The Mountain Witch is a role-playing game by Timothy Kleinert, independently published by Timfire Publishing.
Gameplay[edit]
The player characters are samurai rōnin that have banded together to destroy the Mountain Witch at the top of Mount Fuji. Each character has its own "dark fate", randomly drawn and known only by the player of the character. Most fates pit the rōnin against the group, and make betrayal likely.
Players can give "trust points" to another player's character, signifying the amount of trust between them. These points can be used to help the trusting rōnin, or against him in case of a betrayal.
