New names

Brian started out by publishing Dungeons and Dragons zines with the help of Edinburgh-based risograph print shop, Out Of the Blueprint.

Dungeons on a Dime is a fine name, but it's reference to D&D chafed as Brian moved into independent publishing and writing his own gamebooks. In 2022 the switch was made to Stout Stoat Press, and the rest is history.
