RedBrick Limited was a New Zealand game company that produced role-playing games and game supplements.

History

In 2005, FASA Corp granted RedBrick Limited a license for Earthdawn based on a very professional proposal they submitted.[1]: 127  RedBrick named their line "EarthDawn Classic" to differentiate it from Living Room Games' edition and to show that they were staying closer to the art styles and setting of the original FASA line than Living Room Games had.[1]: 127  RedBrick's line kicked off with the Earthdawn Player's Companion (2005).[1]: 127  In 2005 and 2006, Earthdawn had two companies simultaneously publishing "official" material - but RedBrick was soon the only publisher of the game.[1]: 127  In 2007, Holistic Design licensed Fading Suns to RedBrick Limited.[1]: 324  RedBrick promised new supplements using the original Victory Point System, plus the eventual release of the third edition of the game, and began with a few PDF adventures published in 2007.[1]: 324  RedBrick published their classic edition of Earthdawn through 2009, then published a third edition (2009) which they distributed through the Flaming Cobra program at Mongoose Publishing.[1]: 127  RedBrick Limited – who had published on their own for years – brought all of their publications to Mongoose, beginning with their third edition release of the classic Earthdawn game (2009).[1]: 400
