Demagogue Press
Based in the Pacific Northwest, Demagogue Press is where games and books collide and coexist in harmonious synergy. Literary, non-fiction, poetry, horror, fantasy, sci-fi, genre-blend, and genre-free are all welcome in our world of boardgames, magazine gaming, and storytelling.
Mission
To curate and publish spectacular games and books. Anything from the tried-and-true classics to fresh, new voices or experimental concepts are fair game in our realm of tabletop, card, magazine gaming, storytelling, and the Venn diagrams between them.
