Wargame Vault The world’s largest wargame download store. OneBookShelf operates a family of online marketplaces connecting creators to fans. An account on any one of our sites will allow you to log in to any other site using the same credentials. Your library of digital titles is likewise combined across all sites.
Together, we have been selling digital and print-on-demand comic books, roleplaying games, and fiction since 2001. As of 2016, we have launched multiple community content programs as well as our Community Card Creator for fans to create content for some of their favorite roleplaying and card games.
A Brief History
2001
James Mathe launches RPGNow the same year Apple launches iTunes. It may be common today to download a book and read it on a computer, tablet, or phone, but RPGNow and a handful of roleplaying game publishers pioneered downloadable PDFs in the gaming community.
2004
Mike Todd, Chris McDonough, and Steve Wieck start DriveThruRPG. The combined efforts of DriveThruRPG and RPGNow make both out-of-print and in-print RPGs easily available in electronic format to fans around the world.
2005
DriveThruComics (the first online retailer to specialize in downloadable comics) and DriveThruFiction are launched, following the success of DriveThruRPG.
2006
RPGNow and DriveThru merge to form OneBookShelf. The sites are integrated so that customers can log into any of the sites using one customer account.
2008
OneBookShelf takes over operations of Mongoose Publishing’s “Wargaming Online” site, relaunching it as Wargame Vault.

Boss Monster, Murder of Crows, and Button Men follow soon after.
2016
