Disobey: Behind the Wordflay

Disobey didn't spring from nothing... its been around for many, many years, whether in our head, our previous ventures, or whispers of electronic paper sifting through the POTS into a musty iniquity BBS. Herein, we'll wax poetic about the past. Dry your eyes, dearest reader: there be no sadness or regrets.

Early History

In 1989, we were called Evil Ey Games. The "Ey" was an error made during typing, and was found later during an edit. For some reason, the spelling stuck (hey, we were young - we thought it was hip and cool to spell things all uber-like). At the time, we created role playing games... from a world of oversexed creations (Crossbreed and Crossbreed 15k), to a world so realistic that we wanted the characters to be mirror images of the player... their death meant actual player death (called Tabernacle, it was around this time there was that big D&D sewer scare - probably the chief "ha!" contributor to this idea).

After working out some ideas, we published "Se Mag". Intended to be the ultimate resource on gaming (thus the name - though some didn't realize it was "games" backwards), the first issue was 32 pages, had a limited run of about a hundred, and probably sold only one copy. We still have some of those left (along with about 200 of the black and white freebies we had made to build interest)... they are artifacts of what we tried to create long ago. One of these days, we'll scan 'em in so you can chuckle with us.
