Welcome to SilverMeet! This is (and has for some time been) the greeting for all of those who come to our house regularly to game. At some point, we got organized enough and regular enough to come up with a name for the gathering, and that's what came up and stuck. One of the key folks in the group, Sean Patrick Fannon, is a long-time veteran in the games industry, so every gathering became not only a chance to play RPGs and other games, but to learn more and more about the business of gaming. Would-be authors, designers, artists, editors and the like all have become fascinated with the idea of working on projects together. They want to bring their visions to life. Fortunately, Sean's role and his knowledge open the door to some advanced thinking on how to start up a design and publishing studio; ways to make the business work with a great deal of talent and work, but not a lot of starting capital. Others, too, bring copious experience and gifts to the table: Carinn Seabolt's exceptional attention to detail and her love of the English language; Betty Morgan's mastery of financial planning and her adoration of writing in all genres, but especially fantasy; Simon Lucas' extensive experience in game publishing, and his inroads with the electronic market; Tommy Geddings' love of RPGs and his exceptional grasp of legal and business matters; Joey Morgan's technical design gifts and passion for the arts; and Albert Deschesne's decades of highly-respected work as an artist and graphic designer in both comics and games. This is the heart of SilverMeet Studios. Add to this core of people the extensive network of gaming fans, writers, designers, artists, editors, layout experts, programmers, media specialists, actors, musicians, and many others that are all connected to SilverMeet, and you will begin to sense the enormity of what is possible. SilverMeet Studios is designed to be a 21st Century Media Development company. Our roots are in RPGs and fiction, but we see what's possible via the global media network, and we embrace the change that is necessary to master this new era. Combining traditional publication with cutting-edge media delivery and business models, you will see a new kind of studio develop right before your eyes. Stay tuned-- it's going to get very exciting around here in a hurry! |
