A game development company originally called Several Dudes Holistic Gaming. Holistic Design is a little known underdog in the gaming world. A humorous part of that fact that Holistic Design is so little known, is that many gamers have played at least one of Holistic's games.

Holistic Design does not truly specialize in any one area. They pioneered the Fading Suns pen and paper game, developed the later Noble Armada miniature game and develop PC based video games. They also have series of books based on their developed worlds.

The Fading Suns series is Holistic Design's most popular gaming system these days, though almost every PC gamer remembers Merchant Prince (aka Machiavelli the Prince) from the DOS gaming days.

Works attributed to Holistic Design:

  1. Pen and Paper RPG
    1. Fading Suns
    2. Real-Life Series (Afghanistan and soon to be released Somalia)
  2. Miniatures
    1. Carnage
    2. Combat Zone
    3. Fading Suns: Noble Armada
    4. Fantasy Encounter
  3. Computer Games

    2. Emperor of the Fading Suns
    3. Fading Suns: Noble Armada (Not Yet Released)

    5. Hammer of the Gods
    6. Machiavelli the Prince
