Folks that prefer a more traditionalist style or want to get some extra content should check out Mists of Akuma: Anniversary Edition!
Not sure if this brutal world is right for you or your group? Uncertain the PCs can survive in Soburin? Check out the free A Village Corrupted quickstart adventure! You might think 50 pages is a lot for a one-shot—and you are correct. The adventure itself is only a half-dozen or so pages, and the bulk of the page count are the pregenerated Mists of Akuma iconics (which come in both fancy and simple black and white so ink cartridges don’t break printing them out).
This 365 page urban sandbox mega adventure takes characters from 3rd to 12th level in an epic campaign of discovery, intrigue, and action that takes place across all of Sanbaoshi!

Honorable Wills is only available for D&D 5E, but it is an excellent and robust adventure nearly 100 pages in length taking the party from Hofuku Prefecture into the depths of depravity in Uragi, uncovering the misdeeds and righting the dishonor of the wealthy Torimu Clan.
This is the second module of Mists of Akuma‘s second wave of adventures (the epic double-length Honorable Wills being the first) took a few rounds of playtesting to work out just the right way to adopt the narrative of the classic film to tabletop play. It’s not as simple as Seven Samurai however, tying in one of the Mists of Akuma Iconics (Tomoe Masamune, the Crimson Blade) and several other memorable heroes to accompany the PCs, helping train the farmers with weapons and armor to defend the village of Noru against a power-armored villain and scores of bandits.
More is on the way!
The Adventurer’s Handbook (collecting all the information any PC in Soburin might need!) is out for D&D 5E and all of our adventures are gradually becoming available for Shadow of the Demon Lord–although you can just get them all at once now with Trade War. 😀
Keep you eyes peeled because we’ve got BIG plans for the (funded and in progress) Imperial Matchmaker mega-adventure releasing in fall 2019!
Do you have a hankering for pyrrhic tales of grim determination and woeful outcomes? We want you to write for Mists of Akuma! Contact me with your pitch (email preferred–mike dot myler dot adventures |at| gmail dot com) and we’ll see if you’re a solid fit. 🙂
