The Second Daugther - One | Two | Three | Four | Five | Six | Seven | Eight | Nine | Ten

(08-13-1998) This campaign is currently in abeyance (again) due to Tom's massive deadline time crunch.

Nihongi is my Micea-system Japanese / Samurai campaign (currently running) with the Girl Team. It is set in late Warring States Japan (1715's). Our heroes are a band of women Samurai -- their family has had only daughters for generations and has been forced to make do with the girl-children being raised as men -- who have been summoned home to resolve a mystery: all of the men in their home valley have disappeared.

Previous Nihongi adventures were The Wrath of Shoku-Dosha and The City of Ghosts, which were Boy Team adventures.

The action is set (mostly) in the mountains of Shinano province in north-eastern Honshu.

Here's a copy of the Character Sheet we use (in Excel97).

Girl Team is composed of:

Melissa Giffords Ishikawa Yoshisune, age 16 (twin), ("fire twin") Squeaker
Betsy Hasman Ishikawa Toritomo, age 16 (twin), ("water twin") Princess
Terry Flores Ishikawa Yoshisuni, age 19, Nature Girl
Ellen Bennett Midori Pittising, age 21, Cousin
Annita Harlan Ishikawa Yasumori, age 21, Eldest
Bonnie Hudsick Taira Saito, age 34, Raven
Menachem Turchick Zatoichi the blind mendicant, age 42.
Sanjo - a ronin that joined our heroes at Temuzen Shrine on the Tokaido Road just west of Edo. Expert with the bow.
Gorobei - Sanjo's partner, another rootless wandering mercenary. A spear- and bow-man.
Rocky - a large and dissolute swordsman that took up with Zatoichi due to the good food to be had.
