SENSHI RPG – MASTER TOME

Enter feudal Japan during the Warring States period, where mighty clans fight each other for the ultimate prize and where glory and turmoil are an everyday occurence. 

Delve into Japan’s rich historical setting towards the end of one of its most volatile periods in history. The clans have been trapped in a civil war for more than 200 years, fighting for the seat of power in Kyoto, where only one will be crowned Shogun.

Senshi is a all-in-one, massive tome that features everything from a variety of professions, items, an even a guide for GM’s. While there are optional expansions planned in the near future, this book contains EVERYTHING you need to play either a one-shot or a full-fledged campaign in Senshi and even comes with a FREE one-shot to get you started!

Don’t let the size of this book discourage you – the rules are simple enough to be printed on two pages. The rest of the book details the large number of professions, items, martial schools, abilities, NPCs, etc.

Here’s what you get with this book:

• RICH HISTORY: A rich setting of feudal Japan towards the end of the 16th century (1575), along with historical context, important people, places of interest and religions, all illustrated through beatutiful, authentic Japanese Ukiyo-e art from 19th and 18th century Japanese artists.
• 11 PROFESSIONS (classes): Choose from 11 archetypes that define your character’s starting bonuses and place in Japanese society, each with its own unique bonus – from samurai to warrior priests.
• EASY TO LEARN: A simple, but deep success-based system of my own design. 
• POINT-BUY PROGRESSION: A progression system that doesn’t feature character levels – attributes and skills are improved via XP gained during the adventure.
• HONOR AND GLORY: A unique honor, reputation and trait system which doesn’t just act as an RP mechanic but has actual gameplay mechanics as well!
• ABILITIES AND TECHNIQUES: Over 100 abilities and martial techniques that are unlocked as your character advances in their related skills.
• INVESTMENT OPTIONS: Buy properties, hire servants, run fiefs and even engage in sieges.
• A VAST ARSENAL: A large arsenal of weaponry in 8 levels of quality – wield katanas, naginatas and even exotic ninjutsu and Okinawan kobudo weapons.
• LINEAGE SYSTEM: Roll for parents, siblings and descendants and let them inherit your character’s property and items upon your character’s death so that they can avenge their dead relative!
• ADJUDICATION: A guide for Adjudicators (GMs) that features tips for beginners and a decent variety of NPCs and animals to feature in your games.
• FREE ADVENTURE: A FREE one-shot that’s based on a real historical event, with 8 premade characters that requires very little prep (included as a separate file).
