Tenchi Muyo! (role-playing game)

The Tenchi Muyo! Role-Playing Game (RPG) is a tabletop role-playing game based on the Tenchi Muyo! anime and manga franchise. It allows players to create and play characters within the setting of the series, encountering established characters and creating their own adventures.

The game utilizes the Fuzion system, a generic role-playing game system developed by Hero Games and R. Talsorian Games. The Fuzion system emphasizes character customization and cinematic action, aligning with the tone of the Tenchi Muyo! source material. Players define their characters using points to purchase skills, abilities, and advantages, reflecting the diverse powers and personalities found within the series.

Character options reflect the various character archetypes present in Tenchi Muyo! These include, but are not limited to: ordinary humans, space pirates, Juraian royalty, guardians, and god-like beings. The game rules provide guidelines for handling the unique powers and technologies found in the setting, such as Light Hawk Wings, Ryoko's energy weapons, and Jurai's advanced ships.

The setting information within the game book details the key locations, characters, and lore of the Tenchi Muyo! universe. This includes information on Earth, Jurai, and other planets and dimensions. The game master (GM) uses this information to create scenarios and adventures for the players. The Tenchi Muyo! RPG aims to replicate the humor, action, and interpersonal dynamics that are hallmarks of the anime and manga series. Adventures can range from lighthearted slice-of-life stories to epic space battles against powerful adversaries.
