Japanese TRPG Thread
>Preparing for Shinobigami Edition
Last thread was pretty successful, so here we go again.
Who knows about this one?
>>43635014
It's one of the Saikoro Fiction series, basically Yugioh the rpg, a moonrune-reading guy on Something Awful organized a group to play them on Roll20.
They played it just last month.
>>43635080
Yugioh the rpg? Explain a little bit more. Sounds interesting.
>>43635093
I don't have the book, so no idea.
From what i've read on the last thread, it's about a evocating stuff from card, like yugioh.
You should ask somebody who has read it.
>>43634421
I'm sad this will most likely never be translated.
>>43635120
Evocation from cards? I have so many ideas surrounding that. It would be like. Draw five cards from your deck! Those five cards are then your equipment for the next blah blah turns. Each card after you draw help you more and more. That would make for some strategic fights. It could be a bit broken, but that's okay.

I wish we could get even one good mecha RPG.
>>43635537
What's wrong with the current Mecha RPGs out there currently?
>>43634421
Running a Ninja Slayer game is pretty much why I supported Shinobigami.
>>43635555
I haven't played every mecha rpg. But in my experience they suffer from one of two flaws:
* Rules that end up bogging down the game in mechanics, to the detriment of the GM. Mekton being a prime example of this.
* The mecha feel like an afterthought and don't mix with the rest of the setting or rules they are included in. Eclipse Phase and Cthulhutech, for example.

>>43635537
Any idea what the game mechanics are like?
>>43635658
Have you tried DP9's games?
>>43635693
I have not. I would like to try Jovian Chronicles at some point, but I'm concerned that I'd run into the same problem I did with Mekton.
>>43635650
Me too, can't wait to do my Aisatsu.
>>43635134
Recently I've got the itch to order and scan those volumes, but muh monies...
plus, i've got no scanner X(
>>43635134
It's SRS, so there's probably no reason to be sad.
>>43635669
Pick three classes, pick some powers, calculate stats, roll 2d6+stat.
So what exactly does this "Login Tabletalk RPG Series" logo I keep seeing on JRPGs signify?
>>43636077
Some sort of online thing like Roll20 maybe?
>>43636081
Well, Silver Rain has its own site, so it's definitely not a universal thing.
But I don't want guesses - I can guess stuff myself - I'd like an answer.
>>43636077
A publisher maybe?

It seems to be Enterbrain's (The RPG Maker people) TTRPG imprint.
>>43636125
No. That's F.E.A.R, enterbrain, etc.
Not guesses, answers please.

Here, now stop being a cunt.
>>43636154
Oh. So it's just a label referring to some out-of-print magazine and has nothing to do with online play...
>>43636174
If you want a Japanese roll20, dodontof is their go-to
>>43636442
I'd prefer more Japanese manuals instead ;D

Yeah, I was thinking more about digital scans.

To follow up on the Ninja Slayer reskin, I remember Andy mentioning that the Japs have already made one, but quick googling didn't give me anything. Then again, if I understand everything correctly, a reskin mostly requires just a new set of skills/clans? If that's the case, here's the rough picture of how I see it:
>Chado: because we need a clan for Ninja Slayer himself. Dragon Dojo and iaido ninjas like Yamoto can probably fit here, too
>Soukaiya: ZAKKENNAKORAA! The default evil ninja clan that can reflect the whole yakuza aspect, as well
>Yoroshisan: Bio-ninjas, zumbie-ninjas, and of course, SAIGON
>Omura: INDUSTRYYYYY! Also, cyber-ninjas like Daedalus probably go here
>Zaibatsu: Mostly psychics? They aren't in the anime, so I don't know much about them, but they probably fit that niche the best
>Independent ninjas: Not sure if it's any different from Chado, but people like Suicide don't really have the Chado skills. Can be Ikki Uchikowashi, I suppose?
Bumparu.

Silhouette Core is autistic shit, only good Western mecha RPGs are Chromestrike and Battle Century G.
It's a shame, I love mecha too.
>>43641274
Do you count generalist systems like GURPS or ORE in your evaluation of mecha RPGs?Probably not because they're generalist not mecha but I've always been curious as to how those two handle the genre
