 Founded in the summer of 1975 in Jericho, New York by Scott Bizar, the company's first publications were the wargames "Gladiators" and "Royal Armies of the Hyborean Age".Upon the sudden appearance and massive popularity of "Dungeons & Dragons" from TSR, the company turned its attentions to role-playing games, seeking out and producing systems created by amateurs and freelancers.Rather than focusing on any one line and supporting it with subsequent supplements, FGU produced a continuous stream of new games.
