Grim War is a Wild Talents setting by Greg Stolze and Kenneth Hite. In Grim War there are two sorts of superhuman powers at work: Mutants with the traditional kind of superpowers, and sorcerers who (usually) have no powers of their own but who summon strange otherworldly spirits to work powerful magic on their behalf. Most people in the world of Grim War consider mutant powers good and spirit-summoning sorcery evil, but it’s never that simple. The most interesting groups of player characters often include both sorcerers and mutants.
