About Longshot City:
Longshot City is the super heroic roleplaying game where you and your team of baddy-bashing buddies kick seven shades of JUSTICE out of world ending villains, all in a lavishly illustrated 70-page book (and is fully compatible with its older cousin Troika!)
With just this book and a couple of six-sided dice you'll be able to provide years of comic-book adventures for you and your friends.
Longshot City, the place, is a dangerous town and the players are protecting it.
Build your own hero team from a huge selection of Archetypes and Origins, covering almost anything you can think of!
Are your a trenchcoat mage who got their powers from being sucked into a work of fiction?
Or maybe you're a parasitic powersuit from outer space?
And if your imagination is bigger than one book, fear not! There are simple guidelines on how to make more.
The rules are based on the classic tried and tested science-fantasy RPG, TROIKA!, so you know it's good!
Longshot City features:
- 36 player character Archetypes ranging from ace reporters to superpets. The rules support almost any kind of hero you can think of.
- 36 hero Origins, like experimental clones and one-way time travellers! With the archetypes this makes 1,296 possible combinations of hero.
- 24 arch-nemesis each using our innovative Motives & Methods system. A powerful tool for making and running a tense campaign.
- 3 procedural campaign structures you can follow to get running a super hero game TODAY.
- Rules on how to patrol Longshot City and bump into trouble with barely any prep. Players can look for trouble and the GM can take a break!
- A Conspiracy Board system to keep track of your villains, their relationships, plans, and methods. Never forget an NPC grudge again!
- Escalation rules! Set the villains plans in motion and see if the heros can foil them before they come to fruition.
- A sectioned map of Longshot City for you to explore.
- KO Tables! Heroes don't drop dead, they get kidnapped, have character altering flashbacks, or get an awesome grimdark relaunch.
- Nameless Grunt creation! Every villain needs an army.
- Inventions, vehicles and hideout creation system! Be the super-scientist of your dreams.
- Game system based on the best selling science-fantasy RPG, TROIKA!, with suggestions on how an enterprising GM might combine them.

The mighty castles and sprawling cities of Rokugan are merely tiny islands of civilization in the vast wilderness that surrounds and envelops the Emerald Empire. From the dark and haunted depths of the Shinomen Mori forest to the sharp and icy peaks of the Great Wall of the North mountains, these ancient and wild lands hold countless dangers for the unwary. Only the wise samurai of the Dragon Clan embrace their writ to live in the wilds, and create the bridge between this world and civilization.
Writ of the Wilds explores the wilds of Rokugan, as well as the mysterious Dragon clan who makes these lands their home. In this sourcebook for the Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game, you will find exciting new information on gaming in the Rokugani wilderness and the territories of the Dragon, including:
Tales of the strange beings and spirits that haunt the Shinomen Mori, and the various cultures and species that live outside of Rokugan’s society.
Rules for the Dragonfly minor clan, plus new schools, kiho, kata, and rituals designed to bring the monastic culture of the Dragon to your game. You also gain access to rules for playing new non-human species such as Shinomen Nezumi, Naga, and Tengu, and also playing members of the Yobanjin Groups who live in the Great Wall of the North.
A wealth of information on temples and monasteries, and GM support on how to include these settings in your game.
