Pagan Publishing was started in the fall of 1990 by John Tynes, then a sophomore at the University of Missouri-Columbia. He was 19 years old and wanted to do something with his time besides go to class and goof off. So, he produced the first issue of a zine known as The Unspeakable Oath. TUO was pubished in support of a horror roleplaying game known as Call of Cthulhu, published by Chaosium, Inc. and based on the writings of jazz-era author H.P. Lovecraft.
The first issue was picked up by gaming distributors and distributed internationally. In short order, Pagan did more issues of the magazine, t-shirts, scenario books, and miscellanous other stuff.
Today, we have a staff of three people, all of whom work part-time on a volunteer basis in the wonderful city of Seattle, Washington. We are:

Adam Scott Glancy: president, business manager, editor
John Crowe: editor
Brian Appleton: editor, proofreader
Ann Koi: art director, webmistress
