Who's Running This Thing?
TAPM Systems is an independent game developer created by Bear Winters and comprising of several volunteers and friends to help bring its flagship product – Project Biomodus – into fruition. Based in the Bay Area of California, TAPM Systems has a strong baseline of game development experience, some excellent play-testers and a few poor souls who have been dragged along for the ride.
Our goal is to become a fully-fledged, self-publishing Indie RPG Developer, supporting other Indie Developers in getting their systems realized and in the hands of you – the general public. With self-publishing and Print on Demand technology increasing in scope and cost effectiveness, you no longer have to be an industry monolith to have a game realized – and now with crowd-sourced funding being the most popular way for developers to back projects, it has never been a better time to dust off that old game you created and get it published.
TAPM Systems aims to help people do that. Project Biomodus is just the beginning.

Melina 'Mel' Reyes
Chief Editor, Corporate Metalhead - Project Biomodus
Mel is one of those people who can tell you that your formatting is completely screwy and still make you smile about it. As the Chief Editor for Project Biomodus, her keen eye on the small things is invaluable to the development of any publication. She has a keen love for excellent music, such as Metallica, Opeth, Mastodon and KidzBop. With her Disney-grade acceptance of all things fluffy, she is as awesome as she is thematically contradictory and we are lucky to have her on board.
