Shinobigami / The Dagger that Kills Gods / Jiyugaoka RPG Day

Underneath Japan's modern veneer of skyscrapers and technology, six ancient ninja clans are locked in a cold war for the destiny of Japan. Shinobigami is an original Japanese RPG (translated into English), a story-focused game with secret roles and objectives (like Jin-roh/Werewolf). Every character is a productive member of Japanese society by day, and a ruthless ninja fighting in the shadows for their family at night. They are out to find and collect a stolen ancient sword, making friends and enemies of the other characters along the way. Shinobigami is a light PVP "frenemies" game of secrets, fast action/fights and melodrama. The theme and feel is like "Vampire the Masquerade" but with Ninjas. Shinobigami is very easy to learn (no one is expected to know how to play before the game), and will be taught as we play!
