Publication history
Holy Warriors was written by Bill Hamblin and published by Timeline Ltd. in 1985 as a 64-page book.[2]
Shannon Appelcline noted that after The Morrow Project, "The '80s run of TimeLine produced one other RPG, Time & Again (1984), designed by Voss and Worzel. It was a 'realistic' time travel RPG that - like The Morrow Project - was considered by some to be too complex. There was one supplement, Holy Warriors (1985), and after that the game disappeared."[3]: 178
