Wasuremonogatari, the Anime & Manga RPG

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Suggested Price $15.00

An exotic, collaborative, open-source, and action-oriented game designed from the ground up for anime-style storytelling and combat.

A Shiro Castle

Wa is built around the finest, most tried-and-true, sword-tested tropes from anime and manga. In Wa, you'll see beast people, katana-wielding samurai, ki-powered ninja, spiritually enlightened shugenja, ancient mountain hermits, and powerful blood ties that go back for millennia. Combat is explosive, quick, and merciless. Your heroes will master powers of your choosing, and wield them against a vast array of foes, from possessed paper lanterns to powerful samurai generals to conniving corrupt kami.

Tetsukabe vs Ryuuka

Wa thrives on intense, rapid combat, active, emotional characters, and deep, meaningful storylines. Wa is eschews sword-and-sorcery and dungeon crawling in favor of twisted tales of revenge, love, betrayal, and martial prowess.

Wa's game system is unique. It walks the line between effect-based and outcome-based systems, providing a general framework for how attacks and defenses should work, while allowing you to describe the action yourself.

The main mechanic in Wa is an opposed Skill Roll that the player can get bonuses on for interesting role-playing and well described combat techniques. This means that while there is a random element to combat, players who really need to succeed on a roll can tilt the odds in their favor by making the game interesting for everyone else!

Decisions, decisions..

Creative role-playing and clever maneuvers are rewarded in Wa. Coming up with a way to outsmart your opponent nets you bonuses to your rolls, providing a quick, sturdy mechanic that reinforces good roleplaying. It wouldn't feel like an anime if people weren't kicking boulders at each other and cutting down castles.

Many americanized versions of ninja and samurai are depicted as being historical or pseudo-historical. This is similar to having a roleplaying game about knights with no dragons, trolls, mages, or elves. Wa is not pseudo-historical. It's far more super-heroic, with powers, abilities, and fell magics vastly superior to mortal abilities. Don't argue about whether your samurai could take a Hopelite. If you're going to argue power, match yourself against Shishio or Sasuke or Gennosuke. We're aiming for a game that would make Nobuhiro Watsuki, Hideaki Anno, and Fumikane Shimada proud.

No P.O.D. and page count vs. cost work against Wasuremonogatari RPG. It looks like a lot of effort went into it's artistic production, but even a 25% discount is not enough. It needs more pages added to it, to justify its price margins, or offer it at $6 as it is.

The Attribute Block traits from the Character Creator are missing, and the algorithm for Movement is 2L+3 instead of the P+3 that the CC uses.

Why no pod option? Also a bit pricy for the page count considering the new OVA is same price and larger book.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
