An homage to classic films Seven Samurai (1954) and Magnificent Seven (1960), this challenging but accessible game sees samurai and cowboys work together to defend a village from bandits.
Description:
This one-shot brings players into a richly imagined and historically-informed adventure set in Meiji-era Japan. Using DnD 5th Edition (2014), with custom classes, weapons, and mechanics, players will form a ragtag group of heroes to defend Okutama village. Hopelessly outnumbered, the warriors will need to enlist the help of the villagers, carefully strategize, and use the terrain to full advantage if they want to succeed. This game is suitable for players of all experience levels. Prefabricated character sheets for gunslingers and samurais will be provided at the table. The story offers plenty of opportunity for immersive roleplay and lends itself well to complicated characters with strong arcs, but, as in the films, expect a few graves to be filled by the time the end credits roll - the village of Okumura needs heroes who arent afraid to lay down their lives for a noble cause.
