Ryuutama: Natural Fantasy Roleplay by Kotodama Heavy Industries

• SYSTEM: Ryuutama
• PRODUCT TYPE: digest sized core rulebook
• RETAIL PRICE: $35
• OTHER RELATED RPG NEWS: played it review
• DESCRIPTION: Back in print. I GMed this virtually and it is a favorite rules lighter system with enough depth to support a campaign. PCs are travelers in a world without classical fantasy wizards and warriors. Instead, they are minstrels, merchants, healers, hunters, artisans, farmers and nobles who decide (or were fated) to leave their towns and explore the world. Adventures are travel-focused with villages and villagers featuring strongly alongside the journeys in between. The GM also creates a special character with its own unique character sheet, called the Ryuujin. The dragon Ryuujin watches over the other characters and can provide limited spells and abilities to support or further challenge them but mostly stays offscreen. Its abilities focus on one of four areas the GM wants the campaign to focus on such as combat or intrigue.

I second this. One of my kids is way into the Last Kids on Earth cartoon and I was thinking MCC would be a fun way to run a wacky post-apocalyptic campaign. I own and love DCC already.

For those wanting info on MCC...

I recommend skipping it and using the Umerica supplements (Umerican Survival Guide, Umerica Unleashed, and more) for DCC. They're "more compatible" and frankly have better rules and character options if you're looking to do "Gamma World-ian post-apoc".

I heartily recommend it. Goodman Games makes great stuff.
