The Usagi Yojimbo Role-Playing Game is an American role-playing game based on Stan Sakai's Eisner-award winning comic-book series Usagi Yojimbo. The game is written by Jason Holmgren and Pieter van Hiel, published by Sanguine Productions in 2005.
The game is set in a fantasy version of Japan in the Edo period (beginning of the 17th century) and uses a heavily modified variant of the systems used in Sanguine Productions' other role-playing games Ironclaw, Jadeclaw, and Albedo: Platinum Catalyst.
In late October 2006, a version of the game translated into Spanish was released.
Famous quotes containing the word game:
“The indispensable ingredient of any game worth its salt is that the children themselves play it and, if not its sole authors, share in its creation. Watching TV’s ersatz battles is not the same thing at all. Children act out their emotions, they don’t talk them out and they don’t watch them out. Their imagination and their muscles need each other.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
