Akemi, played by Roxanne, is the only non-ninja of our party. She was raised within the Empire, believing Ninja were the enemy and sought to aid the Emperor's crusade against them with her talents. However, an accident and a chance meeting have cast doubts on her beliefs.
Within the lands of the Capital City of Daiwa, perhaps even the Izou Empire, there is no other famous brewhouse than Arata Ryokans. Who would have expected that the owner was one of the most valued contacts of the Lotus Coalition?

Come listen into the group getting ready to play their new characters for the very first time! We discuss how we’ll work game rules and recording; but more importantly, our players setup their connections to one another (a big part of how The Ninja Crusade builds a narrative universe).
Carol Darnell is a writer and editor for Third Eye Games as well as an ENnie-nominated Podcaster! John and Carol met at GenCon 51 when she was running playtesting for The Ninja Crusade 2nd Edition and what is hoped to be a future release for the setting. For this interview, they candidly discuss both Carol’s introduction to the gaming industry as well as her contributions to Third Eye Games.
In 2016, John sat down with Eloy Lasanta, the head of Third Eye Games, at GenCon 49 for a live interview. This interview followed the company’s successful Kickstarter Campaign for The Ninja Crusade 2nd Edition and took place before their release of The Empire’s Reign Kickstarter. The interview features a better understanding of who Eloy is and his ties to the Independent Game Designer Network.
