Trade Paperback. Condition: Fine. First Edition. 190 Pages Indexed. Previous owner's name blacked out on front endpaper. No other defects noted. Interior text and illustration pages are near flawless. No marks, stamps, or labels. This book requires the use of the Third Edition Dungeons & Dragons Player's Handbook and Dungeon Master's Guide. The Monster Manual is necessary for the chapter dedicated to races. This book is divided into a number of chapters each covering a number of eras. Eras are divided into Historical, Modern, and Futuristic. The historical era is the time when mercenaries were on the rise and 400 B.C. to A.D. 1600. The modern era covers the Roaring Twenties, World Wars I and II, Vietnam, and conflicts in South Africa ranging from A.D. 1900 and beyond. Why call our modern times futuristic? Because this is the rise of the mercenary company as an international, efficient, and profitable organization. Each era can be used in different settings. Finally, futuristic campaigns can involve aliens, espionage, postapocalyptic scenarios, or the new age of secret warfare against cyberterroism. Michael "Talien" Tresca is a game designer, author, communicator, and artist. He was the National RPG and Sci-Fi Movie Examiner for six years. Yanner, Kieran; Savage, R.
