TVG: Tell us some interesting facts about Cryptic Studios.

The inspiration for the name derives from a pen and paper RPG product called Cryptozoology. It was the first RPG product (of many) written by two of the founders.

When Cryptic first formed, Silicon Valley was in the throws of the dot com boom. This meant that office space was extremely expensive. The best value we found was a small octagonal building in the middle of an industrial park. Our neighbours were welders, auto part dealers and various other metal industries.
