ABOUT TOKYO CONCEPTION

Shin Megami Tensei – The Roleplaying Game: Tokyo Conception is a tabletop roleplaying game for 3–5 players and 1 Game Master (GM) that captures the oppressive atmosphere, moral extremes, and faction-driven conflict of the Shin Megami Tensei™ series. Set within the ominous Vortex World, players navigate a shattered Tokyo shaped by powerful forces vying for control of creation itself.

The game features core franchise systems such as demon negotiation, Affinity-based strengths and weaknesses, and debilitating status ailments like Poison and Stun, while fully embracing classic tabletop mechanics including dice-driven combat, critical hits, and fumbles.

GAME HIGHLIGHTS

Exquisite World detail
Set within Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, Tokyo Conception includes over 100 pages of detailed rules, lore, demon data, and adventure seeds for both newcomers and veteran fans.

Accessible Yet Deep Gameplay
Designed to welcome first-time tabletop players while offering meaningful depth for experienced groups, the system supports everything from short story arcs to long-running campaigns.

Factions and Choices
Players must align with, or oppose, powerful factions competing for control of the Vortex World. Every choice carries weight, shaping both the narrative and the fate of Tokyo itself.
