Welcome to RŌNIN, a rules-lite tabletop RPG set in a mythical, samurai-inspired world. Based on the MÖRK BORG system, RŌNIN is a game of honour, combat, and adventure. In a world ravaged by an eternal eclipse and overrun by supernatural creatures known as yōkai, players take on the roles of forgotten ronin, shinobi, onmyoji, and more as they seek to restore their honour and defeat the forces of darkness.

With intuitive mechanics and a focus on fast-paced, cinematic action, RŌNINis the perfect game for both new and experienced players. Our unique system of honour, resurrection, parrying, and survival adds depth and strategy to combat, while our tenets of bushido and other character-specific honourtenets offer a range of options for roleplaying and exploration.
