Quite awesome to see this is A Thing. Looking forward to it, doubt I'd ever get my group to play but at least I enjoy reading RPGs.

Also I'm really laughing at at how some guys on 4chan's /tg/ are getting worked up at the idea of some of the more risque artwork being changed or removed. :allears:

If it is to be a direct port to the US, ostensibly the art should be left alone since it's not part of the translation process. It's a purism thing I guess.

As someone cautiously interested in MK thanks to the F&F thread, this blows my mind. I applaud you for taking this effort instead of just googlating the text. But as I am not particularily well-versed in japanese language and culture, I can't help but hope that the translation tends toward being a playable game first and a showcase of japanese culture second. Perhaps the sidebars may be used for highlighting especially subtle cultural context as the above?

Or maybe a seperate booklet could provide all the really finicky and cool - but not all that useful for actual gaming - references; an extended translator's guide to why these things are unchanged while these things are completely changed around or excised. A kickstarter goal perhaps?

I would put extra money in if a TN booklet was made, just to be in awe of it all.

I can't believe I didn't think of this.

Seems obvious in hindsight, but it's pretty much right there with Payday since the snack aspect is de-emphasized.

I admit, I would be happy if this became the good TG food thread.

So no steak talk then?
