Anthropos Games is a small, indie partnership inhabiting Austin, Texas, and serving tabletop gamers all over the world. Our goal is to design and support a handful of role-playing games each with a unique mechanic, realistic societies and ecologies, and a progressive perspective on the human experience. We want to make games for creative, adult gamers who crave environments outside the typical European fantasy tropes and stock science-fiction genres; who look for games with smart tactics, room for a good story, and immersive worlds; and who want to be part of a new wave of tabletop role-playing games.   We realize our audience is not made up of the average adolescent consumer. But we don’t believe we’re talking about a small, niche market either. These games are for everyone. They just aspire to be something a little more than escapist daydreaming. They are fun for casual and hardcore gamers alike. They will keep you engaged for hours, months, and years. But they are sharp. They are edgy.
