From the introduction: "These rules, although they probably bear my name on the cover, are the work of the Lincoln Order of Necromancers--a casual society based mainly around the playing of and formation of rules for all forms of SF wargaming. We started playing Sword and Sorcery wargames, running campaigns etc in early 1972 sometime before Minifigs introduced their 'Mythical Earth' range of 25mm figures. These rules are thus the result of 5 years of fantasy wargaming--they are not merely an exploitation of the present fantasy trends."

From the introduction: "Reaper Fantasy Rules are a tried and tested set of wargame rules which have remained popular since they were first published several years ago. This is the second edition incorporating changes resulting from feedback and criticism from players, and a few ideas of our own. Reaper was written for use with wargame figures and battles with upwards of 30 or so figures a side--although smaller games can be fought with ease. Reaper is a very flexible set of rules and leaves quite a lot up to the players--so special rules for wierd monsters are not included, although we do make a few suggestions. This we feel is fairer to the players because Reaper is quite a long set of rules; to make them any longer by including obscure rules for obscure monsters which you would probably disagree with anyway, would be a waste of time on our part and a waste of money on yours."
