Gad Games

Welcome to Gad Games...we are back (from the 90's)!

We are a small game design company specializing in web-based, multi-player, turn-based games.

2021 will see the resurrection of Gad Games, as we have been dormant since the mid 90's (we tried but failed to resurface around 2010!).

Back in the 80's & 90's we were a thriving company, producing several highly successful play-by-mail (PBM) games.

Currently we are working on a fantasy game called Ilkor: Dark Rising.

It will be a single character RPG game focusing on many of the traditional elements and features of PBM that we believe have not yet been ported across to the web.

Gad Games has been out of action for 20+ years but we're now back!!

The Past: We were originally founded by Sean Cleworth way back in the late 80's. The business sprung from humble beginnings, running from his bedroom while at school to it's peck where it was a full-time company run from it's own offices, employing some 20+ staff and servicing 20,000+ players through an offering of such games as World of Chaos, Soccer Supremos & Middle Earth.

The Present: We, actually that means ME (Sean Cleworth) am putting the final touches to Ilkor: Dark Rising.  It will be hand-moderated game and I'll be running it in my spare time free of charge.  For many many years now I have been toying with the idea of  working on a new game design. This started in 2010 but after picking up some momentum I had to put it on pause as I just didn't have the time nor energy.  Thanks to COVID-19 I was finding I had more and more time on my hands in the evenings and weekends.  I picked up the project from where it was left off and here we go!!!!

The Future: My intentions with Ilkor is to just have some fun and run it in my spare time in the evenings and weekends when I have the energy for it.  I'm not here to make any money from this, I see it as a hobby that I'd like to do going forward.

I would love to hear from you, new and old alike.

Originally based in the UK, Gad Games is now being run from South Africa.

If you are a player or a game-master from the 'good old days' then drop us a line, it would be great to catch up and chat about old times.

I am more than happy to talk about Ilkor: Dark Rising, should you be interested.
