Sengoku: Chanbara Roleplaying in Feudal Japan is a role-playing game set in 16th-century Japan.
Sengoku comes as a single book. It uses the Fuzion rules system, [1] which is highly rated for flexibility but can be difficult to learn. There are detailed descriptions of society, weapons, language, locations and such, a comprehensive filmography, and quotations scattered throughout the book. The tone can be realistic, heroic as in Akira Kurosawa films, or super heroic as in many manga comic books.
Sengoku was created by Anthony J. Bryant and Mark Arsenault, [2] and published by Gold Rush Games in 1999.
A revised edition of Sengoku was published in 2002. [1]
The original version was reviewed in Knights of the Dinner Table Magazine #38.
The revised edition was nominated for the 2002 Grog d'Or Awards in the category Best RPG.[ citation needed ]

The Monster Manual is the primary bestiary sourcebook for monsters in the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, first published in 1977 by TSR. The Monster Manual was the first hardcover D&D book and includes monsters derived from mythology and folklore, as well as creatures created specifically for D&D. Creature descriptions include game-specific statistics, a brief description of its habits and habitats, and typically an image of the creature. Along with the Player's Handbook and Dungeon Master's Guide, the Monster Manual is one of the three "core rulebooks" in most editions of the D&D game. As such, new editions of the Monster Manual have been released for each edition of D&D. Due to the level of detail and illustration included in the 1977 release, the book was cited as a pivotal example of a new style of wargame books. Future editions would draw on various sources and act as a compendium of published monsters.
