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.

Well, there was the one Usagi Yojimbo game in the 90's, used...FUZION, was it?  Or Fudge?  I forget.  Anyway, then -I guess- there's an Usagi Yojimbo game that Sanguine publishes and it maybe uses the same system as Ironclaw and Jadeclaw...?  Am I right?

Quote from: Elliot Wilen;280235How is Sanguine Usagi Yojimbo different from...Usagi Yojimbo?

Are they two entirely different systems?
Yes, there are two different Usagi Yojimbo RPGs. The first one was published in the nineties by Gold Rush Games, it was written by Greg Stolze I think, and it used Fuzion light. The second one was published (I think) 2005 by Sanguine Productions, and it allegedly uses a simpler version of the system used in Ironclaw/Jadeclaw.

Is Usagi Yojimbo a serious samurai rpg? It is base on a comic isn't it?

Serious works in the sense that it was a seriously cool comic, but I haven't read it for years. I fell out of comics after my apartment was vandalized, some 15 years ago, and there went boxes and boxes of comics.

But it might be a serious rpg. My memory is fuzzy on the comics, but that samurai bunny was cool.

Yes, it's based on a comic, Usagi Yojimbo, Tokugawa Japan, but with anthropomorphics. And yes, both the comics and the RPGs are quite serious. When a friend recommended the comics, I was a little cold about the idea of samurai anthropomorphics, but I found I quite enjoyed them. I do recommend them too.

That must have hurt. I'm sorry. And yes, the comics were cool.
