Publisher

Gazer Press is an indie publisher in Vienna, founded in spring 2021 to publish tabletop role-playing games.

In our books, we replace the traditional fantasy genre with historical settings of the 17th century. Spiced up with dazzling NPCs and dark twists, we offer a fresh dungeons & muskets setting where the big catastrophe is always just a pistol shot away.

 

Our Team

 

Markus Schauta 
Publishing Director

Like all Generation X nerds, he read Conan, played Ultima IV and discovered role-playing games with The Dark Eye. From the late 90s, he studied history, archaeology and later religious studies.

In 2011, he took a detour into journalism. Ten years later, Markus decided to found a publishing house. Since then, as publishing director, editor-in-chief and author in one person, he has been trying not to lose sight of the big picture. 

Marianne Musek
Illustrator

With a keen sense for contrasts and a penchant for the fantastic, she is the visual voice of our adventures. She studied fashion design, worked in the fashion world - and finally ended up where her heart always wanted to be: in illustration.

For Gazer Press, she brings idiosyncratic animals, characters and entire worlds to the page - mostly with ink, sometimes with watercolors in which a Playmobil knight has previously bathed, but always with pinpoint accuracy.
