WizKids

WizKids, p.n., a gaming company based in New Jersey, founded by FASA Corporation veteran Jordan Weisman in 2000. The company was well known for creating the collectable miniature game genre with Mage Knight. It also created popular games such as HeroClix and Pirates of the Spanish Main. It acquired most of the rights to FASA Corporation games such as Shadowrun and Battletech in 2001.

Addendum: Weisman sold WizKids to Topps, Inc. in 2003. It was subsequently closed in 2008 but the assets minus Shadowrun and Battletech were bought by National Entertainment Collectibles Association in 2009. WizKids still mostly makes HeroClix sets with the occasional reimagining of its games such as the MageKnight board game in 2011.
