Greg Stolze

For Arc Dream, Stolze co-authored Wild Talents (2006), the "sequel" to Godlike, with Detwiller, Kenneth Hite and Shane Ivey, and also wrote alternate settings for the game such as eCollapse. Arc Dream also published a print edition of Reign Enchiridion, a stripped-down version of his Reign fantasy RPG which featured an innovative group resolution mechanic built on the ORE rules. He later incorporated similar rules in the Progenitor setting for Wild Talents.

Meanwhile, Stolze and Dennis Detwiller prepared their game Godlike for publication by Pagan Publishing; 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. 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 licensed the ORE from Stolze, which it subsequently used in other genres, such as in Benjamin Baugh's RPG Monsters and Other Childish Things. Meanwhile, Stolze contributed to role-playing game books for White Wolf Game Studio including Demon: the Fallen and Vampire: The Requiem and wrote novels set in the world of these games. Stolze also created the traditional strategy board game Elemental for Kenzer & Company.

Stolze had met John Scott Tynes when they collaborated with Robin Laws to write Wildest Dreams (1993), a supplement for Tweet's Over the Edge. Stolze and Tynes later co-designed the roleplaying game Unknown Armies; Stolze helped write the mechanics for the game, based on a setting Tynes had been developing for a few years. Although Atlas Games expressed interest in Unknown Armies, Tynes decided to go with Archon Games. Then, Tynes and Stolze learned that founder Lisa Manns was shutting down Archon; when she returned the rights to them, they sought a new publisher, and Atlas Games ultimately published the game in January 1999. Stolze then became the line editor for Feng Shui, Laws' role-playing game based on the Hong Kong action genre.
