Project Nemesis is a fan driven website for games that use the One-Roll Engine (like Nemesis, Wild Talents, Reign and Monsters) or Chaosium's Basic Roleplay System (BRP) (like Call of Cthulhu) and the Delta Green setting.
First of all, each race is worth 5 points in total. That means if you
hand-pick it, each race costs 5 points. Even humans do. Yes. It also
means, that if you random-roll your character, one of your total dice
is reserved for the Race Roll. This dice is rolled seperately from the
rest.
I have been thinking armor and weapons (in addition to that Warhammer
stuff). I own The Riddle of Steel's Flower of Battle and I "converted"
armor materials from that.
I was bored and had some time to spare today, so I entertained myself
writing some of the major UA groups in terms of Reign's Companies. I'm

for that matter, so any comments will be welcome.
This weekend, I had the opportunity to run REIGN for the first time. We
wanted to get the full feel of the ORE system, so we went for one roll
characters and a one roll company. The next time, I'd probably do the
company first and then set a few dice for character roll-up so that the
characters fit the company envisioned, but in our case, things worked
out quite fine.
Simply put, it's not called the Cottage Industry for nothing. Here are

In a world of majestic sorcery, there are also those that labour under failed ambition or are spiritually deflowered, these sorcerers whose long and winding road is a little off the beaten path. A few are just educated but most are able to muster some grubby charms and brief sparks of power as they eke out a living as hayseed shamans and crafty mountebanks.
