Greg Stolze (born 1970) is an American novelist and writer, whose work has mainly focused on properties derived from role-playing games. ==Career== Stolze met John Tynes while they were working on ''Wildest Dreams'' (1993), a supplement for ''Over the Edge''. Stolze and Tynes co-designed the roleplaying game ''Unknown Armies''; Stolze helped write the mechanics for the game which Tynes had been developing for a few years.〔 Although Atlas Games expressed interest in ''Unknown Armies'', Tynes decided to go with Archon Games, but Tynes and Stolze learned that founder Lisa Manns was shutting down Archon and she returned the rights to them; they sought a new publisher, and Atlas Games ultimately published the game in January 1999.〔 Stolze created the traditional strategy board game ''Elemental'' from Kenzer & Company. Stolze then became the line editor for the role-playing game ''Feng Shui''.〔 Stolze and Dennis Detwiller prepared their game ''Godlike'' for publication by Pagan Publishing, but as Pagan was winding down, Detwiller took it to his friends Hsin Chen and Aron Anderson, who created the company Hawthorn Hobgoblynn Press (later known as Eos Press) in 2001 to publish the game.〔 Stolze was working on ''Vampire: The Requiem'' books at the time, and ''Godlike'' uses his One-Roll Engine (ORE) dice system; in 2003 he withdrew EOS's license to use ORE.〔 Detwiller formed Arc Dream Publishing in 2002 to produce supplements for ''Godlike'', and in 2003 Arc Dream acquired the licensing from Stolze to use ORE.〔 Stolze created the self-published wargame ''Meatbot Massacre''.〔 For Arc Dream, Stolze later wrote both ''Wild Talents'' supplements, such as ''Progenitor'' (2010) and also published a print copy of ''Reign Enchiridion'' (2010), a stripped-down version of his ORE RPG.〔 Stolze has produced small, independent role-playing games such as ''Executive Decision'' and ''...in Spaaace!''.〔 Stolze has contributed to numerous role-playing game books for White Wolf Game Studio〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=Greg Stolze )〕 and Atlas Games,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=Greg Stolze )〕 including Demon: the Fallen. Some of Stolze's recent work has been self-published using the "ransom method", whereby the game is only released when enough potential buyers have contributed enough money to reach a threshold set by the author.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=Greg Stolze )〕 Together with John Tynes he created and wrote the role-playing game Unknown Armies, published by Atlas Games. He has also co-written the free game NEMESIS, which uses the One-Roll Engine presented in Godlike and the ''Madness Meter'' derived from Unknown Armies. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Greg Stolze」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
