The Empty City - Sanctuary RPG

https://i.ibb.co/9tHKgsd/image.png

Noir Fantasy Samurai.

The mainland is under attack by the forces of Jigkou. Out of fear and desperation, a group of Imperial loyalists have fled over to the new lands of Sanctuary. These settlers set up a new civilization, seeking to preserve the traditions of their forefathers. Sanctuary is a strange place, filled with wonders and opportunity - but also darkness. Some of that darkness is internal - human nature is hard to tame. And some that darkness lurk within the new lands itself.

Will these settlers succeed in this strange frontier? Or will they succumb to the forces of mundane corruption and spiritual horrors?

The following text is from the "L5R: Shadows and Strangers along the Road" meetup pitch (https://www.meetup.com/gauntlet-rpg/events/274213151/), by Daniel Fowler:

"All players are required to be respectful of others and their efforts. This game covers some mature concepts. The X-Card will be in use and enforced. Rokugan is a fantasy setting inspired by eastern culture and myth but does not represent an actual place or people. Regardless, all players are expected to be respectful of other cultures, even when they appear strange or new to both the character and player.

Expect
Violence, armed combat and murder
Social intrigues
Mythical creatures and magic
Cultures and costumes that may resemble real world or historic peoples.
A rigid cast system and feudal slavery
Social injustice.
Government and Anti-government conspiracy
Religious disputes

Do not expect:
Funny accents
Anime tropes
Historical accuracy
On screen sex, torture or physical abuse (outside combat),
Any sexual violence
Any abuse of children or animals"
