Blood of the Yakuza is a module in the Oriental Adventures subset of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Forgotten Realms product line.
Plot summary
[edit]Blood of the Yakuza is an Oriental Adventures campaign setting and adventure scenario set on the island of Wa and port of Nakamura.[1] The module contains details Yakuza gangs and the important families and temples, as well as the major non-player characters of the city.[2]
As the module was based on the Kara Tur boxed set, its information is older than the information about Wa found in such product lines as the Spelljammer series.
Publication history
[edit]Blood of the Yakuza was written by David "Zeb" Cook, with a cover by Jim Holloway, and was published by TSR in 1987 as a forty-eight page book and a sixteen-page book, with a large color map and an outer folder.[1]
Reception
[edit]Jim Bambra reviewed Blood of the Yakuza for Dragon magazine No. 134.[2] Bambra felt that the island of Wa "draws its inspiration from the Tokugawa Shogunate of Japan and presents a more centralized and less war-torn period".[2] He concluded that Blood of the Yakuza is another excellent addition to the Oriental line.[2]
