I've finally got my hands on a copy of Ryuutama, and I'm really itching to play it. However, without any experience in the actual game, I'd thought I'd throw this out and see if there was any GM willing to start up a game of it.
Ryuutama is a rules-light, Japanese translated game, focusing on all sorts of slice of life things. Set in a medieval fantasy world like Pathfinder, it's like an Oregon Trail version, focusing on travel, etc. It sounds a little odd at first, but it's a different twist than most RPG's, with one of the most unique aspects being that even the GM gets to level up as a GM.
The rules are pretty easy for players to pick up without the book, though the GM would probably need one. So is there any GM out there willing?
I've had my eye on that one for a while, but still waiting for a sale before picking it up.
I know a person who was interested in playing/running this and might be interested to give it a try myself.
Perhaps we can set something up sometime.
I’m interested in playing in a Ryuutama game. I haven’t played in one before, but the game’s style and gameplay look very unique.
A lot of people say the selling point is this phrase: it's "Miyazaki's Oregon Trail".
It is quite different from other RPG's I've looked into...which I often do just for reading material. It definitely fits the Final Fantasy style, and could easily fit into roles such as Crystal Chronicles, etc. Though I've read that combat can be deadly.
They do have the basic rules out for the travel supplement, which includes rules for caravans, ships, and such.
@Hayato Ken: I'd be very interested. Let me know what you find out.
