The north of Japan has been hit by an 8.9 magnitude earthquake, making it one of the strongest earthquakes in Japan’s and recent world history. Aftershocks measuring up to 7.1 continued to be felt hours after the initial quake and massive tsunamis have washed over the northern regions of the island, taking cars, boats, houses, lives along the way. Even for a country that is prepared to deal with seismic disasters this is a lot, and help from the world will be needed.

To do our little part, both author Jeremy Puckett and myself, and the good folks at GeekyClean, have decided to put together a bundle.

Ronin brings you to Japan during the Edo Period, characterized by the rule of the Tokugawa Shogunate (1600-1868). This is the height of samurai culture, when feudal lords commanded fearsome warriors and ruled vast lands, when the mysticism of the past clashed blades with the coming of the modern age. Will you be a samurai beholden to a master or a free-ranging ronin? Will you follow the way of the sword or call upon the arcane spirits? Will you explore high society or delve into the commoner’s world? A world on the edge of turmoil awaits you.

Ronin gives players and Game Masters will find invaluable information to bring the rich historical era of the Edo Period to their games, including:

• An introduction to Tokugawa Japan, covering topics such as geography, culture, daily life, nobility, commoners, outsiders and outcasts, magic and mysticism.
• A primer on samurai culture.
• New Rules systems, such as the all-important Honor, as well as Flaws.
• New Basic Classes, such as the courtier, shudoshi (Zen seekers), and vagabond.
• New Prestige Classes, such as the blade saint, blind swordman, hedge witch, medium, merchant, and shinobi.
• New Feats, 16 in total.
• New Magic, including 12 new spells.
• A Bestiary of menaces from the natural, magical and ghostly realms.

Ronin: Oriental Adventures in Tokugawa Japan is a sourcebook in the 3rd Fantasy line, compatible with the 3.5 edition of the world’s most popular fantasy roleplaying game.
