English Edition of Touhou TTRPG Gensou Narratograph Comes West in 2027!
Lionwing Publishing is bringing Gensou Narratograph: The Roleplaying Game Based on Touhou to English-speaking players. Originally published in Japanese by Kadokawa in 2023, the game lets players take the roles of familiar residents of Gensokyo and create their own stories in Touhou’s world of humans, yokai, and magic.
Designed for one to four players and one Game Master, Gensou Narratograph combines cozy slice-of-life storytelling with Danmaku Duels inspired by the franchise’s bullet-hell confrontations. Players can portray Reimu Hakurei, Marisa Kirisame, and other established characters using a few six-sided dice and their imagination.
The rulebook includes:
- 30 characters from Touhou Project
- A newly drawn map featuring 21 locales, with flavor text written by Touhou creator ZUN
- New character artwork
- A 100-page replay featuring ZUN himself, presenting an actual play session in manuscript form
The English release will offer three editions; two hardcovers available exclusively during the upcoming ordering window and a softcover planned for retail. One hardcover edition will feature painted edges.
Readers can sign up now to receive a notification when orders open. Lionwing will share more about the game, its English editions, and how to order in the weeks ahead.
