>Corrupted file or unsupported file typewell that blows. just wait a bit.
>>143366102Also this is Thread 42.Is Yokai today?
>>143366140Sometimes it helps when you open a file in paint, either snip a bit off of a corner, like one pixel sized line, or add a single pixel dot, save and then it works.>>143366271Nope, that's tomorrow, hosted by lord of hell himself, Enmanon.

>>143366332The WhereWhen storytime was 41, it archived before storytime 40 did though, see >>143352256
there we go >>143366271yokai is tomorrow!
also yeah, this is supposed to be thread 42.
>>143366332I thought I had everything set up. exposing my utter ignorance, is there an easy way to convert/resize image files? this is driving me crazy.
there are a bunch of these translucent pages, which I'll only post the first one.
>>143366412Not that I know of.Only way I know how to fix files 4chan doesn't like, is to just do it the hard manual way.
>>143366481I had a little program in the old computer that worked like a charm. mass image something. but I can't find it anymore!
>>143366510Haven't used any programs like that before.Here's what google provided me.https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=Mass+image+cropperAnother idea I just got was, to redownload all those images and unzip/unpack them with a different program than the one you used to unpack these pics with.I for one use whatever windows has as part of its programs. But sometimes it likes to fuck around with some pics and they won't unpack/unzip.In those situations, I find it useful to try another unpacker program, like 7zip or winrar.Maybe using one of those to unpack the images, will make them more palatable to 4chan?
>>143366516>Mucho Stinko
>>143366611I fucking got it. the one program I was searching for was "mass image compressor". it kept crashing for some reason, but eventually worked. the artbook I got was in .webp, which 4chan doesn't like.
but enough about that. let's talk about how we missed on having this goofy guy as our protagonist.
>>143366447I got to look at this book in person on Wednesday. It's a terrific presentation. I just wasn't willing to pay $175 for it, especially when I have the more recent 35 years of Covers HC.
>>143366682I imagine it must be huge. >the more recent 35 years of Covers HChow different is it from this one? are there many repeated stuff?
>>143366718I'd honestly have to check, it's been a minute since I looked at it. IIRC it's more full color cover art than this.
>>143366711Motherfucker killed Gen!
>>143366692Back to the SD-verse
>>143366480>Does research>Bats still have pterodactyl wings.
>>143367147rule of cool, I assume.
>>143367147That's nothing. Get this, the rabbits have opposable thumbs.
>>143366902Look away, Mon-anon!
>>143366575Looks like the obsession for history is not just regular 4chan autism, apparently this book just attract this kind of people.
>>143366659This usagi feels like he can use his ears like a helicopter.

Murder have you tried out the game First Cut: Samurai Duel? I remember someone asking if you tried Sekiro and wondered if this game was on your radar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSj5uY90KwQ
>>143367686it had a roleplaying game?
>>143367660I never saw that. looks great, but very simple. like a flash game. >>143367709yep. I don't know much about it tough.

and this is it. what a journey this book is, you can see the style changing every page. what is your favorite part? I really like the early art's details.so just to remind, tomorrow you'll read Yokai with Enmanon, and sunday will be Senso, the end of our storytime. expect it around UTC 12:00. before I leave you guys in the hands of our lovely judger of souls, let me do two things: first, I compiled the character theme songs from both the dojo site and the one suggested here:https://pastebin.com/heAgHEyJI wish I had the time to properly comb through that site. maybe next year I'll prepare something. second, it's about time we set up a best girl poll:https://strawpoll.com/mpnboDQ4wg5vote now! with that, see you sunday!

How many threads are left?
>>143368341They're ok1st edition is just a straight Fuzion system so if you like 3d6 + skill, roll over, there you go2nd edition is a completely different system, more narrativist than I generally like, Lots more information on the setting of Feudal Japan though, but not to the degree of these threads.I have not ran either system because "Feudal Japan but Furries" is a harder pitch than you would think.

>>143368930>I have not ran either system because "Feudal Japan but Furries" is a harder pitch than you would think.Certainly if you don't want to play with furries (which no one should)
>>143368912Senso
>>143368997Let me elaborate on that"Feudal Japan but Furries" is a hard pitch because people who want to play in Feudal Japan don't want Furries and Furries don't want Feudal Japan.No, you cannot 'Nuzzle' the fucking shogun.
>>143368603Well this ain't canon for a few reasons like Stan not writing, but most of all this contradicts and probably predates Space UsagiStill it's cool to see Usagi and Stan within the "furry scene" of the time
>>143369030That's more or less the entire premise of this series though, so it can't be that hard, just nicheYou just have to play while ignoring you're all animals

