As we continue to build up to the release of both the Rehearsal Edition public playtest and the Kickstarter for High Plains Samurai in May 2017, the marketing wheels are spinning faster than the tires of a motorcycle as it whips through the streets of Yung Zhi. For your convenience, we’ve collected every podcast interview, website or blog post, and AP recordings as they are released. These are your best opportunities to discover what this game is about (other than playing it). Enjoy!

Openly Gamer Theatre Presents: The Golden Box

Date: March 2, 2017
Radio Drama/Actual Play Recording

Openly Gamer Theatre has created something truly incredible that’s a great way to learn what it’s like to play High Plains Samurai. The Golden Box is a combination radio drama/actual play recording for a previous version of HPS (something like Version 0.8 where players would roll against their own Difficulty, which has now been changed to rolling against the target’s Defence). If you’re on the fence about this game or want to hear their version of this Tarantino-esque gathering of bounty hunters all trying to acquire the same artefact in Hunan, click here and let the story begin.
