  • Rules and Options
    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).

  • Ninjutsu No Gu
    Ninjutsu no Gu Note de l'auteur Lorsqu'on m'a fait découvrir L5A, on m'avais dit qu'il s'agissait d'un monde fantastique inspiré du Japon féodal, avec ses samurai et ses ninja, et toute sa mythologie. Or, je me suis rapidement rendu compte que bien que les Samurai étaient décrits en profondeur et que Rokugan avait sa propre mythologie, les ninja se retrouvaient fort peu détaillés. Certes, on retrouve certaines écoles de ninja dans certains clans majeurs (le plus populaire à ce niveau étant le clan des Scorpions) et au service de l'Ombre Rampante. Toutefois, je n'étais pas satisfait par ces possibilités car je les trouvais à la fois trop restreintes et trop différentes de ma vision d'un ninja. Je ne prétends pas avoir une meilleure vision que AEG de ce qu'est un véritable ninja, mais je me trouvais en droit de créer, pour moi-même et pour de potentiels intéressés, une liste d'ajouts et d'alternatives, afin de satisfaire ma vision du ninja. Les éléments qu'il me semblait manquer aux ninja de AEG étaient les suivants : les villages cachés de ninja, indépendants à l'autorité des clans (exemple : Iga et Koga, au Japon); l'existence d'écoles génériques de ninja, pour les clans ne disposant pas déjà de leur propre école; certains outils du métier d'assassin et d'espion, qu'il s'agisse de compétences ou d'objets; un aspect mythique et religieux du ninjutsu, sans l'influence des préjugés et stéréotypes colportés par le cinéma, à partir des années 60.

  • NARUTO JUMPCHAIN by Nanon
    NARUTO JUMPCHAIN by NAnon Welcome to the world of Naruto. It’s a pretty nice place, though now that it’s been recovering from having a what basically amounts to a world war what the locals call “Fourth Great Ninja War” or something a few years ago. Some tensions might be on the rise again with what changing leaders and so on. Anyway, here’s 600 CP to pick some stuff up. Have fun. WIP 2 Backgrounds First you should probably roll your age with 1d8+10 if you want to, or you can pay up 50 CP to choose your age and gender. If you start in a village, you will be registered as a Genin of that village. If you don’t start in a village, you may try and join one but don’t expect them to trust you. Drop-In (Free): Pretty self-explanatory. No extra memories, no friends, no family, no experience, no nothing but yourself. You start with an apartment, a week’s worth of food and four sets of local clothing. You are considered a member of the village you start in. Clan-born (200 CP): At least one of your parents belonged to a clan, which bloodline you might have inherited. You start with an apartment where you and your family live, four sets of local clothing and two sets of clan-specific clothing. You are considered a member of the village you start in, though expect torabura if they discover that you belong to a clan from another village. Ninja family (100 CP): Born to an ordinary family of ninjas Normal family (50 CP): Born to an ordinary family of civilians Location You can roll 1d8 for your starting location, or choose it for 50 CP.

  • Questions/Réponses Histoire Et Civilisation
    Réponses aux questions du TCJ15 1 9° Kyû Quelles sont les 9 écoles enseignées au sein du Bujinkan ? Togakure Ryû - Gyokko Ryû - Shinden Fudô Ryû - Kukishin Ryû - Koto Ryû - Gyokushin Ryû - Kumogakure Ry ū - Gikan Ry ū - Takagi Yôshin Ry ū Que signifie Bujinkan ? Bujinkan veut dire "maison du dieu de la guerre" mais fait aussi référence au surnom donné par les chinois à Takamatsu Sensei "wusen" qui se traduit en japonais par "bujin". Dès lors le "bujinkan" est "la maison de Takamatsu", comprendre le lieu où l'on reçoit les enseignements transmis par Takamatsu Sensei. Bujin veut aussi dire "homme de guerre, guerrier" Qu'est-ce ce que le Budô Taijutsu ? Au début des années 90s, Hatsumi sensei a renommé le "Bujinkan ninjutsu" en "Bujinkan Bud ō taijutsu" pour montrer le caractère global de son enseignement. Le "Bud ō" est l'ensemble des pratiques martiales ; et le taijutsu en est son expression corporelle avec ou sans armes. Qui est Sôke Hatsumi ? Maître Hatsumi Masaaki est le fondateur du Bujinkan. C'est le Sôke ou grand maître. Il a regroupé sous l'appellation "bujinkan" les enseignements reçus de Takamatsu Sensei. Il est né le 02 décembre 1931 à Noda (Chiba Ken, Japon). Qui est Takamatsu Sensei ? A la fin du 19°siècle, Takamatsu Toshitsugu a reçu les 9 Ryûha de son oncle Toda ShinRyûken Masamitsu et de Ishitani Matsutaro. Après une vie aventureuse en Chine au début du 20°siècle (il y restera dix ans), il rentre au Japon à Kobe. Il est reconnu comme un expert en art martiaux de son vivant.

  • Ultimate Ninja/Samurai LARP Game Background: This Game Is a Live Action Role Playing (LARP) Game Based on Ninja and Samurai
    Ultimate Ninja/Samurai LARP Game Background: This game is a live action role playing (LARP) game based on Ninja and Samurai. The game is based on a game I came up with in High School, as well as on a novel that I am in the process of writing which will explain the backstory of the game. Acknowledgements: All credit for the creation of this game goes to God, my creator, without whom none of this would be possible. Part of the inspiration for this game comes from my personal experiences with God. Code of Conduct: 1. Have Fun!!!!!!!!!! 2. Don’t be overly competitive (nobody enjoys that), always remember this is just a game, even if it feels competitive at times. After each match shake the hands of your opponents in a sign of good sportsmanship (or bow while making the ram hand sign, see below). Being overly competitive detracts from the fun of the game, and people have a right to be able to play this game against people who are not competitive. If you are too competitive you may be asked to leave the game by the leader of the village, or if it is a fight between villages the other village has a right to ask you to leave for being overly competitive. In this case even if you won the battle your team still automatically loses. 3. Don’t CHEAT!!! If you are caught cheating the leader of the LARPing group could enforce penalties such as asking you to leave the group temporarily, or be suspended for a day.
