Wanted: Players!

The Plot: Years ago, Prince Matabei was dispossessed of his right to rule by his uncle, Lord Kenshin, following the mysterious death of Matabei's father.

Now, in the dead of night, on a fog-shrouded coast, the prince returns to Tsuke, his former kingdom.  During the coming days, he must investigate the province, locate Lord Kenshin's troops, and determine who is for him and who is against him. At the same time, Lord Kenshin will be fighting to keep control in a land that has come to hate him.

Note: The plot is largely adapted from an obscure 1980's Dungeons and Dragoons childrens book - a "Choose Your Own Adventure/Endless Quest/Fighting Fantasy" style of book called "Warlords: An Oriental Adventures Gamebook". It was a part of the "1 on 1 Adventure Gamebooks" system that was unique in that it allowed 2 readers to battle against each other by following along in two different (yet connected) books. For the purposes of this game, while there is 2 main figures, other players are allowed to join the game in additional roles, either as loyal soldiers of one of the two main figures, or possibly as characters with their own separate motivations.

I am in need of at least two players to take the roles of the two main characters, but additional players are certainly welcome!

Okay, we've gained some new players, but are looking for a few more before starting.

As far as primary roles, if someone would be willing to take the role of the powerful Lord Kenshin (and if someone wants to play a person loyal to the Daimyo, or at least in affiliation with him), that would be great.

Other characters of your own creation would be welcome as well!

Still looking to add a few more players! Hoping to launch the game either the 1st or 2nd week of December at some point. But we need more samurai loyal to the side of the Daimyo (though we might also consider adding a few more who are loyal to the Prince's side, and also some samurai (or other characters) who are loyal to neither side. :)

Our game is moving along now, and it feels like we have room to add 2 to 3 more players.

I'm looking for players who enjoy a game of strategy where two sides are pitted against each other. Players can either start out joining the exiled Prince in reclaiming his province, or join the Daimyo in beating down this uprising. Alternatively, you can start out neutral and join either side...or possibly neither.

More samurai are welcome, but I also welcome those interested in playing warrior monks (the sohei), or in the roles of merchants (information brokers) and ninjas (assassins).

Many threads are private, so that the two sides don't know what the other is doing (most of the time). If you wish to read one of the private threads, to get a further taste for the game, send me a request to join.

I'm looking for players with a focus on storytelling, not just on rolling dice and swinging swords.

Send me a PM if interested.

Our game is continuing, but the person we had playing the Prince (one of our main characters) has had to drop out.

I'm looking for someone who enjoys a game of strategy and would be willing to take over an established character from the book this game is based on. This game is still very new, so you can still certainly put your own stamp on the character, and use whatever strategy you wish to pursue to win the game.

And besides the part of the Prince, I would be willing to still consider other player characters as well.

Send me a PM if interested.
