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.

Any thoughts on Musha Shugyo?

There was some some excitement about this game several weeks ago but I haven't seen it mentioned. I recently picked it up and am just starting to get into reading it. Has anyone played? Anything to report?

So far, while it seems okay the game feels too simple for my tastes. The Moves feel like their the same and even the example battle seemed pretty repetitive (which, to be fair, Fighting games can be but the visual stimulation and physical action often makes up for it). The example characters have no backgrounds, no personalities and their moves aren't even described beyond the basic mechanics (essentially a bunch of odd symbols). That seemed odd considering the role playing elements in the latter part of the manual. It feels more like a board game with some role playing/story telling optional elements.

I actually remember hearing about this, then...  Nothing.  I know little about it.

Yeah, it really vanished pretty quickly.
