This May in a fit of ego building the size of which the world has seldom seen, Rob Markham formed a new game company, modestly called Markham Designs.

The editor and his assistant prepare to view the first two releases of Markham Designs.

The purpose of the new company is to provide Rob with an outlet for games he wants to see published but which other companies, whose ultimate purpose was to frustrate Rob, have decided not to publish because the subjects are too marginal or non-commercial.

All kidding aside, the purpose is to put out games that I wanted to see published that either have topics that have not been covered before and/or with systems that interest me. I have always enjoyed games on offbeat subjects and this will be the center of the company. With the advent of DTP, I can publish games on a very limited basis and still make enough of a profit to justify to some extent my effort. Every bit of MD is hand produced by me. That is why I've put my name on the company.
