Indie Press Revolution (also referred to as "IPR") is a sales network that acts as a fulfillment house and distributor for publishers of indie role-playing games. It offers games directly to the public and to game retailers. Justin Joyce for Polygon recommended it for its selection of games and efficient website.[1] Kristina Manente for Syfy called it a great resource to find indie tabletop role-playing games.[2]
It was founded in 2004 by Ed Cha of Open World Press and Brennan Taylor of Galileo Games.[citation needed] IPR represents over 100 author/publishers involved in role-playing games.
On June 17, 2010 DOJ, Inc. (which also owns Hero Games) announced that they have purchased a majority share of IPR. Brennan Taylor stepped down as President.[3] Jason Walters is now general manager, and much of IPR's energy is currently focused on expanding its convention presence, growing its retailer network, and attracting new publishers.[citation needed]
