Cubicle
7 – Adamant Entertainment Announce Partnership
Cubicle 7 Entertainment
and Adamant Entertainment are pleased to announce they have formed a
publishing partnership.
The deal sees Cubicle 7 handling production and marketing for Adamant’s print products, starting with Mars: Savage Worlds Edition in September. This fantastic Savage Worlds setting features sky-corsairs, ancient cities, warrior tribes and albino apes – the Mars of pulp fiction and Saturday morning serials.
Following in October
is Thrilling Tales – a great
blend of classic pulse-pounding excitement
from the pulp magazines and cliffhanger serials of the 1930s and 40s,
again using the award-winning Savage Worlds system.
“Adamant Entertainment
are an Origins and Ennies Awards nominated company and Gareth-Michael
Skarka is a visionary in the gaming field so we’re obviously delighted
to have him, and his company, on board,” said Dominic McDowall-Thomas
of Cubicle 7, “creating a partnership between the two companies has
been something we’ve long spoken about and with the plans that Gareth
has in place for the next few years I’m overjoyed that we can part of
that process and dream.”
“I’ve been continually
impressed by the talent, drive and enthusiasm that the Cubicle 7 crew
bring to their projects, and I’m pleased that Adamant can now be a part
of that,” added Gareth-Michael Skarka, Director of Adamant Entertainment.
“We’ve been on the same metaphorical page for a few years now, offering
each other advice and assistance from time to time, so having the partnership
‘go public’ is very exciting.”
About
Cubicle 7 Entertainment Ltd
Founded in 2006 Cubicle 7 Entertainment was set up by Angus Abranson
and Dominic McDowall-Thomas, two gaming entrepreneurs who wanted to
create a games publisher fostering some truly iconic brands. Since then
the company has published role playing games from a growing list of
properties including Victoriana, SLA Industries, Starblazer Adventures
(based on DC Thomson’s 80’s Starblazer comic series) and 7th Circle’s
Chinese fantasy Qin. In June 2009 Cubicle 7 announced it had joined
the Rebellion Group.
Victoriana is a fabulous fusion of Victorian adventure and fantasy myth, SLA Industries is a gritty futuristic urban horror fuelled by classic British punk imagery, whilst Starblazer Adventure is set firmly in the heart of classic 80’s space opera where gigantic fleets prowl the starlanes and devilish scientists operate enormous engines of destruction. The English translation of French publisher 7th Circle’s Qin propels players in to the epic fantasies and tragic events of ancient Chinese legend.
