Riddle of Sengoku
Hi there,
RoS seems to me well suited to historical Japanese gaming. Passions, loyalties, emphasis on skill and tactics in combat and so on.
Has anyone tried anything like this? Coming up with background packages, weapon stats, new skills?
Magic would probably also need some adjusting, but it still strikes me as an obvious port.
Thoughts?

Yes. In fact, this was my covert agenda in suggesting that Eastern materials should be eliminated from the current crop of supplements. A second incarnation focussed on the East might be well worth doing.

Completely agree!
I think ROS could do the Samurai game setting really well.

Ah. Nice setting...one of the best "historical" looks at Japan and samurai. System sucks, though.
Sengoku TRoS would be cool.
