adventures under one roof makes much more sense than two. Hopefully (again time permitting) I’ll be able to add Open Game Table to the Nevermet Press store page. Stay tuned to that change, and some other updates to our website in the near future.
That’s it for now – but hopefully I’ll be posting another update on The Hidden Kingdom and the Dead Queens of Morvena development very soon.
Cheers,
Jonathan Jacobs
