Honorbound - Introduction
During the waning years of the 15th century, many of the peasants in the countryside and the rural villages began to feel the mighty weight of taxation to support the various daimyo's military establishments. With many of the local samurai afield, it wasn't long before the hushed whisperings of uprising began to spread. The Ikkō-ikki, a resistance purportedly operating for the common people, rose up organically across the provinces of Japan. Craftsmen, peasants, monks, ronin, bandits, sorcerers, and even ninja are rumored to be among its ranks.
Meanwhile, the Oda and Chōsokabe clans are having a major dispute. Due to each clan's holdings and respective alliances, the looming war could threaten the uneasy peace that covers the realm. Do you side with the masses, back one of the leading clans, or attempt to bring peace to the land? Will you exploit the instability or defend the reign of the shogun? Or will you sit back and watch the world burn?

p.s. An example character is soon to come!

Honorbound Campaign Announced!
Hello friends and welcome to the blog for our first GURPS Campaign! Unless anyone has any major objections, I've opted to call this first iteration "Honorbound". I've also begun creating a wiki page (http://honorbound.wikia.com/wiki/Honorbound_Wiki) which you are free to edit.
Honorbound is a GURPS 4th Edition story set in feudal Japan in a world in which magic and myths are real. In the 16th century, Japan was a land with no strong central authority. The Ashikaga Shogunate family had two factions, each supported by major clans. Warring armies periodically devastated the capital, Kyoto. Only the eastern region of Honshu remained calm under the Hojo clan. Elsewhere, taxes rose steadily to finance the cost of the clan armies and the common peasant stuffered. With popular discontent brewing, these were dangerous times!
I'll soon be posting some character templates and after that a sample character or two. In case you haven't found this gem yet, I'll refer you to GURPS Lite. In the beginning, we'll primarily be using the Lite rules and then ease into the full rules.
Take care!
