The Pitch: Post-Apocalyptic Post-Scarcity Samurai Drama. Players are "Pythons", samurai who are tasked with the unenviable goal of protecting the "Samurai Republic of Gizen". The Samurai Republic suffers from many internal and external threats - The Shadow, the peasant militia, criminals, and the feuds. Will the Samurai Republic rebuild itself? Or is it irreparably damned?

The Game: Players will enforce law and order within the Fortress of "Transformation". The game will feature mechanics that will make the game easy to learn and understand. This is "drop-in, drop-out", so you can stay for only one session, or play in several! Join us, as we explore the rules of "Samurai World" and the setting of Gizen.

The Rules: "Samurai World" is a "Powered By the Apocalypse" hack of "Legend of the Five Rings" (a "fantasy samurai" RPG), inspired by Dungeon World.

The Fluff: We will be playing in the "Samurai Republic of Gizen" setting, based on Legend of the Five Rings and Eclipse Phase. You may read about this setting here - https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1heSWI0qdNONs5_aP9hs7HMw20TNRF2Ni0BYBW6-tuZc/edit?usp=sharing

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"
