: Kuro?
: metalwhisper March 08, 2013, 06:24:42 AM
Found out about a new RPG called Kuro from Cubicle 7 that looks interesting:
http://www.cubicle7.co.uk/our-games/kuro/

Been thinking of picking it up. It looks like it combines cyberpunk with asian horror, which might be an intriguing mix, IMHO. Has anyone else tried or heard about it?

Also, speaking of horror in an asian setting, just wanted to say I can't wait to hear RPPR's Night's Black Agents game set in Tokyo. Sounds like it will be very cool.

You may have already seen it, but here's a review of Kuro on Philgamer's blog (http://philgamer.wordpress.com/2012/11/24/review-kuro-by-cubicle-7/).

Wow, this looks pretty great. Like a mixture between Eclipse Phase and The Ring. I think I might check it out as well...

Also, I too am looking forward to listening to Night's Black Agent. Ross has done a great job showing Japanese culture in his previous Yakuza games, and I also love the emphasis on tradecraft and intelligence procedures... Plus, Caleb as a player is always fun to hear.

Just ordered it also. Couldn't resist, just looks too cool. Also, not to judge the whole book by it, but that is one totally awesome cover.
