Tired: The Yakuza games are about crime drama.
Wired: The Yakuza games are about getting pulled into dozens of side-stories about helping out regular people.
Inspired: What if we did both, but made the crime drama explicitly about fighting for the folks from the side-stories, rather than defending the honor of the Tojo Clan or whatever?
Needless to say, this is my new favorite take on the series! I love tabletop adaptations of video games that, rather than trying to blindly replicate the original, really get at why the games emotionally resonate with us.
