Game: Wargame - Rising Sun boardgame Run-Time: 90-120 mins Players: 4-5, playing with the following clans: KOI, LOTUS, TURTLE, DRAGONFLY, BONSAI ( core box only ) Start Date: To be determined, discussion with players. I have been dabbling with trying to convert my copy of Rising Sun wargame into a Roll20 playable version. Currently I have built-out most of the assets and player tokens/actions, there is still some work left to go, so this game will be help define the player tools. I need to test out the system with real players, so I am looking to host a game for a group of 4-5 players. Ideally you will have some experience with wargames and Rising Sun in particular, but I am open to new players joining. For those new to Rising Sun here you will find the WIP rulebook of the core box ( be warned, though few, there are some minor and at least a couple major changes to the published rules from the WIP document in the link. I and any players who own a copy of the game will endeavour to let every player know exactly what the official rules are before getting bogged down in the game ). I will be going over each phase of the game as we go. Rising Sun is set in Feudal Japan. It is the time of Shintos, Bushis, and Daimyo. The political situation hangs in a tense balance, as alliances are formed and broken and the threat of war is ever-present. Ancient clans call upon mythical Japanese Monsters to assemble with their forces, and when diplomacy fails, they’re ready to go into battle. Rising Sun is a game about politics, tradition and war This game is very political, it is driven by subterfuge and manipulation. Knowing when and who to ally with, or when to take a certain card, or even where and how to place your forces is key to victory. Negotiation forms the centre of many tactics in Rising Sun, so do not believe that you can tank it all on your own without a just little communicability. [though it is possible, do not let me stop you if that is the strategy you are going for ;) ] If you have any questions please feel free to ask them. My hope is that players will provide feedback on the experience as well as suggestions on what can be changed or added to the game to strengthen the experience. This is a free to play game. I own a complete kickstarter collection of Rising Sun.
