Hi. My name is Greg Stolze, this is my web page, and I write books.

Hey! I Won An Award!

It is my great and distinct honor to have recently won the inaugural Richard Eastman Award for Fiction. (Here is the press release, in .pdf format. You can read the winning story in Rivulets #20 along with another of my stories which did not win and a poem. Yes. A poem by me. If you prefer to support a local bookstore, you can order it. The ISBN is 978-0-9667094-8-3 .

Now Available: REIGN Supplement #11, The Works

Supplement #11, with Fluid Combat and a guide to constructing Esoteric Disciplines, has been freed. by the REIGN Fan Liberation Front. You can download it right now by clicking here.

If This Is Your First Time...

In addition to the many companies that have employed me, I also self-published a few books, partially as an experiment, partially out of laziness. If lazy experimentalism sounds appealing (rather than appalling) here are some links.

Scary Face, my short story collection, is now available as a .pdf.

GODWALKER, a novel tied in to the game Unknown Armies.

These People Mean Nothing To Each Other is another distribution experiment, this one in charitable fundraising via hard-boiled fiction.

Today's Hostages Include...

I've updated the Internet Fiction Library with 43% of the story that's currently up for grabs. That pushed donations up over the halfway mark, so why not click on that sample part and see if you like it too? It's a little bit like the first hit being free. Or like when the kidnapper sends home part of the hostage. But less traumatic and messy, I hope.

REIGN in PDF, Available Now

REIGN is now for sale as a .pdf, at IPR and at RPGNow. My caveat for Lulu buyers is that the file available there is extremely large and dense, since it was intended to guide a printer, not be read off a screen. The other versions are more condensed.

A Dirty World: For Sale!

A Dirty World is available from Lulu.com both as a print volume and as a .pdf download. The .pdf is for sale at RPGNow where you can also get the cover as a free poster. Both print and .pdf formats are also available bundled from Indie Press Revolution. The Dirty World web page has also been updated with a character sheet.

I ran it at both Ropecon and GenCon, using both a fully scripted scenario and a series of randomly-rolled cases from the charts in the back. I'm pleased to report that all the games went well: Cops were seduced and suborned from their duties, people died shameful deaths, mistresses were revealed, shotguns were fired and a good time was had by all.

The First Year of Our REIGN

The First Year of Our REIGN contains a re-edited version of the REIGNwiki text and art, along with everything released in Supplements 1-6. It's available as a lush full color hardback and a softcover with black and white interior. The two .pdfs (color or black and white), are both available for download free.
