Your lord is dead, and only you and your faithful comrades can bring his betrayers to justice. Travel tirelessly and work to make things better for your people!
Based on Lasers & Feelings by John Harper, Katanas & Kimonos is an evocative, samurai-themed game that takes its inspiration from the chanbara films of Akira Kurosawa. At the same time, Katanas & Kimonos encourages players and the GM to seek out or create wondrous and beautiful places.
Unlike other Lasers & Feelings games, Katanas & Kimonos features TWO EXTRA PAGES with advanced rules. These include a press-your-luck mechanic, escalating difficulty (with no math required!) methods for tracking tasks and danger, samurai duels, and even character advancement. Each of these advanced rules are in the spirit of the original game, and you can transfer them to just about any L&F hack.
Finally, you also get a one-sheet adventure, FLIGHT FROM CASTLE MATSUOKA, to help start things off! This adventure is suitable for use as a one-shot or as the start of a whole campaign.
