The Reign roleplaying game expands the frontiers of fantasy gaming by elevating the action to an international stage. Monarchs and mercenaries 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 and bring prosperity to threatened lands–or, if you prefer, conquer and pillage on a vast and awesome scale. This second edition of Greg Stolze’s game of lords and leaders is built from the start to put the characters in charge of nations, churches, cults, and criminal mobs. You aren’t just doing the King’s tasks—you can be the King doing the tasks. You become the movers and shakers in the setting, or fail due to your own glorious hubris.Revised and Expanded Reign second edition completely reorganizes the Reign rules for easier references and better clarity, offering loads of options that let you mechanize what you want to emphasize–whether that’s sailcraft, chase scenes, or duels of manners. Rules for making your own esoteric disciplines, a fluid hand-to-hand combat system, systems for ordering your minions into glorious war, and even methods for navigating the stormy seas await you within these pages.
