Ronin: The Trilogy – The Solo Samurai and Adventure Role-Playing Game

One man, one blade, one destiny to forge.

In Ronin, you don't need a Game Master (GM). You are both the protagonist and the narrator of your own story. You embody a disgraced or wandering bushi, traversing the roads of a feudal Japan where danger lurks at every turn. From sword duels in the rain to mystical encounters with forest spirits, every decision is yours.

The concept? A game system based on encounter tables, dice rolls, and a logbook where you record your character's exploits and scars.

Why Ronin is a unique experience:

• The Complete Trilogy: This volume brings together the entire adventure, allowing you to follow your character from their first steps as a wanderer to the peak (or fall) of their personal quest.

• "Journaling" System: The game encourages you to keep a journal. Using prompts (narrative starters), you develop your own scenes. It's the perfect tool to stimulate imagination and writing.

• Tactical and Deadly Combat: Confrontations are quick and dangerous. A bad choice or an unlucky dice roll can end your journey. The tension is real with every draw of the sword.

• Total Immersion: The game perfectly captures the aesthetic of Kurosawa films and samurai manga. The atmosphere is both melancholic, poetic, and unforgiving.
