Green Ronin Publishing is an American company based in Seattle, Washington. Founded in 2000 by Chris Pramas, they have published several role-playing game–related products. They have won several awards for their games including multiple Origins, ENnie, Pen & Paper, and Inquest Fan Awards. ==History== In early 1996, Chris Pramas acquired ''The Whispering Vault'' rights from Mike Nystul and formed Ronin Publishing with his brother, Jason Pramas, and their mutual friend, Neal Darcy. The company published two role playing game supplements, ''The Book of Hunts'' (1997) for ''The Whispering Vault'' and ''Blood of the Valiant'' for ''Feng Shui''. Ronin Publishing came to an end when Chris Pramas went to work for Wizards of the Coast in 1998. Pramas founded Green Ronin Publishing with his wife Nicole Lindroos in 2000.〔 Green Ronin published its first book in July 2000: ''Ork!'' (2000), a beer and pretzels RPG about playing orks.〔 Working at Wizards of the Coast, Pramas had inside information on the d20 license, and Green Ronin's lead d20 offering, ''Death in Freeport'' (2000) went on sale on August 10, 2000, the same day as the new third edition ''Player's Handbook'' (2000) for ''D&D''.〔 In 2001 Green Ronin expanded beyond their early Freeport adventures and went into the business of publishing sourcebooks and other gaming material.〔 In March 2002 Pramas was laid off from Wizards of the Coast and took this as an opportunity to go full-time with Green Ronin, doubling the company's production that year.〔 Green Ronin's first new RPG was ''Spaceship Zero'' (2002); Toren Atkinson of the rock band The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets had contributed artwork to ''Ork!'' and ''Death in Freeport'' and asked Pramas to publish a game based on the band's album ''Spaceship Zero Original Motion Picture Soundtrack'' (2000).〔 Green Ronin's other RPG of the year was ''Mutants & Masterminds'' (2002), created by Steve Kenson who Pramas had asked to design a new d20-based superhero RPG based on his freelance work on a number of superhero RPGs.〔 On May 12, 2010, Green Ronin Publishing announced a third edition of the superhero role-playing game ''Mutants & Masterminds'' would debut in the fall. This announcement came just 9 days after the publisher announced that it would debut a new ''DC Adventures'' game in August, based upon ''Mutants & Masterminds''. According to Green Ronin President Chris Pramas, the two new games will "share a common ruleset."〔 In 2013, Green Ronin Publishing used crowdfunding platform Kickstarter to redesign and enlarge the Freeport campaign setting for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Green Ronin Publishing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
