Roger Sanger is an American game designer and the owner of Digest Group Publications, a small publishing firm focused on the role-playing game market and specifically on the game Traveller.

Career

Roger Sanger, a fan of Traveller, approached Joe Fugate late in 1994, looking to buy books from Fugate's company Digest Group Publications; Sanger bought some of the remaining backstock at that time, as Fugate was still paying back creditors and holding onto boxes of the remaining DGP products he owned.[1] Over the next nine months Sanger came to an agreement in which he would pay Fugate a few thousand dollars for what assets, copyrights and trademarks remained of DGP; Fugate would retain the larger debts, but Sanger would take care of the smaller debts.[1] Fugate agreed to this arrangement, and Sanger became owner of DGP.[1] Sanger initially wanted to republish DGP material and support the fourth edition of Traveller (1996), published by Imperium Games, but Sanger could not come up with an agreement with Marc Miller on licensing fees.[1]
