Welcome to the Wild Cards Wiki, the wiki about the Wild Cards series, that anyone can edit.

The Wild Cards series of mosaic novels developed out of an ongoing superhero roleplaying campaign run by author George R.R. Martin and eventually spanning 21 volumes. Contributing authors include Roger Zelazny, Lewis Shiner, Melinda M. Snodgrass, Walter Jon Williams, John Jos. Miller, and Martin himself.

The last arc contained three books, the first published in January 2008 called Inside Straight, the second published in December 2008 called Busted Flush. The third book in this arc was released in late 2009 under the name of Suicide Kings. This arc has been referred to as either the American Hero trilogy or the Committee trilogy.

Fort Freak was released on the 21st June 2011 in hardcover. The reprint of Wild Cards I was released in 2010 and the next two novels to follow, and new Role-playing game aids for the Mutants and Masterminds game system.
