About Us

Founded in 2005, Anodyne Productions became the definition of the the idiom "necessity is the mother of invention." Born out of a need for an easy-to-use and powerful tool to manage online RPGs, Anodyne Productions opened its doors with the SIMM Management System (SMS), a tool to help game masters spend less time managing the game and more time playing it. Over the last 8 years, Anodyne has delivered premier RPG management tools, first for Star Trek RPGs with SMS, and now with Nova for RPGs of all kinds.

Our mission is simple: provide products of the highest quality. That's been the driving force behind our efforts since the day we opened our doors; we don't just want to meet your expectations for powerful and easy-to-use web software, we want to exceed it.

Get Help

Let's face it, sometimes things happen and you don't know how to fix it or you don't know the answer to a question. We're here to help in those situations. We've worked hard to provide as many options for you to get the help you need. If you need help with one of our products, these are the ways to get in touch:

The Forums: Our forums are the main way to get help with our products. You can also use the forms to ask questions, get direction and talk with other members of the community. (Requires registration)

Email: We're happy to answer questions over email, but the best place to get help is on the forums.
