Here is Otaidokan!
After a couple of weeks of manic work (not that much but fitting writing and drawing in my schedule is though bussiness) my 12 page-long-samurai-themed ttrpg is out there on time for the Samurai Jam!
The game is set in a Feudal-Japan-ish island where the death of the shogun has broken the long-lasting period of peace. Now, the five main factions of the Sapphire Island are plotting to get with the power as the players try to follow their samurai code. The system itself is very simple, just a reskin of World of Dungeons, but with some changes in equipment, honor and wealth stats, rules for social climbing and fiefdom management... I think I have managed to put a number of things in 12 pages (including the cover and a full page map of the island).
I have used some stock art from Mikoarc Studio (amazing stuff) to make the game a bit more appealing to the eye.
As it always happens, it has been finishing this project and have my head flooded with ideas for expansions (kenjutsu schools, martial arts, new islands with new factions, large scale battles...) but at the minute, I will stay in a monastery to practice some meditation and settle my troubled mind.
Enjoy the game!
