Midgar Press is an independent tabletop RPG publisher based in Louisville, Kentucky, owned by founder Jonathon Myhre and co-owner Bill Henderson. We publish adventures and supplements for Dragonbane, Shadowdark, DarkSpace, Death in Space, and Candela Obscura.
Both of us run games as well as write them, and much of what we make comes from those sessions. Alongside the published catalog, we’re developing Rawhide, our own frontier western roleplaying game.

Our policy on AI and the creative work we publish.
We use AI for administrative and organizational tasks at Midgar Press, including scheduling, organizing feedback, drafting internal emails and announcements, and maintaining internal documentation. We also use it to organize research that a person then fact-checks, and to help with proofreading, layout checklists, and accessibility checks.
Our policy keeps AI out of adventure writing, story structure, flavor copy, NPC voices, dialogue, and lore. We do not use it to create artwork, illustrations, maps, or other visual elements in our products, or to decide what a product should be or feel like. Those decisions belong to the people making the work.
Artists, writers, cartographers, and designers put substantial work into the books we publish. We want the people buying those books to understand how they were made and who contributed to them. If you have a question about a particular product or its credits, we’re happy to discuss it.
