Hi! I've bought this product today and had an hour study of the content... My compliment! It is very good stuff! I'll propose some session of that at my association, in order to try it "on the ground".
I have just few points for you:
- I really enjoyed the worldbuilding part and the adventure seed generation, very good job! Though, I see that the procedural creation covers only the wildernesses and not the dungeons. I would be really interested to see your version of dungeon building according to this game.
- Japanese version of the backgrounds are very nice and the images impressive, but I find a bit difficult to put all of them together in a consistent way. Of course I can put together a party of a samurai, a ronin and a pirate, but the internal consistency would be a bit weird and the common goals difficult to set. For my next session I'm thinking to select only samurai or only outlaws (ronin, pirate and so) or only commoners backgrounds.
- I miss a bit the magic side. I think that you don't want to put magic books like they are in Cairn and I appreciated the rite addendum, but I'm figuring out now some relic of the yokai as magical items, like an Oni horn or stuff like that. What do you think?
Thank you for your work! I'll keep you up if bring it to the table :)
