Where can I get my hands on the rulebook? Does anyone know?
Thanks in advance.

Mars Import, run by UYD Daimyo Jared Smith, does have them. http://www.marsimport.com/display_comic.php?ID=2630 Coincidentally, Jared contributed to the RPG, along with Glenn Masuda and myself. He also wrote UY: Monsters RPG

And in addition to what Todd Shogun said, some of us have played it and had fun. Some UY members got together once, some years ago for an afternoon session.

If you haven't done a lot of roleplaying before, it's a perfect game system to start with. Easy to learn and not too overloaded with rules and intricate things to bog you down.
If you are experienced and want to embellish it, there were some other books by the publisher for Japanese-based historical role play games you can add levels of detail from.

I'd also recommend Sengoku, which was also published by Gold Rush Games, the same folks who published the UY RPG, if I'm not mistaken.

It's chock-full of feudal Japanese goodness, and even if you never play it, it's invaluable as a historical reference work. Chock-full, I tell you!
