Shadow Scar - the Yokai slaying TTRPG
 |
You've seen beyond the mask and now you must make a choice: forget what you've seen or leave what you know behind.
Long ago¸ the magical land of Nakatsukuni was plunged into chaos as Yomi¸ the afterlife itself¸ rebeled against the gods¸ using the body of the dead mother goddess¸ Izanami as its host. For years¸ the gods waged war against Yomi until just fourteen years ago when¸ in a desperate bid to avert the apocalypse¸ the gods tore a hole in reality: a long shadow scar.
Izanami and her monstrous army were banished through this scar and the apocalypse was averted. But as peace came to Nakatsukuni¸ chaos rained beyond the shadow scar. In banishing their enemy¸ the gods had unleashed thousands of monstrous creatures onto the many worlds beyond Nakatsukuni.
To defend the multiverse the gods created the Shadow Scar Agency: an organization of people from many worlds trained in ninjutsu at ancient shinobi academies. Armed with high tech tools and magical artifacts¸ they travel across the multiverse to hunt down their vicious adversaries and stop them before they can wreak havoc.
Shadow Scar is a Tabletop Roleplaying Game inspired by Japanese mythology¸ the legends of ninja¸ anime like Full Metal Alchemist¸ and stories of secret agents like the Men in Black.
The Core Rulebook contains everything you need to run a one night session or a multi-year campaign.
