  • The company got its start as the game design studio of what was then IANUS Publications, a Canadian publisher of anime-related magazines (Mecha Press, Protoculture Addicts). The team took care of the gaming sections of the magazines. They started publishing games on their own, releasing licensed Cyberpunk 2020 supplements and two Mekton books in the early 1990s. The group split off in 1994 to become DP9. The company had a rise to fame in the mid and late 1990, fueled by the purported quality and depth of their books. It suffered from the general depression of the game industry after 9/11. Since 2004, the company has put an increased emphasis on wargames and has recently released the Heavy Gear Blitz! miniature game, both actions have done a great deal to counteract the problems encountered after the market downturn. While the company has not published RPG books recently, they have repeatedly stated they will continue to support the SilCORE system and the game lines and have also noted they will publish new books once the company can branch out again.
