Ryuutama TTRPG: A Song to Chase Away Our December Gloom

With so much bleak subject matter in recent featured games in this interview series, Walt and The Great Unclean One take an intermission with Kotodama Heavy Industries’ Ryuutama RPG, an Ennie Award-winner that focuses on the travails of wandering bards in the Japanese countryside.

It’s as wholesome as homemade broth, full of rascally adventures, and girded by formal shared storytelling mechanics that remind us that the journey’s the thing.

Hit play below and get Walt’s tour of this gentle and inventive confection.
