Yaranaika! (Japanese: やらないか, yaranaika, 'Won't you do it?') is a campaign set in the world of Mythical East at the late 1500s. All the supernatural creatures, monsters, and magic of the Orient actually exist in this world. Some martial artists and ninjas actually have supernatural powers. Ki is a very real thing.
The campaign starts at Mythical Japan, where the characters may get involved in the power struggle...
The three senryū refer to the three most important people of that period: Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Bundles of 100 copper coins are the official currency. There are also silver and gold coins, and locally minted coins. For easiness, all coins normally have the same value as standard Coins. There's also koku, an unit of dry volume, about 180 litres, which was considered an amount of rice to feed one person for one year. Koku measured the magnitude of a feudal domain. A lord was considered a daimyō when his domain amounted to at least 10000 koku.
