About Everyman Gaming, LLC


Everyman Gaming began as the blog of Alexander Augunas in January 2014, where
he wrote about Pathfinder Roleplaying Game tips, tricks, and techniques for both
players and GMs. In May of 2014, Alex began talks with the Know Direction Network
about bringing his blog to their site under the name Guidance. At the same time, Alex
transformed Everyman Gaming into the company it is today so he could begin self-
publishing his works. In 2016, he teamed up with Rogue Genius Games to release
Ultimate Occult and has remained with them since.
