Yakuza Weapon Proficiencies
The Yakuza are thieves, and limited in much the same way as their occidental counterparts; however, since the available equipment is different, the list of starting equipment is different.
In armor, the Yakuza is limited to Leather Armor or Padded Armor. Anything else is regarded as interfering with his thief functions.
Weapons are not limited; the Yakuza may use any weapon he wishes. However, there are two limits. One is that the character may not begin with weapons not available to him--that is, the weapons of the gajin occidental world must be acquired before they may be learned. The other is that although the character may use ninja weapons without any loss of honor, the use of such weapons puts the character at risk of being mis-identified as a ninja. There is little love between samurai and yakuza in the first place, but it is far worse in the samurai's eyes to be a ninja. Thus yakuza, especially at low levels, may wish to avoid ninja weapons.
The weapons available to the Yakuza are the same as those for the Bushi; and of course once he finds his way into the gajin world, he may use any weapons useable by the Fighter.
Return to Step 10 at the proficiencies count for the Yakuza.

The Multiverser Information Center
The complexity of creating a D&D character always reminds me of how much simpler it is to play Multiverser®

Temporal Anomalies in Popular Movies
There are enough time travel films out there now that most of the things which could go wrong in time have been shown on the silver screen. This page applies a new conception of how time works (discussed in the Multiverser®
game system to help referees sort out game scenarios in which player characters travel in time) to unraveling the most popular of such movies. An Event Horizon Hot Spot
and Sci Fi Weekly Site of the Week which has won the author national recognition as an authority on time travel in fiction.
