Yokai Hunters Society: A rules-light pen & paper RPG about monster hunters in Meiji Japan.

A rules-light pen & paper RPG about monster hunters in Meiji Japan. The year is 1889. After months of deliberation a Constitution is about to be approved giving absolute power to Emperor Meiji. In the last two decades there have been profound political and social reforms that have cleared the way for modernization: the abolition of feudal privileges the establishment of European-style political police and judicial systems restructuring of the army etc. But not everyone is happy with these changes. In these convulsive years yokai sightings and encounters have increased tremendously. Some blame the barbarians others accuse nostalgics of the bakufu times and a few even dare to hold His Majesty responsible. The truth is nobody knows the reason behind the uptick in sightings for sure. The Yokai Gari Kai or Yokai Hunters Society has been around for centuries gathering brave people from any social stratum willing to fight these abominations that lurk in the shadows. --- The adventures you can play range from facing the monster of the week to complex investigations or political plots to routine cleansing jobs. A horror-genre approach to the games stories is recommended with bonus points if it gestures towards the psychological horror characteristics of many Japanese films and comics. This game was created as an entry for the Goon Jam and its based on Tunnel Goons by Nate Treme. Text licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution v4.0 International.
