 Dream Pod 9 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dream Pod 9 (also known as DP9) is a Montreal-based Canadian game publisher.
The company had a rise to fame in the mid and late 1990, fueled by the purported quality and depth of their books.
The group needed a name for their game design studio, and did not want the tired form "Such-and-such Games, Inc." An intense late night brainstorming session brought forth the name "Dream Pod." The number "9" was added to add a bit of pulp sci-fi flair.

 Whatever happened to Dream Pod 9? - RPGnet Forums
DP9 was well on its way into a big letdown before they had dipped their hands into the movie making business.
Considering the intricate nature of the settings for the main DP9 games (HG, JC, T8) losing the people that really were the heart and soul of the games hurt...
The other problem was that with the loss of the original developers DP9 had to rely more and more on freelancers.

Well it seems some of the guys from DP9 has been doing some work on Frank Millers upcoming 300 movie, though now they’re done, and so I hope to see the Colony Companions released soon.
Guess I’ll have to get myself an Xbox 360 (dear God, that name!) anyway… Currently, given the miniscule amount of information available, it looks a bit like Dream Pod 9’s Core Command (which is a good thing).

 Gear Krieg the Role Playing Game by Dream Pod 9 - A Game Monkeys Review!
I'm not going to talk too much about it, since they've been using it for something like a decade, but the system is a solid one and has developed an extremely large fan base.
It's not often that a tactical game transfers this nicely into role-playing, and I certainly applaud Dream Pod for making it happen here.
This is definitely a must for any Gear Krieg tactical players and is probably a good game for role players in general.
