Ready your kunai, practice your taijutsu, and eat your lamen. The wait is over.



The 2015 Kickstarter for translating the Japanese ninja battle game Shinobigami is finally done, and the final PDF was released to backers just yesterday.

For those who don't know, it's a game about ninja battles (duh) that embraces all the craziness of Naruto, Basilisk, JoJo Bizarre Adventures and other martial arts anime in all their silliness, Emo and blood-drenched stories. Even more crazy is the game itself, which looks like the unholy child of Hillfolk (GM mediates players framing scenes to push for their objectives...), Paranoia (...while keepin secrets 'n kicking each other *sses...) and D&D (...in elaborated character builds that go from close combat, to ranged combat, to magical combat, to infiltration, etc specialists full of feats and special habilities). All in a setting that's more like World of Darkness but with ninjas, with different, supposedly ancestral, clans wielding mastery over different spheres of power and holding grudges against each other.

Here is the main page for the game with a ton of info on its setting and rules:

I can't deny I'm pretty excited for this game, and from reading the PDF it seems everything I waited for. Anyone else knows/played/excited for this? I expect to playtest this baby really soon as a friend and a brother were also awaiting for this anxiously.
