Maximum quantity available reached.

Ryuutama is an RPG developed in Japan by designer Atsuhiro Okada. It is set in a world where the "NPCs" of the village, the bakers, farmers, shopkeepers and healers, set off on a wonderful adventure exploring a fantasy world together.

Some people colloquially call it "Hayao Miyazaki's Oregon Trail", because of its heartwarming (in Japanese "honobono") feel of family anime, and its focus on traveling and wonder over combat and treasure. The characters are travelers in a world without classical fantasy wizards and warriors. Instead, the characters are minstrels, merchants, healers, hunters, artisans, farmers and nobles who decide (or were fated) to leave their towns and explore the world.

Using a light rules system based on polyhedral dice where the randomness in results leads to more story development, Ryuutama provides a framework for travel-focused stories fun for adults and enjoyable for all ages.

Wonderful game

All books arrived safely and quickly(expedited shipping). When I saw Ryuutama was in stock I had to buy it, I've always played it with the pdf copy but having it in physical is so nice and let's me enjoy the art.

It's suitable for younger players or rpg newbies, but even with more advanced jtrpgs like fabula ultima or western trigs like dnd I always find myself coming back to this game.

It has a focus on the travelling aspect and treats the topography as a challenge to the players and isn't as focused on the combat (it's jrpg like, turned based and the field is divided into front line fighters and back row). There are already a heap of reviews that go into its aspects in more detail. It has a sinple and cute lore to it, but largely it is up to the gm and the group to fill in the settings and towns.

I find it easy to home-brew in, so I think it's a very accessible game.
