The Ronin’s Remedy

"In this solo game, you play as a masterless samurai (Ronin) racing against time." Lore You are a Ronin on a desperate mission. Your wife is gravely ill, and her only hope is a medicine brewed from three rare herbs hidden deep within the wilderness. You have only 14 days to navigate the wilds, survive deadly duels, and return home. With your skills in Kenjutsu and Iaijutsu, you must balance your physical health and mental focus (Zanshin) against the ticking clock. Every step into a new hexagon is a gamble between finding a sacred shrine or a lethal bandit. Game Details Number of Players: Solo Genre: Hex-Crawl / Combat Strategy / Solo RPG Play Time: 14 In-Game Days Main Mechanics: Hex exploration, grid movement, and turn-based tactical combat Core Mechanics The Daily Turn: Gameplay is divided into a Travel Phase (moving to adjacent hexes) and an Event Phase (resolving discoveries or scavenging for herbs). Combat Stances: Choose between Heaven (High Damage), Earth (Defense/Blocking), or Water (Speed/Re-rolls) to survive encounters with animals, bandits, and rival Ronin. Zanshin (Focus): A mental resource that can be spent to add +2 to any dice roll; however, hitting 0 Zanshin leaves you "Disoriented," forcing you to take the lowest result of 2d6 for every action. Skill Progression: Defeating enemies allows you to level up your Kenjutsu (Combat), Iaijutsu (Speed), or Survival skills. The Wife's Letter: A powerful once-per-game item that instantly restores 5 HP and 5 Zanshin while providing an automatic success on your current action.
