Hubris Games was a publisher of traditional printed role-playing games based in San Francisco from 1996 to 2000. They were pioneers in the advent of story-based role-playing games.[2] with a strong presence at game conventions including Gen Con and Origins Game Fair.
The main game setting was Maelstrom Storytelling,[3] written by Christian Aldridge and Seth Lindberg. Supporting titles included Tales from the Empire, Dacartha Prime, and the Book of Gray. The universal version of the rules was published as Story Engine.[4] Hubris Games was also the original publisher of the popular beer & pretzels RPG Kobolds_Ate_My_Baby!. Maelstrom Storytelling and Story Engine are currently published by Precis Intermedia Gaming.
