Any tradgames people here who've ever run a Touhou tabletop campaign? I'm toying with the idea of running one myself, for a group of mostly newcomers to the franchise.

I tend to prefer more of games like FATE and Dungeon World, not so much the extremely crunchy games of Pathfinder and D&D. I checked out the redone Danmaku Yuugi Flowers ruleset and I'm not a fan of the spell card customization options being mostly attacks, bonuses and penalties (too much focus on crunch rather than creativity). I like Tale of Phantasmal Land's spell card construction system and character options, but combat there appears to have a lot of unnecessary rolls and the system surrounding it seems very dense and difficult for my ruleset-reading-phobic players to go for.

Anybody have experiences that worked for Touhou with those systems or others?

The Golden Sky Stories: Twilight Tales Kickstarter is finally live.

This is the English version of the first Japanese supplement (Mononoke Koyake), which adds the mononoke, so in addition to henge you can play as more exotic types of critters.

Also one of the stretch goals is an English version of the character options from the Touhou GSS doujinshi, which is an actual thing that exists.

Clearly the only way to run a Touhou campaign is a series of one-shots expressed through the purest of mediums, the Danmaku!! card game.

I've never even played in a Touhou tabletop campaign, much less run one, but I know a guy who's done a fair bit of play-by-post roleplaying, and did run a Touhou campaign at one point. I asked him about this, and he produced a 1,000-word essay on the topic in a matter of minutes. To summarise: if the Touhou-specific systems don't seem like what you're looking for, he strongly recommends adapting a more general-purpose one. He ran his campaign by hacking a very obscure near-freeform system called "The Window", though in hindsight he wouldn't necessarily recommend that system in particular.

More speculatively, he says he's never used FATE for a Touhou campaign in particular, but thinks it might be a good fit, especially if you're interested in the "collaborative storytelling" angle, and you're looking to keep it at a fairly low power level. If the "superpowered martial arts movie" angle is what you're after, he thinks a modified version of D&D 4E might still be your best bet, if it's not too rulesy for you.

If you do want an extremely high power level, he says you might want to look at adapting Nobilis, which he's never played personally, but he's apparently heard several people say that it's perfect for Touhou.

I'm actually running a Touhou game right now (in Valor). I haven't looked at Danmaku Yuugi Flowers, but something with a bit of tactical crunch can make the fights feel like actual spell card fights - my primary inspiration source is the Fantasy Maiden Wars games. I've been stretching the rules to give bosses multiple lifebars and special spell card effects and poo poo, like they just fought an oni boss whose second phase had an effect where any time she hit someone within 3 spaces of her, they automatically got knocked prone, and another boss had a phase where she spawned extra minions every time she damaged people.

Ultimately, I think that having a good selection of weird shitlords is more important than the mechanical feel, since Touhou's atmosphere extends into things like the manga spinoffs where it's more investigation-based and the fights are kind of an afterthought. For my game I ended up tossing out everything but the fundamental concepts of the setting and making up my own cast of OCs to populate the game.

Bonus: Find a bunch of touhou-alike songs on youtube and use them for bosses. The keyword is 東方風自作曲.
