High Plains Samurai

Your Feedback Is Requested… for High Plains Samurai’s Second Edition

Todd Crapper High Plains Samurai, In The Works , , , ,

Greetings, qi warriors. Six years ago, the High Plains Samurai Roleplaying Game core rulebook and the ENnie-award winning High Plains Samurai: Legends guidebook entered the game atmosphere. Since this game was first launched, I’m happy to say it’s become our most successful and beloved game to ever launch from Broken Ruler Games. In that time, I’ve heard from numerous fans from around the world and played hundreds of additional hours of both campaigns and one shots at conventions and for actual play broadcasts. Time that has provided some clarity and new ideas. 

That’s right… we’re working on a second edition of High Plains Samurai. 

Currently titled High Plains Samurai: The Far Reaches, this will not only involve some tightening of the mechanics and updating the timeline of the One Land but we’re also looking to provide new adventure options and storyline ideas to take HPS in new directions. To help us reach this lofty objective, we would love to read your feedback on the original version of the game as well as your initial thoughts on some concepts under development for the new edition. If you would be so kind as to fill out the survey at the link below, your input could help make the next rendition of tabletop roleplaying’s only game about gunslingers, barbarians, samurai, gangsters, and steampunk in a post-apocalyptic world of superpowers ever better.

Thank you for your time and for continuing to be a part of the One Land.

We were once a beautiful world, young and fertile. Nothing but hope and opportunity lay before us. We were the chosen ones of our creators and lived a lavish lifestyle. Until the All-Father revealed his jealousy of the love his children gave to their creation and not him. His wrath nearly wiped us out. Now we are the enslaved and oppressed in the Five Cities, or those risking it all in the Wastes. But there are some who call no place home. They wander between all places and live by their own rules. Will any of them rise up to become the mysterious heroes we need

Welcome to the Tales From The One Land

As we prepare for the full launch of the High Plains Samurai Roleplaying Game, tales of intrepid heroes fighting back against tyranny have already begun to spread. Wanderers riding the Salvation tell of a lone warrior defending his favourite bar from a local gang seeking access to the tunnel running under Serenity Falls.

Tales From The One Land is a series of actual play recordings (both audio and video) revealing the action-packed excitement of HPS. Each session provides new players creating their own personal exploits with original characters and improvised storytelling to reveal one shared version of the One Land… a kind of HPS cinematic universe. For our first release, Todd and Vince (editor on HPS) sit down for a Session 0 to create a lead character, discuss the mechanics of the game, lay down some formats, and create some key initiatives. Enjoy and keep your eye on the High Plains Samurai website for future instalments.
