Kunai in the Dark now out of WiP status!


Howdy folks! I think there's enough here where it's playable as a released product.

This is a hack of Blades in the Dark, but in a way that only uses rules (base rules and optional rules) from L5R RPG. It's more about how those rules are interpreted that makes this feel like a Blades hack.

The default setting involves Ryoko Owari during the Opium Wars period, but it doesn't have to be.

What makes this adventure different?

  • This adventure uses the School building rules from Path of Waves as a way to allow Players to create their own criminal organization. 
  • The Players have free choice as to what their objectives are, what organizations they wish to target, and how they want to go about it.
  • A focus is placed on Intrigue as a way to investigate or sabotage  an individual or organization before doing a Job on them.
  • The Players get to choose their "loadout" based on their school starting outfit before each Job.
  • The Players judge each other in order to say who gains or loses Honor, Glory, Status, instead of the GM "punishing" them in that way.
  • There are additional, lasting consequences for reaching low Honor, Glory, and Status ranks.
