Hősök ezer meséje – Heroes of a Thousand Tales

The crowdfunding campaign for Heroes of a Thousand Tales, the first original game developed by Kalandhorizont Kiadó, has officially launched — and it reached its funding goal in just five days!

The game will be released in both Hungarian and English, and will be available in both digital and physical hardcover editions. The campaign runs until October 20, so it will still be live during MondoCon — where you’ll also have the chance to try the game for yourself on October 17–18!

Heroes of a Thousand Tales is the first Hungarian-developed anime tabletop role-playing game to be published. It is a rules-light, action-focused RPG inspired by shōnen and seinen anime, providing an easy-to-learn framework for creating, playing, and experiencing your very own anime series.

And drama is guaranteed! The game actively supports dramatic storytelling through its mechanics, including the Drama Track, Style Traits, and a special Script Mechanic for major opponents.

Check out the trailer, which is continuously updated based on player feedback and includes a quickstart adventure for beginners. Try it out with your friends, and then share your thoughts — either online or with us in person at MondoCon!

The main goal of the crowdfunding campaign is to bring as many truly cool, classic shōnen-anime-style illustrations into the book as possible. You can already check out three of them on the campaign page:

Hokushin Ittō-ryū Hyōhō – Japanese armored showcase and workshop

The Hokushin Ittô-ryû Hyôhô school was founded in 1820 by Chiba Shûsaku Taira no Narimasa.

He was one of the last swordsmanship masters to be honored with the title of Kensei (“Sword Saint”). The school quickly became one of the best-known and most popular martial arts schools of its time, and together with two other schools, it formed the Edo San Dai Ryu Ha (“The Three Great Schools of Edo”).

In addition to long-sword (daitō) techniques, the school also teaches short-sword (shōtō/wakizashi), jūjutsu (unarmed techniques), naginata (halberd), bō (staff), and yari (spear) techniques. Gekiken (撃剣, “striking sword,” or free sparring) is also part of the curriculum. The school has an extensive battōjutsu repertoire, focusing on cutting techniques performed immediately after drawing the sword. Furthermore, the school teaches the wearing of traditional Japanese armor (yoroi) and the execution of techniques while wearing it.

Students of the school played an important role during the turbulent years of the Bakumatsu period and actively participated in some of the final battles in which swords were still used in combat.

Yamaoka Tesshū and Sakamoto Ryōma were also practitioners of the school.

The three best-known lineages of Hokushin Ittô-ryû are the Chiba Dōjō, the Otaru-Genbukan (Noda-ha Hokushin Ittô-ryû), and the Mito-Tōbukan (Ozawa-ha Hokushin Ittô-ryû).

The Chiba Dōjō was founded by Chiba Sadakichi Taira no Masamichi, the younger brother of Chiba Shūsaku. Its headquarters are currently located in Albesried, Europe, and it represents the main lineage of the school.

The current head of the school and its seventh Sōke is Ōtsuka Ryūnosuke Taira no Masatomo.

The representative of the school and the Chiba Dōjō in Hungary is:

Tamás Oláh Kenryū Sensei
Kajō Mokuroku Shihandai
Head of Ryūshinkan Dōjō
