Tokyo Roleplaying Society

Announcing Jiyugaoka Game Day V!

JGD is geared toward folks living on the south-westerly side of the Great Urban Plain, but any and all are welcome.

The JGD venue is, as always, "Irish Pub Clann", about 30 seconds from Jiyugaoka Station. Clann is free for us to use as long as we buy food and drink (both of which are delicious and very reasonably priced).

Just like on previous game days, we'll have a single 4-hour-ish session with the slot scheduled from 5:30 pm to 10 pm (that’s a 4-hour session with 15 minutes for set-up and 15 minutes for game overflow). We’ll have 3 games running simultaneously.

“Grief. Corruption. Dread.”

Step into a night of unsettling horror roleplaying with The Magnus Archives, powered by the Cypher System.

What begins as a simple investigation quickly twists into something stranger and far more disturbing. Inspired by the award-winning podcast, this one-shot blends mystery, folk horror, and psychological tension, drawing players into difficult choices about what they’ll face and what they’ll turn away from. Perfect for both first-time investigators and seasoned fans.

Tone: Unease • Tension • Grotesque imagery

Content Warnings: insects/swarms, body horror, grief and denial, child endangerment themes, animal harm.

(Safety tools and a consent checklist will be provided—players may set lines/veils before play.)

What to Bring:
• A d20 (essential) and a d6 (helpful; extras will be available).
• Pen/pencil for character sheets and notes.
• An open mind and a steady heart for an eerie night of investigation.

Someone is bombing border colonies with a deadly mutagenic pathogen.

Professor Cléas and Doctor Tajami, you believe you can develop a vaccine against this plague, if you can only study it. Securing samples is a dangerous proposition, however, as all colonies that have suffered outbreaks have been subsequently quarantined and nuked.

That’s where you come in, Captain Dagný. Your supply ship—the Apsara— received a coded transmission from the scientists’ colleague, microbiologist Chad McLaren—a border bombing has occurred on the nearby mining moon of LV-187.

Myra, as an academic android assigned to Tark-Weyland, you hacked the station’s inventory and “misplaced” a cargo palette of reserve medicinal supplies— as well as a refurbished Pauling MedPod. With these items, the team will be able to analyze the pathogen and hopefully treat any survivors.

Aware the others have little in the way of finances, Dagný, you’ve agreed to take the others to LV-187 in exchange for any leftover supplies and the medpod when the job is done.

Your group plan is simple—bypass the authorities, offer relief to any survivors, gather xenobiological samples, make a holographic record of the incident, and get out of there before the nukes come.
