Changing of the Guard

[Cleveland, OH] Rusttown Press, LLC announces the acquisition of intellectual properties of Seraphim Guard. This includes the Seraphim Guard name, HeartQuest name and properties, various rules systems, and the "Plain Wrap" line of accessories for RuneQuest.

Ownership of Gatecrasher Science Fantasy Adventure reverts to Richard Gazley, and is not a part of the acquisition.

"We are excited about acquiring the properties of Seraphim Guard, and particularly the HeartQuest franchise," said Rusttown Press Creative Director Christopher Helton. "This is a great line, with great potential, and will remain an important cornerstone of Seraphim Guard. We have great plans for Seraphim Guard including expanding the Fudge System properties by developing a robust new ruleset that will power the HeartQuest line and most of our upcoming releases.Currently we are working on a new game entitled 'Bloodlines: Adventure Role-Playing' and expanding our Plain Wrap line into D20 products."

"I'm happy to see the Seraphim Guard properties move to Rusttown Press," said Tim Huntley, former proprietor of Seraphim Guard. "Since purchasing Seraphim Guard myself, my only concern has been insuring the properties continue to get better. Rusttown Press will take them to the next level."
