About the Book

The Open Gate

Manmonkai is a world filled with gates leading to world-shards, small worlds floating in a sea of endless void. By cultivating the virtues of Courage, Compassion, Righteousness, Propriety, and Emptiness, a samurai can harness the natural power, putting them leagues above the soulless.

The Manmonkai Player Handbook is the first of three core books. It contains everything a player needs to know about Manmonkai.

“We wanted a world that encouraged hard choices, and where society functions by logic that preserves the fourth wall. This is our attempt.” — The Tiny Dynasty

The core volumes are beautiful PDFs and contain everything a table needs for countless hours of immersive storytelling.
