Kaidan seeks to at least partially remedy that, but does it deliver? Being a bit of a fan of Japanese horror-games like Fatal Frame (aka Project Zero in Europe) or Forbidden Siren, I can attest to there being a plethora of almost unknown tropes of awesome and disturbing narratives that have largely been untapped by western pop culture and even rpgs. Not L5R-style, not Chinese WuXia (like in the quite cool HotJO-setting), but by Japanese horror-stories. Kaidan is a horror-themed setting inspired by Japan and Japanese mythology. There are a LOT of Asian settings out there, and good ones at that, so what exactly makes Kaidan unique? First of all: Its focus. I'll explicitly add another warning prior to going into the adventure details. ![]() I'll start off with what Kaidan is in the beginning, which one could consider minor spoilers, so beware. This being an adventure, I will have to go into some mayor SPOILERS later. This adventure/setting-introduction is 61 pages, 1 page front cover, 1 page editorial, 1 page ToC, 1 page SRD and 2 pages back cover, leaving 55 pages for the first part of the Kaidan-trilogy, so let's check it out!ĭisclaimer: I'm a gold patron for Kaidan, but I didn't participate that much in the design process due to real life.įirst of all, one cannot help but notice the beautiful full-color layout featuring bamboo at the page-borders (similar to In the Company of Kappa) and the stunning cover artwork - rest assured that the rest of the book is just as visually pleasing.
