Mongoose Publishing
Mongoose Publishing is an English publishing house that specializes in role-playing games and all the accessories they need.
history
The publisher was founded in 2001 in the wake of the d20 system boom, which had arisen some time ago as a result of the great popularity of D&D 3rd Edition .
His books on the subject soon became the best-selling of the genre.
After the initial success, the publisher consolidated its business and began to fight for market share with sometimes aggressive tactics and processes for the rights to sell individual parts from the product line. He acquired the rights to several comic series and took over the publication of the role-playing game magazine Signs and Portents in 2003 and the rights to the role-playing game Conan in 2004 . The following year, Signs and Portents was converted into an online magazine, which increased its popularity enormously (around 50,000 downloads per month), and brought a number of its own role-playing games onto the market.
The name is derived from Operation Mongoose , with which America wanted to take action against Castro and which basically (like many military plans) contains everything that fantasy role-playing games make up.
