In order to showcase how Omega Horizon is played, we assembled a team of experienced TTRPG players for a live play campaign leading up to the launch of the Omega Horizon Kickstarter Campaign (scheduled for August 1, 2021). The live play campaign will air every Sunday on the Paleo Gaming Twitch.tv page starting July 11, 2021 at 2pm EST (GMT-5) through August 1, 2021.

December 20, 2020- Paleo Gaming Server for “The Isle” Changed to an Evrima Branch Server
The server will henceforth be run for the Evrima branch of development for the game. The server rules have been modified based upon the current development level. As additional creatures are added to the game, things like herd/pack size may change.
October 10, 2020- Paleo Gaming Launches a Legacy Server for “The Isle”
Paleo Gaming has officially launched its first server for the dinosaur survival sim known as “The Isle”. This server is currently run using the “Legacy” branch of the game, though there are plans to change the server to the new “Evrima” branch in time. As of launch, the server has 30 players slots, with plans to expand the server size over time. This server is also a public server (unlike our Ark servers which are all password protected).
June 7, 2019- Paleo Gaming Becomes an Official Riot-Sanctioned League of Legends Tournament Provider, with a Path to Scouting Grounds
In June of 2019, Riot announced plans to incorporate semi-professional tournaments into the Scouting Grounds qualifier tournament, giving semi-professional teams a clear path to get in front of LCS teams scouts, coaches, and analysts. With this unprecedented opportunity, Paleo Gaming joined together with four other major tournament providers (Upsurge, Player One, Dark Star Gaming and FACEIT, the last of which provided the actual platform for this innovative tournament circuit) as official Riot-Sanctioned tournament providers. The details of this exciting development can be found in FACEIT’s official blog post here.
This represents a monumental step forward for Paleo Gaming’s Imperial Esports brand as a tournament provider, and provides an unprecedented clear path for teams to get in front of high level professional League of Legends organizations to potentially get scouted to these major teams. You can sign up for Paleo Gaming’s first qualifying tournament here.
June 6, 2019- Pride Month Announcement
Here at Paleo Gaming, we have always been proud supporters and allies of the LGBTQ+ community, and strive to provide a safe and inclusive environment within our community for all of our fellow gamers, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, race, religion, or any of the social constructs that would otherwise keep us separate. Our mutual love of gaming (video games, board games, card games, tabletop role-playing games, you name it!) unites us all into a single family.
This month is Pride Month, which for some is a time to celebrate how far the LGBTQ+ community has come, but for others represents a time of somber remembrance for how much was sacrificed to get here. It is important to us as a community to show our solidarity this month (and always) for our LGBTQ+ family and friends, and as such I wanted to share an excerpt from our upcoming TTRPG Omega Horizon which shows our commitment to standing strong as allies:
From the Section of character creation which covers “Genetic Modifications”:
…a character can also change their sex (male, female, etc.) using genetic modification. This procedure is surprisingly simple compared to splicing genetic material across species. Therefore, a character can change their sex without needing to pay a CP cost, and this modification does not take up a “slot” in the number of modifications allowed. When a character has their sex changed, the remainder of the genome is left intact (ie- traits for eye color, hair color, height, etc.) and security software in the future does not use sex as a targeting factor in identifying individuals- looking instead for markers in the iris of the eye, hair color, height, body type, etc. It should also be noted that regardless of the legality of more controversial genetic modifications (cross-species splicing), all of the factions presented within this book allow for legal sex-alteration gene therapy. It isn’t thought of as controversial at all, but is rather viewed as largely unimportant from a social and political standpoint.
That’s right, folks. Even in our dystopian futuristic society everyone recognizes trans rights. We’ll keep fighting until that happens here, too.
Trans rights are human rights.
Happy Pride Month, from our family to yours.

