Great White Games is a publisher of role-playing games owned and operated by Shane Lacey Hensley. Begun as the Pinnacle Entertainment Group in 1994, the company's flagship title during most of its first decade was Deadlands, a role-playing game set in an alternate-history U.S. of the 1870s. Deadlands features magic and horror amidst the tropes of the Old West.
A second major line was introduced in 2001 using the d20 System under the Open Gaming License from Wizards of the Coast. The line is called Weird Wars and features horror elements combined with a historical war setting. The first--and so far only--entrant in the Weird Wars line is Weird War II: Blood on the Rhine.
As of 2003, Great White Games produces Savage Worlds, a game designed to be both a role-playing game and a miniatures game. A highly streamlined, generic system, it is designed to provide game play in any genre. Subsequent releases for Savage Worlds are self-contained campaigns designed to minimize the preparation time of the GM and maximize the time spent running the game with players.
Savage Worlds carries the tag line "Fast! Furious! Fun!" to emphasize the streamlining and quick play inherent in the system.
