Atlas Games
Atlas Games is a company which publishes role-playing games, board games and card games. Its founder and current president is John Nephew.
History
When Atlas Games did not have the finances to publish On the Edge (1994), they partnered with Jerry Corrick and Bob Brynildson and formed a new corporation called Trident, Inc. to publish the game.[1] Eventually Atlas subsumed into Trident; Brynildson, Corrick, and their store - The Source Comics & Games - continued to support Atlas with their business experience and perspective.[1]
The company published the periodical EdgeWork for four issues.[2]

gollark: I'm *guessing* your complaint is along the lines of "people need water → no trading of it allowed → commoditisation involves that" but I can only really guess.
gollark: Yes, but that means multiple things ish.
gollark: Are you complaining about water being sold for money, or about it being approximately the same anywhere?
gollark: Oh, apparently it means that AND saleable thing. Interesting. I guess both are fine for water.
gollark: "Commodity" just means "undifferentiated good" or something.
