The Gamers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This is an article about a wargaming company; for the cult film, see The Gamers (film).
The Gamers was a wargaming company founded and run by Dean Essig in Homer, Illinois. Their distinction was the focus on a few series, with special rules for each individual game. This made it easier to play new games within a series that was well known to the players. Homercon, a convention for The Gamers games is held each September in Homer, IL. This company was bought out by Multi-Man Publishing in 2001.
