Hansor Publishing is a publisher of tabletop RPG products.
Operated by Chris ‘Shep’ Shepperson, Hansor Publishing was set up in 2019, as a way to effectively publish a number of ‘vanity’ projects and titles. Based in Derbyshire, UK and born from the ashes of the short-lived ‘Half Wing Games’, Hansor Publishing has released a number of physical and digital products since it was founded and continues to work on future releases, starting with The Gaia Complex in 2021,
As of 2023, Hansor Publishing is also a studio for hire, utilising Shep’s wealth of project/line management experience to help other publishers bring RPGs to life without needing to have any of their own in-house resources for RPG production.
For any enquiries regarding Hansor Publishing or any of our titles, please use the contact page.
