Lost Manual: Ronin: Oriental Adventures in Tokugawa Japan

[petermcleod117]

Hey, anyone have this manual? I cannot seem to find a pdf copy anywhere; none of the standard online rpg stores seem to sell it. It looks pretty nice though.
Anyone know where I can purchase it in pdf form?

it seems it used to be available on DriveThruRPG, but it is no longer listed on the site. I can't even find it on amazon as a hard copy.

I’ve never heard of it, to be honest. Speaking in general terms, you might try emailing DriveThruRPG and/or the original publisher (if they still exist) just to see if you can find a thread to pull on. And while Amazon is generally a fantastic source for books, sometimes you might need to glance over at eBay or something similar when looking for old/obscure/out-of-print stuff.

Hmm, can't seem to find a copy for sale on DriveThuRPG or RPGNow, and they are usually my go to sources...

The listing for Highmoon Games doesn't turn up anything either: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/63/Highmoon-Games

Looks like this is PDF-only, so it won't be on Amazon or eBay.

Here (https://boardgamegeek.com/rpgitemversion/16140/pdf-version)'s another bare-bones mention of it. Without an ISBN, your best bet is to track down the publisher as Zaq suggested. Hard to get more obscure than this.

OK, i emailed someone who may or may not still work for the company (I got the email from the first issue of Targum magazine, so I don't know if it will actually work).

According to the Wayback Machine, DrivethruRPG used to sell it, but no longer...

Good(ish) news? so, the guy doesn't work for Highmoon anymore, but he said he'll try to "get in contact with the boss" to see if anything can be done. I'll give you guys an update if/when anything comes of this.
