Phoenix Games

Phoenix Games was an American game company that produced role-playing games and game supplements.

History

Kerry Lloyd got his first book, a "generic fantasy" adventure called The Mines of Keridav (1979), published through Maryland game company Phoenix Games.[1]:129 Phoenix Games disappeared before the sequel, The Demon Pits of Caeldo, could be published, so Lloyd decided to start his own gaming company, Gamelords.[1]:129

The role-playing game Bushido was published by Phoenix Games in 1980; Phoenix Games was also getting ready to publish Paul Hume and Bob Charrette's Aftermath! (1981), but as the company went defunct, Fantasy Games Unlimited reprinted Bushido in 1981, and stickered their logo over the Phoenix Games logo on the Aftermath! boxes.[1]:74

Dana Lombardy's Streets of Stalingrad by Phoenix Games won the 1980 Charles S. Roberts Award for Best Initial Release Wargame.[2]
