History

In early 1996, Chris Pramas secured the rights to The Whispering Vault from Mike Nystul as he was leaving the game industry, and together with his brother Jason Pramas and their friend Neal Darcy, the three of them founded the company Ronin Publishing. This initial company published two role playing game supplements, The Book of Hunts (1997) for The Whispering Vault and Blood of the Valiant for Feng Shui. Ronin Publishing came to an end when Chris Pramas went to work for Wizards of the Coast in 1998.[2]: 369 

Pramas founded Green Ronin Publishing with his wife

Ork!, laid out by Nicole Lindroos, and the Mutants & Masterminds game line, handled by the Super Unicorn
design studio, were notable exceptions.)

On May 12, 2010, Green Ronin Publishing announced a third edition of the superhero role-playing game Mutants & Masterminds would debut in the fall.[3] This announcement came just nine days after the publisher announced that it would debut a new DC Adventures game in August, based upon Mutants & Masterminds.[4] According to Green Ronin President Chris Pramas, the two new games will "share a common ruleset."[3]

In 2013, Green Ronin Publishing used crowdfunding platform Kickstarter to redesign and enlarge the Freeport campaign setting for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game.[5]
