Cabinet Entertainment’s transmedia publisher Perilous Worlds has named game industry veteran Pierce Watters as its new Consulting Publisher.

Pierce has been in book publishing since 1974 and has extensive experience with books, magazines, and games. He was Publisher of Dragon and Dungeon magazines and Executive Editor of Amazing Stories for Wizards of the Coast; and Editor-in-Chief of Dragon and Dungeon at TSR. He is currently Director of Sales for Paizo, Inc., a position he will maintain concurrently to the new post.

“Building on Robert E. Howard, one of the most famous names in publishing history, Perilous Worlds is poised to become a leader in the world of 21st Century publishing,” said Pierce Watters. “It’s a new world and with modern media and technology, we want to help shape the future of storytelling.”

Cabinet Entertainment, Fredrik Malmberg’s IP management and production company, recently launched  a new games division, Perilous Worlds Games, to release games based on Conan, Mutant Chronicles, Mutant Year Zero, Kult, and other  properties for which it currently holds rights (see “Cabinet Entertainment Launching Game Line”).
