History
Nightfall Games was founded by Dave Allsop, Anne Boylan and Jared Earle in April 1993 in Glasgow, Scotland. In September 1993, Nightfall released their role-playing game SLA Industries. After releasing their first sourcebook Karma in 1994, Nightfall was purchased by Wizards of the Coast (WotC).{{cite web | url=http://www.rpg.net/columns/briefhistory/briefhistory1.phtml | title=Wizards of the Coast: 1990–Present | accessdate = 1 September 2006 | last=Appelcline | first=Shannon | date=3 August 2006 | work=A Brief History of Game | publisher=RPGnet}} Nightfall was started up again in 1998 by Allsop, Earle and Tim Dedopulos after regaining the rights to SLA Industries from WotC.
