LNLP Announcement of Ownership Changes

bayonetbrant · July 02, 2014, 08:39:21 PM

Most of you probably knew this was on the way, but here's the official announcement

QuoteWe would like to welcome David Heath as LNLP's new principle owner and business manager. David will be handling production, sales and the strategic direction of the company. Mark Walker will be handling design for the core system with help from Jeff Lewis. Many of you may already know David was the previous owner of Matrix Games, The Wargamer and The Gamer's Network. Mark and David have worked together before and both have really enjoyed the experience. We are pretty excited and will have a lot more news to report soon.

Wow. Some of us (me) are clearly out of the loop....

Will this signal an increase in development of digital products alongside that to which so many megaflora contributed their essence?

Me too. No idea that was in the works.

Hmmmm... this happened months ago and it's just been "officially" announced now..... ???

It's all a good thing as it lets Mark focus on game design while David will focus on getting them to print.

There's been a couple of growing pains but hopefully that works it self out soon....

So Mark was THE owner, right? And then he sold a majority of the company but is still the main developer?

Correct.

Should work out great. Plus David is working on in-house printing capability too. More games on the horizon I do believe. O0

What else has David worked on since Matrix?

Yes, there was Jim Crabtree involved for a while, as well. We interviewed him a while ago when Mark first gave up ownership to focus on the games: http://grogheads.com/?p=2165

The question that I want to know is, will Mark let somebody else right his rulebooks for him now?

LOL! Probably not. ;)

I'm in the initial concepts design stage of creating my own fantasy wargame that I hope to publish one day. I wonder if LnLP will continue to seek out new 3rd party games as much as they seemed to before.

Capn Darwin · July 03, 2014, 01:47:54 PM

Ubercat, they have a submission section on their website. Try that for starters.

Ubercat · July 03, 2014, 03:28:19 PM

I probably will, but it will take some time to get to that point.
