THE YEAR IS 1582.
Oda Nobunaga has been betrayed and destroyed by Akechi Mitsuhide. After defeating Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu's forces, Akechi now must defeat Oda's great general, Shibata Katsuie. Shibata has been readying his forces to avenge his former master, and he will not let Akechi's betrayal go unpunished. Meanwhile, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa have sought the protection of the powerful Hojo, biding they time while they wait for their separate oppurtunities to gain their own stake in the power struggle. To the south, the Shimazu are building their powerbase, taking over the western island of Kyushu and squashing all opposition.
Heroes of Chaos: Japan is a simulated game where players create characters that will interact with figures that lived in Sengoku Japan. SimHoC (the intimate name for Heroes of Chaos) is a mixture of RPG and strategy game. PCs, or Player Characters, can serve Historic Rulers, start a business, fight in duels, command armies and even rule a clan. PCs do not control Historic Characters, but rather create their own character, who can explore the great world of 16th century Japan. The PC can do anything they wish in the game, making their mark wherever they go. The limits of the game are based off the limits of your imagination. The game, however is as realistic as we can make it, with no magical creatures or mythical powers lurking about.
SimHoC was created in 2002 by a number of players of other Simulated RPGs which wanted to create an environment for both 2nd-3rd century China as well as 16th century Japan. Since then, the staff has chosen to specialize in only Japan, turning it into a truly original game. SimHoC is proud that they have pushed boundaries on the existing limits which have been placed on Simulated RPGs, revolutionizing many aspects of the game to make it truly original. The third installment of the game is truly revolutionary, implimenting the usage of a popular web based programming language as well as a popular database system to keep track of everything going on within the game.
On Friday, September 23rd, we will be having Ruler signups for positions as Clan Leader, Ronin Group Leader, or Business Owner. Before that time, you can certainly come to the forum and join the conversations, and look at the rules.
