Per Old-School Revival (OSR)
The empire was shattered by the dragon that sleeps under the sea.
Its people are isolated, living on small islands, preyed upon by infernal monsters.
Anyone who volunteers to help liberate these islands will be offered a place among the nobility at the end of the crusade!
Ronin Saga is a classless and level-less RPG with OSR roots, inspired by Japanese folklore. Players take the role of volunteers trying to reunite the Empire, one island at a time. Easy to learn for the players and referees only have to design one island at a time, as one island equals one adventure.
How does it play?
Roll a d20, add an ability score and meet or beat the difficulty to succeed.
What's inside?
Play a human, a half-oni, a monkey or a kitsune. Built-up your character as you wish each time you bring back an island to the Empire's fold: learn elemental summons, blessings, shadow spells or get infected by a parasite!
Referees will find tools to build their islands, factions, a dueling system, a collection of creatures and also multiple tables to make their empire unique.
Who's behind this?
Kobayashi, the guy behind best-selling rpgs like the Black Sword Hack and Extinction, Mylydy a lead story artist at Pixar and Edgarra who did the layout on Fléaux!
