Motobushido: The Motorcycle-Samurai Role-Playing Game (2013)

from the designer

Motobushido is a tabletop role-playing game about brotherhood, sacrifice, and death - all part of the Motorcycle Samurai lifestyle. In this game, you and a group of your friends play a pack of motorcycle-riding samurai in the years after a great war ravaged the land - a war that your side lost. You are the last of a dying breed of warriors. As motobushi you travel a hostile world that rejects your ideals, and tell the stories of your trials and adventures.

In other words, Motobushido is a game about really sweet duels between really cool samurai who ride really awesome motorcycles. It's Sons of Anarchy starring Toshiro Mifune, underscored by Bushido Blade. Its mechanics are custom-written to emulate the core intensity of high-stakes dueling, using playing cards as the primary tool of resolution.

Join the Pack, heed the call of the Highway, and ride forth into glory as motobushi.

The PDF version has slightly different dimensions, due to being released before a design restructure to fit printer size constraints. It was intended to be printed at standard graphic novel dimensions, but the printer was switched later to one that unfortunately didn't work with that size. As such, all print versions have very slight differences in page layout, as a result of the tweaks made to fit it to a 7x10 format.
