Company information
InMediaRes Productions was founded in 2003 by Loren and Heather Coleman, Tara and Randall N. Bills[2] and Philip DeLuca with the express purpose of licensing the rights to publish new, canon Classic BattleTech fiction to the Internet from WizKids.[3] Wizkids granted this license to IMR in the fall of 2003, which directly led to the creation of BattleCorps in August 2004.[4] In 2005, IMR announced its intentions to branch out into Shadowrun fiction and established Holostreets with the intention of doing for Shadowrun what had been done for BattleTech.[5] IMR hopes to have Holostreets up and running by 2008.[6]
On April 20, 2007, IMR announced that it was in negotiations with WizKids and FanPro to acquire the licenses for Classic BattleTech and Shadowrun, as FanPro's licenses were set to expire.[7] On May 17, 2007, IMR announced the creation of Catalyst Game Labs in preparation for the acquisition of the licenses.[8] As of mid-2007, Catalyst began releasing new sourcebooks for both lines.
Heather Coleman serves as IMR's executive manager, while Loren is the submissions editor for BattleCorps.
