WHAT’S IN THIS BOOK?

//TOKYO MEGACITY — Information about the area, including trends, locations, organizations, a guide to local Mythoi, unique technology, a language glossary, and more.

//BUSHI/LIFE — New player options with dozens of new theme packs and specials for playing Tokyo Megacity characters, such as an otaku Neo-Samurai, a wasteland-dwelling Yamabushi, or a kitsune power broker, as well as a rich Tokyo Street Catalog of weapons, enhancements, drones, and magical resources.

//YŌKAI DATABASE — A database of Yōkai featuring 60 pre-made challenges and power sets from the megacity, with an emphasis on supernatural creatures that prowl the streets, are integrated into cyberspace, and operate in the criminal underworld, as well as non-yōkai opponents.

//KEY PLAYERS — Ten fully fleshed-out factions and subcultures for your PCs to fight, negotiate, or join, including the sun-powered Taiyō SolarTech, the ancient Bureau of Onmyō, the magic-wielding Yakuza clans, the Oni Motorcycle Gangs, and more. Each faction comes with its own Challenges, themed kits, and catalog.

//JOBS BULLETIN — A collection of jobs (adventures) featuring five short jobs set in iconic locations in Tokyo’s megacities (a high-tech dream therapy clinic, a cyberspace bullet train, the ruins of a nanotech disaster, yōkai-infested flooded tunnels, and a gang-run bathhouse) and one full-length job – A Bridge Too Far – that pits your team against otherworldly forces and faces a transcendental transhumanist dilemma that could affect the future of the entire megacity.
