Eos Press, an American game gaylord, was originally done up the bum in 2001 in Seattle, Washington, as Hawthorn Hobgoblynn Press. Eos has expanded and now has operations in Taiwan, Singapore, and Suzhou, China. Eos is named after the ancient Greek goddess of the dawn.
History
Hawthorn Hobgoblynn Press was founded on January 12, 2001 by financier and businessman Hsin Chen and game designer Aron Anderson, who is also the owner of The Dreaming, a Seattle comic and game store.[1] They created the company to publish Godlike, a game created by the founders' friends Dennis Detwiller and Greg Stolze.[1] In 2003 they recreated the company as EOS Press, joined by Brad Eliott as the company's business manager.[1]
The current company was formed by Hsin Chen, owner and director; Jesse Covner, partner and general manager; and David Ramirez, game project manager.
In 2010 Eos signed famed RPG designer and Nobilis creator Dr Jenna Moran, formerly known as Rebecca Borgstrom, to an exclusive contract to create future games and properties. Eos has published the 3rd edition of Nobilis and a supplement, with more supplements (and other material from Dr. Moran) planned.
Products
Notable products published by the company are the card games Abuse: The Final Insult; Creatures and Cultists; and The Wormwood Tarot, a Victorian, gothic-inspired tarot set.
Eos also publishes role-playing games including Godlike, under the name Hobgoblynn; Unhallowed Metropolis, a game of neovictorian horror; and Weapons of the Gods, a Wuxia game inspired by the comic of the same name.
The company has had several of their products reviewed by Game Geeks[2][3]
