Pacesetter Ltd

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pacesetter Ltd was a game company based in Delavan, Wisconsin, founded in 1984. Company founders included CEO John Rickets, and Mark Acres, Andria Hayday, Gaye Goldsberry O'Keefe, Gali Sanchez, Garry Spiegle, Carl Smith, Stephen D. Sullivan and Michael Williams.[1]:197 Pacesetter produced both tabletop role-playing games and board games.

Chill was possibly Pacesetter's most well-known product.[2] It was subsequently republished in revised form by Mayfair Games after Pacesetter's demise. Chill is currently licensed from Mayfair Games by Martin Caron. Star Ace is currently owned by Phillip Reed and Christopher Shy of Ronin Arts. Timemaster and Sandman are currently owned by Daniel Proctor of Goblinoid Games (publisher of Labyrinth Lord, among other games). Goblinoid Games also purchased the copyrights and trademarks to the Pacesetter brand and logo, thus reviving the brand and folding it into their product lines.[3]
