Asymmetric Publications

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Asymmetric Publications is the company that is responsible for the popular web-based RPG Kingdom of Loathing. Currently it is run by Zack Johnson and Josh Nite (who are known as Jick and Mr. Skullhead, respectively, in the game). Employees of the company are known as the Asymmetric Team. As a result of the popularity of the game, Asymmetric currently supports Johnson, Nite, and five other individuals as full-time employees.^[1]

In the past, Asymmetric Publications hosted various games and other attractions, including Infinity Plus One, an online fortune teller; Bee On Drugs, a bee who talks about the most random things imaginable; and Krakrox the Barbarian, a game widely noted as the precursor to the popular Kingdom of Loathing.

Asymmetric Publications' website has not been updated since February 11, 2003, when it announces the opening of a "fun new game" which is, of course, The Kingdom of Loathing. Since then the Kingdom of Loathing has moved servers.