February 22, 2019- Paleo Gaming Officially Reveals Tabletop RPG “Omega Horizon”
It has been one full year since we first announced our decision to begin developing a Tabletop RPG. Today, we are pleased to announce the title of our upcoming RPG: Omega Horizon (TM). We have added a dedicated page for our Omega Horizon product line in development to the Paleo Gaming Website, along with a very brief (currently vague) description of the game. More details will be released over time, especially as we get closer to the planned Kickstarter campaign for the game, which is scheduled to launch in the latter half of 2019.
In the meantime, we are continuing to develop the game, play-test the rules system, and have a team of professional artists (whose previous works include illustrations for major game production companies including Fantasy Flight Games, Wizards of the Coast, etc.) working on both concept level and finished art for the Core Rulebook. We hope that you will follow the development of the game closely, and will join us in a journey deep into the universe of Omega Horizon.
February 22, 2018- Paleo Gaming Announces Early Development of Our First Original Tabletop RPG
Here at Paleo Gaming we love Esports, but we also have a passion for Tabletop RPGs of all types, from classics like Dungeons and Dragons, to newer releases in the U.S. like Trudvang Chronicles, and more. That passion has led us to a monumental decision- to create a branch within the company devoted to developing Tabletop RPGs of our own for mass distribution! We are in the very early stages of development, and can't share much info at this stage (not even a title!) until we get the copyrights moving, but what we can say is this: the game will feature a new and original science fiction setting, along with a new and unique mechanics system we are building from the ground up.
It is our intention to use Kick Starter to fund the production of the Core Rulebook (with a number of stretch goals already in mind) in Q1 2019. Stay tuned for more information, concept art teasers, etc. as we continue through 2018 and get closer to launching the KS Campaign. We hope you are all as excited as we are!
February 3, 2018- Paleo Gaming Interviews the Creators of New Tabletop RPG "Sagas of Midgard"
The second article in our new Tabletop RPG review series is an interview with the creators of the upcoming new tabletop RPG "Sagas of Midgard". Nick Porter and Dominic De Duonni, the co-creators of the game, discuss the finer points of what it means to play a "cinematic" story-driven game, versus a rules-heavy RPG, and discuss what makes their upcoming title so unique. The Kickstarter campaign is already live, and the game reached its funding goal within the first 90 minutes of the campaign's launch, already having reached roughly three times the funding goal, with most of the month still remaining on the Kickstarter campaign.
Sagas of Midgard is described as "a new cinematic, story-oriented tabletop RPG based in a world of Norse Myth [...] a system that keeps numbers simple and instead lets the players' imagination be the hero.”

November 30, 2017- Paleo Gaming Interviews Riotminds Regarding the Upcoming English Release of Tabletop RPG "Trudvang Chronicles"
The president of Paleo Gaming, Dan Prisco-Buxbaum, recently sat down to interview Theo Bergquist, one of the founders of the Swedish-based company Riotminds, regarding the widely anticipated release of their tabletop role-playing game Trudvang Chronicles which was recently translated to English (and several other languages) following a massively successful Kickstarter campaign which surpassed its fundraising goal of 300,000 SEK by several orders of magnitude (bringing in nine times the target amount at over 2.7 million SEK).
Riotminds describes Trudvang as “an award-winning fantasy roleplaying game based on the mysterious and dark Nordic and Celtic sagas and myths. Enter a world of enchanted forests, trolls, dragons, spirits of nature, heroes and adventures. Trudvang is both grim and dark, epic and yet down to earth, with a melancholic tone of an ancient age when nature was a living creature and magic was wild and strong. Above all, Trudvang is a saga…”

September 21, 2017- Paleo Gaming Fields Paleo Black As Its First "Rocket League" Team
We are pleased to announce that Paleo Gaming will be fielding its first Rocket League team under the banner of Paleo Black. In addition to fielding a competitive team of Challenger 3+ players, Paleo Gaming will be exploring the opportunity to host Rocket League events under our Imperial Esports branch. Given the rapid growth of the competitive Rocket League scene, we are excited to finally get involved with this exciting competitive franchise.
July 18, 2017- Cancellation Announcement for Ward Esports "Local Legends II"
This week I had a long discussion with Gian and Jose Lincuna, the owners of Ward Esports, regarding the decision to change the tournament from a LAN event to an online only event, followed by a drastic reduction of the prize pool. As a result of this discussion, they arrived at the conclusion that due to changing circumstances, the best course of action with regards to "Local Legends 2" was to scrap the tournament, and refund all the teams involved (see their statement here). As the owner of a company which hosts events, I know how difficult that pill can be to swallow. Marketing the event costs money, along with other overhead costs that you can't recoup. Plus, it creates a black mark in the public consciousness that may set you back with future events. For all these reasons, most organizations choose (often at their own peril) to stay the course, and end up putting on a lackluster event that disappoints most people involved, and leaves an even longer lasting impression of failure.
Ward Esports did not make that mistake. When faced with an event that had failed, they owned the failure. They fully refunded the teams' registration fees, and issued an apology for misjudging the scope of the event they wanted to host; an event not only designed to benefit their company, but the amateur/semi-pro Esports scene as a whole. As the owner of one of the teams that had hoped to compete (Paleo Tundra) I can comfortably say I would participate in a Ward Esports event in the future. It takes strength of character to admit when you have faltered, and to pick yourself up and answer for that failure, and learn from your mistakes. In addition, Ward Esports has committed to open up more dialogue with team owners like myself to learn more about their craft- finding out what matters most to teams, and how to provide it in a way that generates the least amount of risk and maximizes potential profit for all parties involved. I am excited to see where their journey takes them next, and so long as the owners of Ward Esports retain their sense of integrity while running their company as they have been, I will always try and include our team(s) in their events in the future. A friend once told me "If you must fail, may you fail gracefully." Here's to failing gracefully, Ward Esports. We are glad to call you friends.

