About
Back in 2020, I kicked off Games Omnivorous with a pretty wild idea: what if roleplaying games could be more than just games? What if they could cross over into art, music, even literature? That’s why you saw us pressing RPG settings onto vinyl records or putting out collections inspired by art manifestos. It was never about gimmicks — it was about proving that games can be powerful, strange, and beautiful all at once. The kind of stuff that makes people stop and go, “Wait, what?”
Turns out, that gamble paid off. We became the only indie publisher in the world to snag an ENNIE nomination five years in a row (2021–2025). Not bad for a little studio tucked away in a far corner of Europe.
Since 2025, Games Omnivorous has shifted into being a full-on game design studio. These days, I only work on projects I’m creating or co-creating. We’re no longer publishing other people’s work — now it’s about designing our own games and teaming up with established publishers to get them into stores and onto tables worldwide. The vibe hasn’t changed, though: elegant, minimalist, low-prep games that hit hard. Fast to run, easy to pick up, and built to look damn good while you’re playing.
Right now, the new studio is partnering with publishers like Exalted Funeral and Fria Ligan, making sure our games reach players everywhere while still pushing the envelope of what RPGs can be. For me, these games have never just been entertainment. They’re a medium for expression, for art, for creating moments that stick with you long after the dice stop rolling.
