Shayô is kickstarting in English this spring

Devastated a long time ago by the Tenbatsu - the divine wrath - Hi-no-moto rebuilt itself over the ruins of Japan. Ruthless samurais, wandering techs looking for relics of the ancient world, blind priestesses, mad exorcists, and messengers travel across the wastelands, protecting the archipelago and the neo-shogunate from fearsome onis and mutants, but also from many other threats that lurk in the derelict remains from the past.

This spring, A.K.A Games will launch its new Kickstarter campaign for the English translation of Shayô, a tabletop roleplaying game set in a post-apocalyptic Japan that reverted back to a stripped-down form of feudal social structure. The design team behind this new popular game in France has already brought to you Qin: the Warring States, Yggdrasill, Kuro, and Keltia.

In Shayô, you will be able to play samurais, shinobis, mechanics, but also priests and magicians controlling formidable powers. Create fierce characters willing to give their life to protect their village, their daimyo, and their country. Develop your community, and try to protect it by living epic adventures in a very dangerous world full of lethal surprises.

Stay tuned for more information while we’re closing in to our launch date (spring 2016) or go to the publisher's website to follow the news: http://aka-games.com/website/?page_id=1568

Thanks for the heads up!!! I remember finding out about this game a little while ago and was hoping it would come to north america.

I'm part of the design team for Shayô and I've just discovered this thread while browsing the forum.

We're currently preparing the kickstarter campaign for the English translation, which should be launched before summer. At the same time, we're already working hard on the first supplement.

By the way, the GM's screen has just been released, and it's a gorgeous piece of artwork.

I've never heard of Shayo before, but this sort of techno-fantasy mashup has my attention...

The publisher will also release Quickstart rules at the beginning of the Kickstarter campaign, so you'll get a better idea of the game and its setting.

It's already available in French if you can understand the language.

I love what I'm seeing so far, art-wise. I can't wait to see those English quickstart rules.
