Ranking of d20 Publishers

[JoeGKushner]

I wonder what happened to MEG? I was hoping that the rest of the Foul Locals would be published.

Another small print publisher that has 2 excellent books is Skirmisher Game Development Group. The books are Experts and Warriors. If you have any desire to customize either (check out the reviews here first), I suggest that you ask your LGS to order them.

Eden is coming out with some more d20 material soon based on a French game.

AFAIK Eden cancelled that but are still doing Waysides, the Book of Taverns.

Thank you, johnsemlak! All of the above are great quality companies and it's nice to be listed with them, even if only by coincidence.

Is Living Imagination active?

I was wondering that myself. Looks like their most recent d20 publication, Charge!, came out in May 2004. Don't they publish LARP stuff too?

Human Head Studios
The Game Mechanics

Has Human Head done anything since Redhurst?

I'd say The Game Mechanics gets half a point since their print products are published by Green Ronin (though I *really* like what they did with Thieves' Quarter - great stuff).

I'm note sure there *are* 25 active d20 print publishers (I use print because you mention seeing them at your hobby store)....

Well, I guess this is just supposed to be about ranking print publishers but if one expanded the field to include ranking electronic publishers I'd feel confident saying that CMG ranks right up there with the rankest of...

I mean, CMG is one of the rankest...

Hmmmm... Just the print pubs, you say? Lots of good ones, I think.

 

[DaveMage]

We love ya, Mark!

If .pdf publishers were included in the list, then yeah, there'd be *way* more than 25 publishers...

Still, even with the ones that chimed in (thank you!), there seems to be about 30 or so active d20 print publishers.

DaveMage...

Thank you ever so much for reminding me of the Wiggles. I thought at work I could at least escape them for a while... guess I was wrong...
