Gin No Jūken: The Silver Bayonet in Bakumatsu Japan
« on: 16 January 2022, 05:04:41 PM »
Had another go at a 19th century Japanese 'reskin' of The Silver Bayonet. This was the second solo scenario but the ruined chapel is a very intact inn, the gravestones are lanterns, the revenants are tsukumogami (household objects that have become animated), the 2 vampires are a hari-onna and a yuki-no-onna.

This scenario was a lot tougher, and we ended up trying to grab clues while running away from the monsters. And quite a few recovery rolls to make afterwards. Only played a few games of each type so far, but it seems the solo games are more challenging than the PvP ones, where so far, the monsters have been pretty marginalised by the player teams.

The background to this alternative setting can be found here, which is where I posted before realising that the Silver Bayonet stuff belongs in this section  :)

No extra rules have been added, it's just a case of using different terrain and figures for the original stat lines.

Bakufu investigators arrive to see some fairly irate household objects:


A particularly fierce umbrella attacks:


The hari-onna is more than a match for the minie rifle...:


The commander decides that discretion is the better part of valour and runs away pursued by 2 women with crazy hair. But then, wearing a headdress like that, who is he to talk?

That's brilliant -- very well executed reskin!
Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow
