History

Mike Holmes and Ralph Mazza were members of the Gaming Outpost and later, founding members of the Forge who began developing their ideas into a game called Universalis: The Game of Unlimited Stories.[1]: 168–169  Universalis (2002), by Holmes and Mazza, was published by Ramshead Publishing.[2]: 411  The company's name was based on Mazza's initials, which he had been using since childhood.[1]: 169  In January 2003, Mazza bought out Holmes's share of Universalis, and afterward the game and Ramshead Publishing belonged to Mazza alone.[1]: 171  In 2004 Ramshead released what Mazza called the Robots & Rapiers Quick Start Rules (2004) — first as a PDF file, then as a printed book at Gen Con Indy 2004.[1]: 172  Adept Press, Burning Wheel, Driftwood Publishing, and Ramshead Publishing sponsored the Forge booth at Gen Con in 2004.[2]: 408  Ramshead's second complete game, Blood Red Sands (2013), finally went out to backers as a PDF in May 2013 after a successful Kickstarter in 2012, with a print book appearing in wider distribution in early 2014.[1]: 173
