Tokyo NOVA



A Japanese-language cyberpunk action RPG with playing-card-based mechanics similar to Castle Falkenstein. There are 22 character archetypes based on the major arcana of the tarot. You choose a combination of three to make your character. The first archetype is your public identity or profession¸ the second is your true nature¸ and the third is your hobby or sideline. Archetypes include Politicians (Karisma)¸ Bodyguards (Kabuto)¸ Biker (Kaze-J)¸ Seducer (Manikin)¸ Corporate Executive (Exek)¸ Street Samurai (Katana)¸ and more. Your choice of archetypes determines your four stats: Reason¸ Passion (emotional manipulation and charisma)¸ Life (physical prowess)¸ and Mundane (influence¸ money¸ and connections). Resolution is by playing a card from your hand of 3-4 cards and adding your stat number versus difficulty number (from 2 to 30). You also have a skill level from 0 (unskilled = zero suits) to 4 (all suits). You may also draw a card from the deck rather than playing from your hand¸ but there is then a chance that you will fumble upon failure. The present edition is ""Tokyo NOVA: the Revolution¸"" with a supplement (""Grand X Cross"") in the works. There is also a related play-by-mail game on the magazine ""Discovery."" - A description from https://darkshire.net/jhkim/rpg/encyclopedia/ with kind permission of John H. Kim"
