Rōnin: Densetsu and The Book of Yō - Digital Editions OUT NOW!

Hi everyone.

Well, you can read the title; the digital editions of Rōnin: Densetsu and The Book of Yō are out now!

We’ve also released the digital versions of the Quick Reference Cards, Double Sided Character Sheets, Kage no Shima Map and the GM Screen—which features illustrations of the various Ways (special techniques) found in Densetsu and quotes from the book arrayed in gorgeous kanji.

DriveThruRPG Distribution

As with before, these will be released directly into your DriveThruRPG accounts. If you don’t have an account, one will be automatically created for you using the email address from your pledge (if you already have an account created with a different email, DriveThru has a merge libraries function).

We know there were some teething problems with the Starter Set stuff - people not getting notification emails, products being slow to appear in accounts, etc. It looks on the backend like the system has been updated and, from what we can tell, you should all get automated emails this time. Please reach out to us by email or through our Discord if this doesn't happen, or if there are any other issues.

Oh, and if anything's not showing up in your account, first double-check that the item was in your pledge.

Better Later

We want to thank you all for being patient, and apologise for the slight delay in getting these two books out.

We had originally planned to release them at the same time as the Starter Set that dropped earlier this month, but by release day we still hadn’t heard back from the sensitivity reader we had booked back in July. This was a problem, because getting these sensitivity reads done is something that's very important to us. Since we didn’t want to push back the entire release, we decided to release just the Starter Set, and release the main books once we heard back from the sensitivity readers and made any final changes.

For a while there it looked like we might have been ghosted by someone who is professionally sensitive, which was a bit of a blow to the old self-esteem. But thankfully, it turned out to just be a tech issue on their end. The books have now been checked over, and as a little bonus, we’d arranged a different sensitivity reader while we weren’t hearing back and we’ve had different notes come back from each! It’s always great to get a wide variety of perspectives on this stuff, so it all kind of worked out for the best, if a little slower than we’d hoped.

Tell Us About Your Games

So yeah. Sorry for the inside baseball talk, but the practical upshot is that the books are out now! Go, play them, tell us what you think!

We can be found hanging out over on our Discord server if you wanna chat to us. It’s home to some of the friendliest, most welcoming people in the RPG scene, where we talk everything from game reports and GM advice to film and anime inspiration, to what tunes we’re playing at our tables and more. Folks share OC art, fan theories and headcanon, and even just what they’re having for dinner. And of course, you get first insights into future projects and plans from SRG, some of which are very exciting.

See you there, or see you at the next update.
