This is a fairly simplistic mechanical system, but a very rich world. If you love the Usagi books, this one is for you. If you love feudal Japanese history, culture, etc. This is for you. The book provides rules for playing any of the animal "races" as well as a number of different occupations. It even provides a fairly good list of characters for gamemasters to tie into the game. But where it really shines is how it gives a summary of Japanese history, politics, etc. through the Tokugawa Shogunate, as well as a breakdown on the different provinces of the nation.
If you want to run a Usagi game, this is a fun stand-alone book. If you are interested in running a historical campaign, this book provides enough maps and details to use as a sourcebook for any mechanical system.
For those unfamiliar with the books, the default era of Usagi Yojimbo is the first five years of the Tokugawa Shogunate (1600-1605)....

- For the past few days, I have soloed my way through Hellboy: The Roleplaying Game Quickstart. It is free at DriveThruRPG . The adventure, that is included, is for low level characters. It is designed for a Dungeon Master and several players. To solo it, I used a solo engine that I have been testing out. I did this adventure with five characters: the ones included with the adventure. - - As soon as the characters entered the haunted house (the inner hall), the psychic performed a séance. She was hoping to have a calm conversation with the ghost and put it to rest. Instead, all hell broke loose. Later, monsters were killed. The priest was kept busy with a prayer, a confession, and destroying twelve profane books. Mona, with the detective background, was taken down on the second floor landing. She was bleeding out and there was no time to save her because another monster came at the team. So, this adventure was very exciting and the team won. = = Game review. This quickstart is 44 page...
