Last Unicorn Games
Last Unicorn Games (or LUG) was a Pennsylvania based corporation with offices in Los Angeles, California. It was formed in 1994 by Christian Moore, Owen Seyler, Greg Ormand, and Bernie Cahill to publish the role playing game ''ARIA: Canticle of the Monomyth''. In the following years, the company published the collectable card games (CCG) '' Heresy: Kingdom Come'' (1995), and ''Dune'' (1997). Working with new employee Ross Isaacs, Moore and Seyler began the development of the "ICON" gaming system. This was a D6 dice based system where the player rolls a number of D6 equal to their attributes.
