This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Journey with us on the Way of the Yakuza!

Organizations initially created for the protection of their communities, the Yakuza have evolved into a unique culture fiercely loyal to their traditions. Easily identified by their colorful tattoos, Yakuza brethren are a hard, violent lot given to drink, gambling and lechery. They practice extortion, engage in smuggling, sell powerful narcotics, and regularly force women into prostitution. Yet, despite their numerous faults, they view themselves as folk heroes, warriors fighting for the common man against the dangers of the world.

Way of the Yakuza presents a wealth of information for players and Game Masters alike. This 32 page PDF contains an extensive overview of the Yakuza culture, Yakuza character options (including archetypes, traits, feats, spells, enchanted tattoos and more), and a new method for creating unique Yakuza-gang stat blocks. Additionally, for GM's looking for a quick adventure, there is even a Yakuza controlled mountain village, complete with map and adventure seeds. Whether you want a Yakuza centric campaign, or just want to add flavor to your setting, this book has something for you.
