Two New Ronin Denetsu Expansions on the Way for the Rōnin RPG

Two new expansions are on the way for Slightly Reckless Games’ tabletop roleplaying game,Rōnin.

Entitled Donetsu and The Book of Yo, these books addnew material and nuance to the rules-light, dark fantasy Rōnin RPG. They allow players to explore the myths of Kage no Shima … or face its horrors.

The 200-page Donetsu contains mini-adventures, new character classes, ancient weapons, mystical weapons and relics, new armour, landmarks and even cultural events.

Meanhile, the Book of Yu is possessed with more arcane, supernatural themes. It includes 200 pages of spooky stuff, such as rituals, rules for corruption and transformation, encounters in the land of the dead, cursed artifacts, forbidden texts, and mounts and companions.

This new Kickstarter campaign will also include a number of add-ons, including the Rōnin TTRPG starter set; this includes a rulebook, pre-made characters, battle maps, custom dice and an exclusive adventure, all contained in an attractive box. Well worth a look.

A striking image features the cover of the tabletop roleplaying game Rōnin, set against a bold red background. The artwork depicts a samurai character in a dynamic pose, wielding a sword, with a stylized logo of the game prominently displayed above. Below the character, descriptive text highlights that Rōnin is a rules-lite tabletop RPG focused on mythical, samurai-inspired themes of honor and combat.

A dynamic illustration features a fierce female character wielding a weapon, poised in an action stance, with flowing black hair and a determined expression. She is depicted against a backdrop of swirling red brush strokes, suggesting movement and intensity, while the ground is splattered with red, hinting at a dramatic confrontation. The text "COMING SOON TO KICKSTARTER" is prominently displayed, emphasizing the upcoming launch of the new expansions for the Rōnin tabletop RPG.

Every Saturday. Just the Headlines. No Fluff.
