Green Ronin has announced plans to launch a new fiction line

Greetings fellow travelers of the Tabletop Multiverse!

A day or so ago I was made aware of a press release from Green Ronin Publishing which details their plans to start work on their new "fiction initiative", as they refer to it.

In the press release we can read:

Green Ronin aims to include novels, anthologies, and both stand-alone and serialized short fiction in their releases, tied to the rich and varied worlds of their many tabletop roleplaying properties. Early releases will include fiction set in the romantic fantasy world of Aldea from the Blue Rose Roleplaying Game and tales of superheroic adventures set in the world of Earth-Prime from Mutants & Masterminds.

As part of this fiction launch, Green Ronin has come to an agreement with author and editor C.A. Suleiman to publish and distribute his previously existing fiction anthology Tales of the Lost Citadel in electronic and deluxe print formats. Tales of the Lost Citadel will be the first release for the new fiction imprint.

Sounds like they have big plans for this, and I admit it will be very interesting to see it all come to fruition. :) Personally, I can't wait to see how they tie it in with their existing worlds.

To help them in this endeavor, they have brought in some experienced help by bringing on board Jaym Gates, who has previously worked on anthologies such as 'Eclipse Phase: After the Fall', 'Vampire the Masquerade: Endless Ages' and the 'Strange California'. She has also written fan fiction and/or setting material for things such as: 'Blue Rose', 'Firefly: Smuggler's guide to the Rim', and many other things.

Green Ronin says:

Leading this effort as Fiction Line Managing Editor will be Jaym Gates, author and editor, whose guiding hand has recently been evident on projects such as the Strange California anthology and Eclipse Phase: After the Fall, among many others.

“I always said that if we started a fiction line, we needed to do it the right way, and that’s precisely why we’ve brought Jaym on board,” says Green Ronin President Chris Pramas. “She has the chops and the experience to make this line sing.”

“I’m excited and honored to work with the Green Ronin team,” says Gates. “I’ve been a fan of their stories for a long time, and look forward to the opportunity to help bring new stories to life in their worlds.”

In Jaym Gates, Green Ronin has found themselves an experienced Fiction Line Managing Editor, who has previously worked with companies such as Paizo Publishing, and 'The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America'.

All in all it sounds promising, and I have no doubt that Green Ronin will deliver the goods!

Until next time folks!
