This was the very first version of the Bushido system that went on to be published by Phoenix and F.G.U.
In Bushido, the Players take roles as members of various professions and wander through Nippon. The overall campaign is organized by a Game Master whose imagination is only the starting point for many hours of intriguing and entertaining enjoyment.
The Heroes of Nippon is the player's guide and contains the rules for creating characters, combat, and magic. It features an Attribute system which allows a character to be tailored to a player's specifications.
The Land of Nippon is the referee's guide and contains rules of Encounters, Battles, and other things necessary lo the campaign.
Bushido uses pencil and paper, six and twenty-sided dice, a Game Master, and as many players as will brave the perils of Nippon.
