RONIN
A downloadable playset
“RONIN” is an honour-bound warrior playset for the PARAGON system. You will need a copy of AGON to play this game. Learn more at agon-rpg.com
Premise
You, samurai, have lost your master. They might have died without an heir, they might have been assassinated or you might have killed them. Whatever their end, you are still here. Rather than taking your own life, as people believe a loyal warrior should, you’ve chosen to live on as a ronin.
As swords for hire, you walk the earth. You strive to keep to the warriors code, called Bushido, and gather honour to your name. One day, you hope to find peace and erase the shame cast upon you. Will you find a new life, will you forever wander, or will you die a warriors death trying?
What is new in RONIN
RONIN is an honour-bound warrior playset for the PARAGON system. It contains rules for a game about a band of virtuous warrious, drifting from town to town.
On their way they will strive to do the virtuous thing in their encounters with various factions, from powerful lords to seasoned farmers and from refined courts to mysterious spirits. Striving to create a new life for themselves, they will act honourably in the hope of earning respect and erasing the burden of their shame.
RONIN provides new material for guiding principles, the values of bushido, shame and finding peace among five factions, and it adapts various aspects of AGONs ruleset to better fit the world of ronin. Play anything from a Kurosawa-movie to a brooding anime saga of swords and samurai. Gather honour to your name, act like a true warrior and find peace.

love the look of this. can we get this in 'Pages' format? thanks so much.
Thanks for your interest! Maybe in the future? I don't really know when I will have time to get back to this, and if I do, I will probably want to take it from a playset to a full game using the new SRD. That's quite a project, so I'll need to find a couple of months.
ah ok! no worries and thanks for Ronin. will we get new Ronin stuff in the future?
There are a couple of adventures I've been meaning to finish!
