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.

Let’s Put An Indie Spin on The World’s Greatest RPG

Todd Crapper In The Works, Kickstarters , , ,

Broken Ruler Games is proud to official announce (because let’s face it, keeping secrets isn’t exactly something we’re good at when it comes to Twitter) our next Kickstarter project… and this time it features our entry into the realm of dungeons and/or dragons.

The World’s Greatest Roleplaying Game: The Zine is a zine dedicated to supporting the 5th edition of the world’s most popular RPG but with an indie spin. Created by Jen Adcock and Todd Crapper, WGRG: The Zine looks to bring some of the great indie mechanics and story game ideas that have been circulating along the fringes of the market and merge themselves with 5e’s adaptable ruleset.

You can check out a preview of our Kickstarter page right now or learn more on the official WGRG: The Zine page and see what the fuss is about. It launches on October 29th, 2019 and we look forward to bringing you an indie spin on 5e.
