Your RTJ can be as simple or as detailed as you like. As all new games should expect a little attrition early on, I'm not limiting the number of starting players, though beyond the start of play I would like the party to settle on around 4 members.

We will be starting at level 1, though levelling will be fast-tracked to an extent, with generous XP awards for successful endeavours, good role-playing, and completion of quests and adventures, as well as the usual methods of gaining XP available to characters in the Chanbara system. PbP is very slow, so it is important that there is an ongoing sense of progress. You will of course not be 10th level after just a few adventures, but you can expect to level regularly as we progress.

Finally, I run my games with no mercy for poor play or unlucky rolls, preferring an organic development of gameplay to deus ex machina shielding of PCs. As a result, character death may be commonplace, especially at the very beginning. However, I do not set out to butcher PCs. All I can promise is that you will be treated fairly in accordance with the game rules.

Thanks for your interest.
