Tenchi Muyo! RPG To Be Released By Guardians Of Order
Guardians Of Order, Inc., in association with Pioneer Entertainment (USA) L.P., announced today that it will release the Tenchi Muyo! Role- Playing Game and Resource Book in the winter of 1999.
The critically-acclaimed Tenchi Muyo! Original Animated Video (OAV) series debuted in Japan in 1992, and has been followed by a second OAV series, two television series, and three theatrical movies. Tenchi Muyo! follows the exploits of Tenchi Masaki, a curious teenager who lives at a family shrine with his father and grandfather. When he accidentally releases the legendary monster imprisoned beneath the shrine, Tenchi discovers that the 'monster' is actually a gorgeous galactic space-pirate named Ryoko. Soon, many other visitors from space invade Tenchi's shrine, including Aeka (a princess from the planet Jurai), Sasami (Aeka's cute little sister), Mihoshi (a Galaxy Police Officer), Ryo-ohki (a cat-rabbit, or cabbit) and Washu (the most clever scientific genius in the galaxy). Tenchi Muyo! offers perfect blend of comedy, action, romance, and drama, which has made it one of the most popular anime series in North America.
'The Tenchi Muyo! universe is an excellent setting for role-playing adventures and campaigns,' says Guardians Of Order President, Mark C. MacKinnon. 'The diverse cast of characters and richness of the series background serves as an ideal addition to our Tri-Stat System anime RPG line, and we are pleased to have the opportunity to work with Pioneer Entertainment in this venture. The core rules will feature the characters, settings, and plots of the OAV series, with expansions for the two television seasons and theatrical movies following throughout the year 2000. The books will also feature extensive resource and reference sections that offer value to those who do not role-play, but are fans of the show. The core rules will be released in late 1999.'
The Tenchi Muyo! Role-Playing Game and Resource Book (Product Number #07-001) will be written by Mark C. MacKinnon. Guardians Of Order is a dedicated game publishing company specializing in anime role-playing games and accessories, including the Origins Award-nominated multi-genre RPG, Big Eyes, Small Mouth, and licensed games based on Sailor Moon, Dominion Tank Police, and Demon City Shinjuku.
