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.One Roll Does it AllPowered by a fantasy-optimized version of the One Roll Engine (or ORE) popularized by GODLIKE, NEMESIS, and Wild Talents, REIGN can take your characters from beggars to emperors. If you're already a fan of the ORE, REIGN is familiar (though with a few interesting refinements). If it's new to you, the ORE resolves events in delicate detail without cumbersome layers of contingent rolls.The Personal and the PoliticalIn REIGN, the characters aren't lone wolf strangers in strange lands, but leaders of communities, and those groups of followers can resolve large-scale conflicts against their rivals. This divide allows players to focus on the story elements they choose. If they don't care for blow-by-blow combat, they can simply send their army to besiege an enemy stronghold. On the other hand, if they lead the attack in person, they can drastically improve the chances of success! or doom their enterprise through foolish choices. The benefits of ruling are great, but the consequences of failure are drastic.The group-resolution rules from REIGN are self-contained and modular. It's a simple matter to stack them on top of any other RPG system. Want a concrete way to model what happens to the city when your superheroes destroy the Cult of Moloch Triumphant? Use REIGN to stat up the city and the cult. Ever wonder who'd win if two rival government conspiraces went head to head? REIGN lets you measure their weaknesses and strengths, then test them against one another. Fantasy kingdoms, cosmic empires and secretive cabals can all be easily managed and modeled with REIGN.
