What it is about

Rikishi Rising is a trifold RPG about Sumo and Rikishi for the One Page RPG Jam . Can be played solo or in a group with one player acting as the Gyōji (referee). Create your rikishi and the rikishi who will oppose him in tournaments. Lead your rikishi through tournaments where he will battle the other rikishi until he becomes Yokozuna or fails miserably and leaves the life of Sumo behind. Includes Character sheet Character creation Combat rules Win or Lose conditions Combat is a hack of the Dogs in the Vineyard conflict resolution. You and your opponent will roll a variety of dice and then use those in opposition to one another until one character wins the fight. Alternative Rules D6 : Revamped the system so it can be played with D6 and a single D4 Simplified : Reworked the system for my 7 year old so that it is less of a RPG and more of a dice chucker. Cover art is The Sumo Wrestler by Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1798-1861). Layout and design by edward rathke.