June 15, 2017- New ARK: Survival Evolved Server Featuring Free DLC "Ragnarok"
Unfortunately, the Center Map server operated by Paleo Gaming was erroneously deleted, and as a result, the dinosaurs and goods from this server cannot be migrated to our other server(s) in the Paleo Gaming Cluster. However, we have decided to take this opportunity to launch a new server within the Paleo Gaming Cluster which features the widely anticipated "ARK: Ragnarok" map and free DLC recently added to the game. We apologize for any inconvenience the loss of the Center Map server may have caused to our player base, and we will be working with players on an individual basis to try and replace some of what they lost on this new server. In the meantime, we anticipate that this new server will bring even more participation from the community, and we look forward to exploring this new, expansive (largest to date) world with you all.
June 5, 2017- Franchising and You; What Riot's Decision to Move Away from Auto Relegation Means for the Amateur and Semi-Professional League of Legends Scene
We haven't been keeping on top of our news updates recently, but rest assured we are hard at work shaping the future of Paleo Gaming and looking to see how we can help shape eSports in the coming months and years. In fact, part of why we haven't been posting updates recently is because of how busy we have been exploring our upcoming developments, and we are planning some big moves, so stay tuned! In the meantime, our president wanted to share his thoughts on Riot's recent announcement that the LCS (the top professional level of League of Legends) would be moving from an auto-relegation format to a franchising system. The short version- we are going to be seeing the same teams in the LCS year after year, and new teams will almost never be introduced. But what does it mean for everyone else? Here's what Praetor had to say about it:
"We have known for some time now that [Riot] was doing this. It honestly makes a lot of sense from a business standpoint, and I think it will actually bring major improvements to the LCS because the companies fielding these teams will feel much more comfortable investing in both their teams and the League, and frankly eSports in general. I also know that some people, particularly players in the diamond-master range, are discouraged by this move because they had dreams of qualifying for the NACS and fighting their way into the LCS, and I appreciate their frustration. However, this isn't a terrible thing for us. In fact, it's going to help out the amateur, semi-professional, and smaller professional organizations and companies in a big way. I have been urging my fellow team owners for the past few years to invest more in developing "our level" of the competitive scene, and focusing on marrying the semi-pro and collegiate level. That's finally starting to happen, especially in the wake of the franchising decision by Riot. I believe we [Paleo Gaming, and its subsidiary Imperial Esports] are positioned to help lead that movement, to make semi-professional League of Legends, and other eSports, sustainable not only as a stand-alone marketplace, but also as a potential scouting pool for the LCS teams as time goes on. This may seem a little daunting to some, but to me it presents and exciting opportunity, and I think it's a great time to be a part of the rapidly growing eSports industry."

