A Neon Samurai RPG. "Welcome to NewEdo, where fifty million souls can believe things into being, and superstition is a smart insurance policy. What do you want everyone to believe about you?"
NewEdo is a game designed for players who love the character creation and customization process. Set in a city where a thousand years of tradition have come into conflict with the rapid pace of modern life, NewEdo's core theme is change.
What people believe should be has a large impact on the setting of NewEdo. And this also influences the use of your own personal Legend.
Character Creation: with 10 Lineages (your physical form) based largely on creatures from Japanese lore, and 21 Paths (your job or role in the game, which affects your politics as much as it affects your abilities), NewEdo gives you a broad foundation on which to build your perfect character
A fluid role system
that doesn’t constrain character options make for an infinitely
iterative character creation process. Players are encouraged to build a
Legend around their characters and are rewarded for actions and
decisions that bolster that Legend, regardless of that Legend’s
morality. NewEdo also uses a unique gameplay system called the Fate
Card. A character’s Fate Card starts out almost blank, but as the game
is played, the FC fills up with potential outcomes influenced by past
decisions. You can’t avoid your Fate, but you can certainly affect the
shape it takes.
Character abilities derived from their Skills,
Path, magic, and technology, create synergies depending on the choices
the players at your table make. Everyone can create a unique badass, out
for glory and gold, but there are ways to leverage the systems so your
group’s characters are stronger as a unit or team than they would be
just as a collection of individuals. This collective underlying ruleset
is intended to foster stronger table dynamics. Of course, it may just
add drama…
Ultimately, NewEdo isn’t a simple game, though it has been designed for ease of play.
