There have been a few other incarnations as well, including a Japanese anime.<\/p>\n<p>Jonny always thought it would serve pretty well as a fantasy RPG setting, so when Katie suggested a one-shot game based on it, he heartily agreed. There will be two &#8220;adventuring parties&#8221; if you will- the immortals of the forest of Burzee, and the children of the laughing valley of Hohaho. Katie will act as a storyteller for the children, and Jonny for the immortals. The two groups will have separate adventures leading up to a unified finale. We will have pre-generated characters. We&#8217;ll be using the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gregstolze.com\/reign\/\">Reign<\/a> system, which is based on the One-Roll Engine.<\/p>\n<p>(Note from Ross: I was a player in this game but I forgot the names of all of the players.
