Book Description
The REIGN Enchiridion is a digest-size paperback that contains the complete rules for Greg Stolze's hit fantasy roleplaying game "REIGN: A Game of Lords and Leaders." REIGN expands the frontiers of fantasy gaming by elevating the action to an international stage. Monarchs, mercenaries and merchant princes gamble armies and fortunes to win nations in a rich and vibrant fantasy setting. REIGN's simple but complete rules model the triumphs and disasters of societies as small as a village or as large as a realm-spanning religion. With REIGN, your characters can defend threatened nations, bring prosperity to desperate provinces, make laws and perpetuate justice... or, if you prefer, loot, conquer and pillage on a vast and awesome scale.

Book Description
"Grim War" is a "Wild Talents" roleplaying game sourcebook of superpowered mutants, nefarious sorcerers, and the ordinary men and women trying to control them all. Written by "Wild Talents" co-authors Greg Stolze and Kenneth Hite, and illustrated by Todd Shearer, "Grim War" introduces a fascinating and weird new system of spirit-summoning magic. Sorcerous characters can wield fantastic power-if they are willing to pay the price. "Grim War" details dozens of bizarre and sometimes terrifying spirits and the harrowing spells required to treat with them. "Grim War" brings the "company rules" of Greg Stolze's "Reign" to the superpowered action of "Wild Talents" (you need "Reign" to use the company rules), allowing players to join, influence or oppose a dozen fully-detailed sorcerous cabals and mutant factions.
