Reign

My copy of Reign arrived yesterday. I've not finished reading it yet - in fact I've barely scratched the surface - but already I have ideas. It looks mighty in a large number of ways... I was expecting to buy it, read it, strip out the setting and use my own. The book's even written with that kind of thing in mind - it's a system or toolkit with a sample setting included, pretty much. but unexpectedly, the default setting is looking rather amazing as well - considerably more detailed and well thought through than pretty much any other RPG I've seen. Which is impressive, considering some of the competition out there!

To be fair, I should have expected this from Greg Stolze, really.

Unfortunately, I may not be able to properly showcase it in a one-off game. I may have to run a short campaign of some kind. I don't know exactly what yet, but even with the default setting I've got so much flexibility and cool stuff to play with that I could run any kind of fantasy you might fancy in a believable and consistent world.

The company rules are also a new contender for a replacement for massive chunks of MET backgrounds, influences, etc.

Let me know if you do decide to run something, this sounds right up my street
