What it is about
夏草や兵共がゆめの跡 waves of summer grass : all that remains of soldiers ; impossible dreams -matsuo bash o -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Waves of Grass is a solo-journaling RPG where you take command of a young ronin who has left home in search of glory and wealth. Trapped in an unfamiliar and unforgiving land, you must work to create a map of the countryside while facing many perils. A warrior without scars is a warrior unworthy of sponsoring, so to survive -- you must fight. Inspired by haiku, samurai movies, and the paper-folding art of origami, Waves of Grass requires you to cut and fold your character sheet in lieu of traditional Hit Points. Death is tactile, and the folds and creases bloom upon the page as scars upon your ronin's ever-so-fragile body. Living on the edge of the blade; the line between life and death is razor sharp. Take care, keep your balance, and you may just earn your place among the warriors of legend...
