Living Room Games was an American game company, active between 2000 and 2006, that produced role-playing games, game supplements and books, particularly for the Earthdawn series.

Description

Living Room Games were a group of Earthdawn fans, friends, and gamers who took the news of Earthdawn being canceled harder than most.[citation needed] They licensed the game from FASA Corp in 2000, and produced of a second edition of the game in 2001, culminating in a revised second edition release in 2005.[1] Meanwhile, FASA also granted RedBrick a parallel license for Earthdawn, and RedBrick at first called their line "EarthDawn Classic" to differentiate it from Living Room Games' edition and to indicate that they were staying closer to the art styles and setting of the original FASA line than Living Room Games had.[1]

Living Room Games also published Digital Burn, Tony Digerolamo's Complete Mafia for D20, and Capcom World Tournament. The Capcom World Tournament was canceled in 2006,[2] and no further items were produced after that year. The company, now called "Living Room Games Online", uses its name to focus primarily on online slots and casinos.[3]
