Tokyo Roleplaying Society

Underneath Japan's modern veneer of skyscrapers and technology, six ancient ninja clans are locked in a cold war for the destiny of Japan. Shinobigami is an original Japanese RPG (translated into English), a story-focused game with secret roles and objectives (like Jin-roh/Werewolf). Every character is a productive member of Japanese society by day, and a ruthless ninja fighting in the shadows for their family at night. They are out to find and collect a stolen ancient sword, making friends and enemies of the other characters along the way. Shinobigami is a light PVP "frenemies" game of secrets, fast action/fights and melodrama. The theme and feel is like "Vampire the Masquerade" but with Ninjas. Shinobigami is very easy to learn (no one is expected to know how to play before the game), and will be taught as we play!

Welcome to the unit, soldier. You’ve just been drafted into a war that no one’s thought would happen. Well, they were wrong, and here we are. No glory to be had here. Just boots in the mud, rifles in hand, and a vague promise that maybe, maybe, we'll solve all this mess and take back what was taken from us.
This is Twilight: 2000 — a gritty, tactical military RPG set five minutes into the future. You’ll play resistance fighters trying to hold the line, hit back, and stay alive against an enemy that is on his last legs, but not quite beaten yet. You are here to deliver the final strike.
Expect guerrilla raids, convoy ambushes and tense negotiations with people who’d rather shoot you than talk. Don’t worry if you’re new to Twilight: 2000 — we’ll gear you up, run you through the basics, and dump you behind enemy lines like everyone else. You’ll either adapt fast, or you'll have a new character sheet in hands in no time.
Suit up. We roll at 1730.

This game is military-themed and set in a version of our real world, so things might get dark (but never gratuitous) at times.

Hello everyone,

April's Jiyugaoka RRG was a roaring success. Great games, great players, all at a great venue with great food and drink. Thanks to everyone who made the inaugural JGD such a great event.

So… it is with even greater excitement that we announce the second Jiyugaoka Game Day!

The venue is "Irish Pub Clann", about 30 seconds from Jiyugaoka Station. Clann is free for us to use as long as we buy food and drink (both of which are reasonably priced) there.

Just like last time we'll host a single 4-hour-ish session with the slot scheduled from 5:30 pm to 10 pm (that’s a 4-hour session with 15 minutes for set-up and 15 minutes for game overflow). We’ll have 3 games running simultaneously just like last time.

The games/GMs are already set for the event (see below), but we're still exploring the possibility of expanding both the number of tables and the number of sessions for future game days, in which case, we'd open slots for more GMs and hold signups just like with Otsuka RPG Day.

The games and GMs for this game day are:

Looking forward to seeing you in Jiyugaoka again!
