Sengoku: Chanbara Roleplaying in Feudal Japan is a role-playing game set in 16th-century Japan.
Contents
[edit]Sengoku comes as a single book. It uses the Fuzion rules system,[1] which is highly rated for flexibility but can be difficult to learn. There are detailed descriptions of society, weapons, language, locations and such, a comprehensive filmography, and quotations scattered throughout the book. The tone can be realistic, heroic as in Akira Kurosawa films, or super heroic as in many manga comic books.
Publication history
[edit]Sengoku was created by Anthony J. Bryant and Mark Arsenault,[2] and published by Gold Rush Games in 1999.
A revised edition of Sengoku was published in 2002.[1]
Reception
[edit]The original version was reviewed in Knights of the Dinner Table Magazine #38.
The revised edition was nominated for the 2002 Grog d'Or Awards in the category Best RPG.[citation needed]
