Osprey games is a department of Osprey Publishing which makes historical, science fiction and fantasy games. They tend to focus on narrative games -- usually either setting-neutral, or tied to a specific genre instead of licensing a particular intellectual property. They also do publishing and distribution contracts for several indie designers.
