Ironwood Omnimedia Company (IOC) is a multimedia company whose stated mission is to "connect artists with diverse audiences through innovative, creative and broad avenues." Their first major project involves creating and publishing role-playing games for the E-RPG System, a generic role-playing game system designed by one of its founders. It was founded in 2006 by Willie Santana & Ruel Knudson.

[edit] History

After 8 years of developing the Saga Series Ruel Knudson (US) enlisted the help of former soldier and old friend Willie Santana. During an interview with RPGBlog Mr. Santana said; “I had only minimal participation in the design of the core rules, as I was away in the military much of the time when the game was developed.” That leads to the conclusion that IOC’s creation, as a multimedia company instead of a gaming company is Mr. Santana’s doing.

IOC’s free release of the core E-RPG System Fantasy Rules (the Fantasy Sagas and the Game Master Lodestar) was met with resounding support by the role-playing community receiving a combined 1000 downloads in its first week.

IOC is currently in the late development stages of the Modern and Sci-Fi Sagas*, the two other components of the E-RPG core rules as well as a myriad of other projects; a glimpse at IOC’s official website one can see a virtual library of upcoming products.

*It should be noted that, according to reports, IOC's Fantasy, Modern, and Sci-Fi Sagas are unique in the feature that they are interchangeable. Once all three genres are released, it should be seemless for a GM using the GameMaster Lodestar to incorporate features from any or all three of the other Genre Sagas.

The company is also planning to release Digital Pen & Paper (DPnP), touted as “the next revolution of Pen and Paper Role Playing games” and “logical evolution for traditional gamers” this ambiguous project promises to marry “the concepts of online gaming platforms with the art of table top role playing” according to IOC’s website.
