Description:

Tangent Games was conceived by two long-time gamers, Coy Kissee and Geoff Habiger, in the hopes of promoting our own unique vision of what a game should be. Coy and Geoff have have been game players (and game designers) for over twenty years. During that time we have played a plethora of games from RPGs and collectable card games to board games and computer games. We have designed our own games and modified the rules of existing games to suit our own needs. After much thought we finally decided that we needed to bring our passion for fun and exciting games to the public.

While Coy and Geoff have a passion for palying all types of games, we have a long held interest in playing RPGs. Unfortunately, in the many off-the-shelf game systems we have played in we have rarely come across the detail we were seeking in our games. This desire for detail is the driving force behind Tangent Games first product, Ados: Land of Strife. The Ados: Land of Strife campaign setting is merely the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the amount of detail we will be creating for Ados. Eventually, the entirety of the world of Ados will exist on our website, available to be accessed by GMs and players who are members of our community. We feel that NPC shouldn't also mean "Non-Personality Character," so the level of detail we will create will be such that a GM can click through the layers down to individual homes of NPCs to learn who lives there, their stats, their goals and desires, and any adventure hooks that might exist for that NPC. Want to know the floor plan for the hovel across the street from the Temple? We'll have it. The layout for the next town the PCs will enter? It'll be there. Our aim is to create, with the help of GMs and players like you, a living planet that changes through time.

Coy Kissee has been a devoted follower of Urlak, the Collector for most of his life. His passion for collecting started with baseball cards, then comic books, then other sports cards and trading cards, and now encompasses all manner of collectable items. Coy's passion for collecting led to the founding of Wildcat Cards, a sports card and CCG store located in Manhattan, Kansas, in 1995. During this time Coy has continued to be a devoted roleplayer and GM. The seeds of what has become the Ados: Land of Strife campaign setting were started long ago and Tangent Games will now see this campaign setting made available to all.

Geoff Habiger has followed the call of Nomgar, the Traveller for years, though he now finds roots starting to grow. First introduced to Dungeons & Dragons in the 5th grade he enjoys playing all types of games. After spending long hours modifying the rules to the many games he played and complaining about the quality of some of the products in the market he decided to help rectify the problem. Setting himself up as a freelance writer Geoff has written adventures and designed monsters that have been published by Atlas Games and Childen of the Grave Press. In addition he has written articles about new magical and alchemical items and about gaming in general and is a member of the Board Game Designers Forum. Working to bring Ados: Land of Strife to life has allowed Geoff the creative freedom to bring his own ideas to the gaming community.
