(KAMB), the BEER Engine game system, and the first edition of the "Ninja Burger" RPG. Aside from these product lines they have also developed both the "Warhamster" and "Cthulhu for President" role-playing games and numerous supplements for other systems.

9LG's first games were "Adventure! The W¸rlde of Kroson" and "In the Company of Rats", introduced at Origins 1999; these was followed by KAMB, developed in one month for Gen Con 1999.

Currently, 9th Level Games is transitioning out publishing to focus primarily on design. In December 2005, Dork Storm Press (DSP) released "Kobolds Ate My Baby! Super Deluxx Edition", a game that was designed by 9LG and published by DSP.cite web
