Ewen Cluney posted:What Potsticker said. As for translating it, there's more interest in an English version than I expected, but it's still a game a lot of people will find skeevy, plus there's no shortage of other interesting TRPGs to translate. So my answer to that would be, _maybe_ some day. I wonder if it wouldn't work just fine as a mecha game, just replace undead monsters with mechanical ones and the girls with emo pilots.

Just started slogging through Arianrhod at lunch. I'm shocked (but not surprised) at how bad my kanji skills are after such a long layoff of study. Good news is that by the time I'm done with the book, I'll probably be better than I was during 4th year Japanese 10 years ago.

A while ago Ken Akamatsu's free manga site J-Comi announced they'd also be hosting free PDFs of older tabletop RPGs, and they just posted up Mononoke Koyake (the first Golden Sky Stories/Yuuyake Koyake supplement) and Ryuutama.

Ewen Cluney posted:Clay Gardner (who created OVA: Open Versatile Anime and has also done a ton of design work for Minion Games) is nearly done with the GSS layout. He's not nearly as melodramatic as Luke, but he does tweet about it now and then at @wiseturtle. I post in jest. Seriously though, it's great to hear that GSS is so far along. I'm looking forward to checking out Tenra Bansho, but there's really nothing comparable to Golden Sky Stories in English as far as I know.

Still-- not quite yet to the Tenra Bansho Kickstarter: http://www.tenra-rpg.com/blog/?p=246 It looks like it's likely starting around this coming monday, with the entry level donation for the two-book set at $55.

I am also way down to throw money at those books. Also, does anyone know how the TL for Meikyuu Kingdom is going? I got the 2 main books myself, so if there's some way I can help with the effort I would be very glad to do so. Otherwise I will just have it be a personal project.

I'm going to slap the Tenra Kickstarter in the OP as soon as it launches. Anyone know of anything that should accompany it?mikeycp posted:I am also way down to throw money at those books. There were at least two projects working on it, one in this thread and someone slightly more official at least considering it. Whether anything's happened I dunno, 'cause it's been all quiet on the Meikyuu front ever since.

Potsticker posted:Maybe a note that it uses' F.E.A.R.'s SRS (Standard RPG System) which makes it compatible with a bunch of untranslated stuff as well? I don't know how important that will be to people here, though. Or if that sort of thing will even be mentioned in the Kickstarter.

Ewen Cluney posted:Tenra actually dates back before FEAR started using the proto-SRS, and IIRC uses a dice pool system. They later made an SRS-powered game called Tenra War that's a mashup of Tenra and Terra the Gunslinger, though according to Andy it's not that great. Oh shoot! Sorry for the bad information, then. I must have heard some info on Tenra War and got them confused.

Is there a Japanese equivalent to organized play such as Pathfinder Society and RPGA? I also had a look at the GSS pdf, that thing is very pretty.

Traveller posted:So what about them Shin Megami Tensei games, huh? What the hell how does that even work  , would you play a knight of the court of King Frost? Would you be leading the armies of Lucifrost against the other alignments? I'm afraid of thinking about this any further and being disappointed later on when it turns out to be a joke alignment choice.

Yeah I'd actually discovered it (the SMT RPG) as well recently but I discovered that A) it's out of print and B) on amazon.jp a single copy of the core costs an insane amount (¥ 23,246) while the supplements are more normal. I kind of figure it'll just be a transcription of all the mechanics but seeing as its written by atlus I imagine the fluff will be boss since it has a pretty solid page count. I..I may end up paying that much, it depends on how desperate I am and how much I want it.

I asked once about the SMT RPG line in this thread once. Here's TK-31's response.TK-31 posted:From what I've heard it is the game mechanics transcribed to paper. Think of a GameFAQs document detailing with tables the process of Demon Negotiation and you have a good idea of how it goes in a general sense. Though from now on, in any game that allows alignment, mine will always bee "Hee-ho". Mostly because... well, gently caress alignment systems.
