Ronin Arts is a role-playing game company founded by Philip J. Reed and Christopher Shy in 1999 as a spin-off from Studio Ronin. Ronin Arts publishes The Whispering Vault, Star Ace, M&M Superlink support, and D20 Future support.
Ronin Arts began as an experiment, when Reed wrote the company's first PDF 101 Spellbooks. Surprised by how quickly the gaming community embraced the product, he quickly set out to produce more. The company soon made its products available at RPGNOW.com, one of the first sites to exclusively handle the sale and promotion of roleplaying games in electronic format. Today, Ronin Arts is considered one of the most successful publishers in the emerging PDF industry.
In February 2007, however, they ended their relationship with RPGNOW due to creative differences.
Not to be confused with Green Ronin Publishing, another popular producer of RPG supplements.
Famous quotes containing the word arts:
“For me, the principal fact of life is the free mind. For good and evil, man is a free creative spirit. This produces the very queer world we live in, a world in continuous creation and therefore continuous change and insecurity. A perpetually new and lively world, but a dangerous one, full of tragedy and injustice. A world in everlasting conflict between the new idea and the old allegiances, new arts and new inventions against the old establishment.”
—Joyce Cary (1888–1957)
