Hey, we’re a Facebook group now! Look for “Tenra Bansho” in a Facebook search. So, as the final bits of editing of the game draw to a close before layout begins in full, I find myself wanting to post more about the game but without the time to do so. The classic conundrum of, “I [...]

In between finishing up the last few sections of the book pre-layout, I’ve been running games of Tenra, both locally for my own game groups, and at conventions and the like. It’s been fun, but also a real lesson for how the game should be run, played and some pitfalls that can happen. Here’s a [...]
Turning Up The Heat…
Posted: 28th January 2007 by Diamond Sutra in Characters, General, Rules, TranslationI just noticed that I haven’t posted an update for quite a few weeks. Since the previous post, I’ve run the game about eight times (all one-shots) with five different scenarios. Solidifying the rules in play has been a real rewarding experience. I’ve had ideas for areas that needed “fixing” for the English edition, but [...]

Posted: 12th September 2006 by Diamond Sutra in Characters, Rules, SettingSo, in the last rather long-winded post I went into some minor detail about the kind of setting and game that my fictional gaming group came up with together for this Tenra Bansho scenario focusing on ninjas. So this time around we’re going to make up characters. We decide that even though everyone’s in this [...]
Making a Ninja Campaign: Post One: Theme and Characters
Posted: 10th September 2006 by Diamond Sutra in Characters, General, RulesSo as production of the game continues, Andy becomes more and more familiar with this lovely beast, Tenra Bansho Zero. The game is incredible in setting and theme and rules, and could seriously sell itself. But to make sure I make this English release into the best version of this game EVER, and to competently [...]
