Midkemia Press

Today it exists as a rights holder for its principal campaign setting, the land of Midkemia.

[1] In 1975 La Motte shared a copy of the new fantasy role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons with the other wargamers, and while it was well-received, La Motte thought a campaign setting was needed and soon produced The Tome of Mid-Kimia, a small booklet that defined the "Land of Darkening Shadows", described some adventures, and copied some tables from the original D&D rules.

As part of the on-going campaign, La Motte and Everson created a complete city for play, and other gamers in the group followed suit.

Artwork was provided by Mary Coman, Richard Spahl, April Apperson and Raymond Feist, and they were all brought into the company as partners.

[1] To present day, Midkemia remains in business, and sells PDF copies of their works via their website.
