It is set in a world where the 'NPCs' of the village--the bakers, farmers, shopkeepers and healers--set off on a wonderful adventure exploring a fantasy world together. Some people colloquially call it 'Hayao Miyazaki's Oregon Trail', because of its heartwarming (in Japanese 'honobono') feel of family anime, and its focus on traveling and wonder over combat and treasure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe characters are travelers in a world without classical fantasy wizards and warriors. Instead, the characters are minstrels, merchants, healers, hunters, artisans, farmers and nobles who decide (or were fated) to leave their towns and explore the world. Using a light rules system based on polyhedral dice where the randomness in results leads to more story development, Ryuutama provides a framework for travel-focused stories fun for adults and enjoyable for all ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game master also creates a special character with its own unique character sheet, called the 'Ryuujin'.

The GM provides advertisy that the players have to overcome, but at the same time they protect and nurture the characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExperience is gained in Ryuutama primarily by making difficult journeys to new places, far more than monster slaying.\u003cbr\u003e Magic is based on seasonal essenses, and focuses on the classic creative use of magic to overcome problems, over combat-themed spells.\u003cbr\u003e Combat is simple and fun, featuring a classic console style 'Front\/Back Line Battle Mat'\u003cbr\u003e The players at the table have a hand in creating the towns that their characters visit together, so that everyone has an interest in the next leg of the journel!\u003cbr\u003e Critical fumbles (rolling 1s on both dice) hurt, but all the characters at the table get a bonus to a future roll in return.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game was produced as a flagship project in Japan to easily get people into playing and GMing RPGs; to that end there's a lot of advice for brand new GMs, including scenario creation.

You’ll watch the attraction between them grow as you play out scenes, taking turns describing what your character says and does. Some of the things you’ll want your character to do are going to increase that attraction—and when that happens, you are going to pull a brick out from an increasingly shaky tower and place it on the top.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf the tower falls, your characters act on their feelings! You decide what happens; the rules will tell you what that means. How many bricks you’ve pulled will help determine if your love is doomed, triumphant, or something in-between.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOf course, that tower may never fall. If you make it through the final scene and the tower is still standing, the character never act on their feelings. Sometimes that’s the right thing to do.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStar Crossed takes about two hours to play. You’ll need the rules, the cards, some character sheets and a couple pencils.
