The Design Mechanism

The Design Mechanism is run by Lawrence Whitaker and Pete Nash, the writing team behind many great RuneQuest and Eternal Champion roleplaying games and supplements. They formed the Design Mechanism in 2011 to produce a new range of games and supplements, entering into partnerships with, amongst others, Moon Design Publishing and Issaries Inc. The Design Mechanism is, first and foremost, a design house, working on rules, background and settings, and then plugging into the resources of its strategic partners to bring its work to the gaming public.
