Always a cause for rejoicing in the Stolze household. This one was for science fiction, so brace yourself for a string of links, OK? Are you braced? You are? All right. First off, there’s First Contact, which is what it sounds like, a story of people meeting aliens for the first time. In this case,…
Right now, REIGN — the entirety of the line — exists as a book and sixteen internet supplements (each of which has been collected into a print-on-demand book as well). The goal for the relaunch is to turn that into two books, possibly in an attractive slipcase. Sounds easy, right? You just smack the printed…
People, it’s happening. I first released REIGN in 2007, and I can honestly say I didn’t realize where it would go or how. But the material struck a chord, the mechanics found some purchase, and the method of getting paid for it, well… let’s just say that worked well enough that other people started taking…

My novel YOU was a resounding success on Kickstarter, and I could not be more grateful to the backers who put it over $10,000. If you’re one of those backers, I hope you liked the story. (If you did, maybe put up a rating or review on its Amazon, DriveThruFiction, Goodreads or Librarything page? Just…
Some of you may remember a game I worked on? Unknown Armies? Bunch of skeevy weirdos trying to undermine the fundaments of reality because no one else had the brass to try it? It’s back. In Kickstarter form. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/atlasgames/unknown-armies-third-edition-roleplaying-game The fundraising is going great guns, which is good news for you and me both but,…
It may or may not have hit your radar that the bleakest and cruelest nadir of Lovecraftian RPG settings is going in to get retooled for even greater and more efficient existential despair, but it’s happening. Check this out: DELTA GREEN is getting Kickstarted, and it’s been blowing through stretch goals left and right. The more…
Some time ago, I published a book called Dinosaurs…in SPAAACE! It got some good reviews, I sold some, but (as is natural in a product cycle) eventually shiny new stuff like D&D 5ed came along and people forgot about it. But IPR’s warehouse isn’t infinite, so I’ve decided to activate the Fire Sale option and…
