Log Horizon TRPG



The Log Horizon TRPG (tabletop role-playing game), also shortened as the LHTRPG, is based on the world of Log Horizon and was designed by 7-Sided Workshop, Kinuno Boushi, and Mamare Touno. In the game, players create Adventurers that fight the Genius monsters on the Yamato server. The first replay was released on March 31, and the rulebook was released on April 21.

A novelized TRPG session was published as a four-volume series called the Log Horizon TRPG Replay. It featured Mamare Touno as game master, and several other prolific Japanese authors as players: Keishi Ayasato (B.A.D. Beyond Another Darkness) as Seine, Yukiya Murasaki (How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord) as Wolf, Kugane Maruyama (Overlord) as HedgehogAK, and Shibamura Yuri (Marginal Operation) as Masuda-san.

Description
The Log Horizon TRPG is a tabletop RPG (like Dungeons & Dragons) designed by Touno Mamare and Kinuno Boushi. It plays somewhat similarly to games designed by F.E.A.R. such as Night Wizard!, but has a unique "Hate" mechanic that represents aggro in an MMO and requires the party to work together to survive enemy attacks.

Along with the Rulebook and Replays, 7-Sided Workshop also publishes the Celdessia Gazette, a free monthly publication that supplies extra scenarios, monsters, and world-building for LHTRPG players.
