ArtHaus Publishing Acquires Pendragon
Atlanta, GA, August 25, 2004 ? ArtHaus Publishing and Peter Corless of Green Knight Publishing have reached an agreement for ArtHaus to acquire ownership of the Pendragon Arthurian roleplaying game.
"It's with great pride that we become the publisher of Pendragon. This game is not only the first roleplaying game that emphatically stressed story over game mechanics, but the game mechanics themselves are so artfully designed that they actually add to the story and character development rather than detract," said Stewart Wieck of ArtHaus, which is a close publishing partner of White Wolf Publishing. "We're want above all for Pendragon to remain true to its artistic roots, but because of our position in the industry, we'll allow even more gamers the opportunity to see and play this great game."
One of the most admired and enduring pen-and-paper roleplaying games of the last thirty years, Pendragon allows players to take on the role of knights at King Arthur's court. Originally developed by award-winning game designer Greg Stafford, Pendragon has been widely hailed for its trend-setting emphasis on morality and moving beyond the "slay the monster" archetype that once dominated fantasy roleplaying.
Peter Corless acquired Pendragon from Chaosium, Inc. in 1998 and published under the Green Knight Press banner. "I am very pleased with ArtHaus' desire to carry on the Pendragon tradition of excellence in roleplaying and trust their dramatic vision and business capabilities," said Corless. "This will allow Green Knight to return to focus on other projects, such as Pendragon Online and Pendragon Fiction, while allowing the dice-and-paper roleplaying game fans a new source of products."
ArtHaus has acquired all of Green Knights remaining back stock of Pendragon roleplaying products and White Wolf will begin selling them shortly.
ArtHaus Publishing is a special projects publisher partnered with market-leader White Wolf Publishing. Under the ArtHaus banner, White Wolf has released a diverse array of roleplaying games. More information on the White Wolf family of brands can be found at www.white-wolf.com
Green Knight Publishing is a premier publisher of fiction, games and entertainments revolving around the world of King Arthur, Merlin and the Knights of the Round Table. A private company based in Mountain View, in the San Francisco Bay Area, Green Knight Publishing was founded by Peter Corless in 1998.
