Optimus Design Systems Optimus Design Systems (ODS) was a small publisher of role-playing games (RPGs), based in Buffalo, New York. The company produced two products, the "Battlelords of the 23rd Century" science-fiction role-playing game, and the "Blood Dawn" post-apocalyptic RPG. ODS produced the first of several editions of "Battlelords of the 23rd Century" in 1990, followed by several supplements. In addition, it opened two game stores, one in Buffalo, New York and one in Williamsville, New York. ODS was primarily run by its founder, Lawrence R. Sims, who was also the primary author of its products. The company eventually succumbed to financial difficulties. SSDC, Inc. acquired the licenses to these products in 1999.
