IRONCLAW is a bold new direction in fantasy role-playing games, designed with both the novice and the experienced gamer in mind ... simple enough that one can start playing in only 15 minutes, yet richly developed, clearly presented, and lavishly illustrated. With two dozen races ... over 60 careers than can be mixed and matched without restrictions ... plus rules for making your own races and careers ... plus over four different kinds of magic with more than 150 spells; plus unique powers and abilities, from the primal to the technological. The role you assume is limited only by your imagination.

Fortune's Stroke
by Eric Flint and David Drake

Link, the supercomputer from a future that should not exist, has used terror and gunpowder weapons to forge the Malwa Empire: harnessing the vast manpower of the Indian subcontinent and using the barbarian races of the periphery to bind the whole together. No power on Earth in the 6th century could stand against Link's evil.
