Legend of the Five Rings, but instead of being set in a fantasy Japan expy, it\u2019s set in actual modern day Japan. Your characters just wander around Tokyo throwing chunks of jade at people until someone arrests them.

this was written by Rich Wulf, who was hired on to write the actual story of L5R as a result of it. and as such, he never finished it, even though it was super fucking good