January 19, 2017- Paleo Gaming Inc. Appoints First Official General Manager
Paleo Gaming Inc. celebrated its first official year in business this past November, and in the year since incorporating we have seen many profound changes. In the past 12+ months we went from extremely humble beginnings to becoming one of the largest and most recognizable organizations in the semi-professional League of Legends scene.
In June, with the acquisition of Imperial Esports, we also took on the role of becoming one of the most respected and stable semi-professional tournament circuits within the League of Legends community. To date, Imperial Esports has paid out more than $5,000 in prize money to various semi-professional League of Legends teams that have competed in the events, and provided these teams with exposure and opportunities they would not have otherwise received.
It would be remiss if we did not mention the loyalty of our fans and community members, and the dedication and perseverance of our staff which helped make all of the success we achieved within the last possible. Among those individuals there was one in particular who volunteered countless hours, and worked tirelessly to help improve the Imperial Esports events through a transition period wrought with pitfalls, and continued to work to improve the events the following season. That individual is the General Manager of the Imperial Esports division of Paleo Gaming Inc.; AJ Rombach (known by the esports community as "Shuffledybot"). He still works continuously, alongside other Paleo Gaming and Imperial Esports staff to innovate new improvements to the events, to keep the rulebook relevant and fair, to handle any and all disputes among teams, and to try and ensure that the events remain profitable so that we can continue to provide the opportunities that so many semi-professional teams have enjoyed this past year while pursuing their dreams of becoming professional esports athletes.
As Season 4 officially comes to a close for Imperial Esports, and Paleo Gaming turns its eyes to this new year, full of opportunity, we are making the necessary changes that will allow us to best utilize our dedicated and talented staff. The first, and perhaps most significant, change that is being made is the appointment of Paleo Gaming's first General Manager: AJ Rombach. With the explosive growth Paleo Gaming has seen this past year, it has simply become too much for me to manage alone, and with AJ's assistance I feel confident that 2017 will hold amazing opportunities for expansion for the company.
What does all this mean? Well, AJ will be "in the trenches" with the various team and division managers within Paleo Gaming, freeing me up to focus more exclusively on growing the brand, and dealing with high level administrative requirements. While I will be plotting the course for the company, AJ will be steering the ship. He will be empowered to make decisions regarding day-to-day operations within the company which will, in many cases, mean faster response times for team managers and the like. I will, of course, remain available as much as possible to serve the community and company in whatever ways I am needed, but AJ will now be able to handle many of the small issues that inevitably arise during the daily operation of a community our size.
This also means that a new General Manager will be selected for the Imperial Esports division of Paleo Gaming Inc. That announcement should come soon.
In the meantime, I would like to congratulate AJ on his well deserved promotion. I look forward to working with him even more closely throughout 2017 and beyond. I look forward to announcing (soon) the plans for Season 5 of the Imperial Esports League of Legends tournament circuit, as well as planned expansions for the Imperial Esports brand. I also look forward to dedicating time and effort to fully launch Paleo Gaming Inc.'s new Esports Life brand as the year progresses. Last year, frankly, we kicked ass. This year we are going to do even better. Buckle up 2017, Paleo Gaming is on the rise.

November 12, 2016- Paleo Gaming Announces Launch of "Esports Life" Line of Merchandise
Paleo Gaming has now launched a new branded merchandise line aimed at celebrating Esports- specifically at the Amateur and Semi-Professional level. The teams that dedicate so much time and effort at this level are too often overlooked due to lack of exposure and/or funding required to advertise and produce a line of merchandise for their own brands. As a result, Paleo Gaming is partnering with a number of other organizations to bring this unique product line to fans of the Amateur and Semi-Professional Esports scene. Esports Life merchandise will be available immediately in the Paleo Shop, starting with Imperial Esports branded T-shirts, and we will be adding team merchandise for other organizations as we head into the Holiday 2016 Season and beyond.

Imperial Esports will operate as an independent division within Paleo Gaming, so we can expect the same organization and consistent operation of the events we have seen previously.

As with all of our other teams, the logos/mascots are being designed in keeping with the theme of each teams "hashtags" (in this case, Paleo Pride's hashtag is #PackHunters which is why the choice was made to go with a pack (or pride) of hunting raptors, set against a jungle backdrop). It is also worth noting that with the development of individual team logos, additional team merchandise will be arriving in the Paleo Shop soon!
May 11, 2016- Paleo Black Logo Altered
Paleo Gaming has had the logo for Paleo Black altered due to reports of contrast issues with the purple background. The new, light gray background and lettering should provide better contrast.

With this official sponsorship comes many opportunities for Paleo Gaming, the first of which will be the production of official team uniforms for Paleo Tundra, Paleo White, and Paleo Green, and potential tournament opportunities that would not be possible without the patronage of Cherp. We look forward to working with the team over at Cherp to bring exciting prize giveaways to upcoming live stream events, and to share their great new app with our members!
February 8, 2016- Paleo Gaming Announces Charity In-House Tournament
With the Super Nova eSports "League Amateur Series" (LAS) Tournament Series coming up, Paleo Gaming has decided to hold an in-house tournament between Paleo Tundra, Paleo White, and Paleo Green to determine which team will be submitted for the tournament series. We have decided that this tournament also poses an opportunity to lend a hand to some members of our community who are struggling with unfortunate circumstances that have fallen upon their family. Throughout the live stream of the tournament we will be directing people to the donation page to help their family out. The page can be found here. Any donation helps, even a small amount such as $5 can go a long way if we all pitch in. The online gaming community is an exceptionally generous and tight-knit community. This family has gamers spanning multiple generations and Paleo Gaming has already made a donation to help support their cause. Check the upcoming events page for more details on the tournament!

Paleo Gaming is proud to announce the addition of a new competitive eSports team Paleo Tundra.

To assist in reaching these goals, Paleo Tundra has been assigned a dedicated coach and analyst.
Super Nova COO Tyler Combs had this to say of the team’s transition to Paleo Gaming: “We are happy to have known the original roster of Super Nova Orion, and have nothing but great thanks for the things as a team they helped us achieve. Now moving over to their new chapter with Paleo, we hope they can give them the same kind of movement towards the amateur scene.”