>>143369081Until the flying and burrowing ninja appear, anyway.
>>143366619Been wondering for a while if there was official confirmation "Miyamoto Usagi" was a play on "Miyamoto Musashi", turns out, there we go

>>143366531Wait, is this the guy who can'tkeep eye colours on the same page consistent?He's been working on Usagi for decades?
>>143370447Well that was from 1814, way after Tokugawa Ieyasu's time. And I meant our real life non-furry world. In Usagi's furry world it would be like>Tokugawa sighs and turns to his aide>"Does the barbarian think we don't know of that here? What strange folk these nanban are."
>>143366718I'm back. Can confirm, the 35 Years of Covers hardcover is >Every color cover to every issue>Every color cover to every paperback>Every color cover to every Saga editionThrough the DH run. Though I don't think there's any Turtle content, likely due to licensing issues. So honestly there's a lot in this artbook that isn't replicated! Maybe it would be worth it...
>>143368890Because it's not Jotaro - Jotaro has an oval shaped nose. That's young Usagi, but since adult Usagi gets the "Usagi" label, young Usagi gets the "Yojimbo" label
Speaking of UY games, there's also a fanmade Trading Card Game too, https://uytcg.neocities.org/
>>143371126This is fucking cool.

>>143367971>>143367977Those off panels moments between father and son ;-;
>>143369728Actually they both do, and at least the Fuzion one is 100% canon, at least to the time it was released.Sorry about the delay, just came back from Alien.

>>143372233Holy shit, nice! Thanks for sharing this.
>>143366711I find it interesting this first story has the Kurosawa blood-spray since the bloodlessness in the series always seemed like a deliberate choice.
>>143372787The very early Albedo stories were pretty bloody.
>>143367834>tomoe action figure that was never produced*chair clattering*
>>143367950this was for that famous body count page I guess?
>>143367686Reminds me of those beautiful cover art paintings from the 80s-90s KOEI strategy games.
>>143370688He got old. He also retired from art completely about 1/3 through the IDW run.
>>143373017Better GRAPHICS
>>143368930I imagine anyone wanting to play feudal japan with furries would just play jadeclaw instead
>>143368138gee Kitsune why does your RPG let you appear on the front of two covers?
>>143356403I think that's also because of how many pages the 41st thread had.
>>143372233Kek. Thanks, Anon.Hot take: I prefer Grasscutter II. While Part I is great, and each segment of it's story is superbly written, the entire Ikeda/Noriyuki part could have been removed and used for a standalone issue(s) happening between Grasscuter I and II and it wouldn't change a thing when it comes to the sword plot. It's only there because of how convenient the timing of the betrayal is.Meanwhile, the narrative of Grasscutter II is much more tight, the comic has more action and every person present gets a nice character arc which adds to the larger plot. It may be smaller in scope (there is no conspiracy of lords or supernatural beings involved), but it's much grander in everything else. GCII also has possibly the best moment of the entire series, when general Ikeda realizes how much power he could instantly gain if he returned with Grasscutter in hand, but the implications terrify him so much that he rejects the possibility instantly. There is incredible power in that short scene.
>>143367834>>143372932>Tomoe action figureThink about the possibilities. Meanwhile, so many jars are just standing there, empty...
I don't want us to be over.
>>143373868As long as theres anons to appreciate these stories and chareacters it will never be over.
>>143366936>>143366944Man I love the way this illustrates this as being a genuine flashback and not just a vivid memory, specifically the 3 panels starting at the last panel of the first page. The army in the memory starts forming out of the storm clouds. It becomes larger and more material as it "approaches" Usagi. Then, with still no change to his position in the shot, Usagi is suddenly fighting in the army himself. The realness of the memory overwhelmed his sense of reality.
>>143366973>>143366977Oh look, Hikiji without blackface.
>>143367345Hey, these look familiar.
>>143367641It's all redrawn, not even background-less last panel was copy-pasted.
>>143367664I can't believe I didn't catch that.
>>143374512Goddamn, anon.
>>143368683>>143368950kek! Thanks anons.
>>143369030There was an attempt to run an online Usagi game after some storytime, but it fell through.
>>143368930>1st edition is just a straight Fuzion system so if you like 3d6 + skill, roll over, there you goIt also has interesting combat system where the decisions on whether to go for Cautious Attack, All-Out Attack, or Full Defence are revealed for all characters at once making it play a bit like rock-paper-scissors.Looks like I can't share it here, so have a link.https://files.catbox.moe/e16ey8.pdf
>>143367752That kid could be now lawfully struck down by the offended samurai. He's lucky Usagi doesn't kill kids.
>>143373195It kinda feels like Kitsune is Stan's waifu
>>143373195She's the rogue character and every party needs a dick ass thief.
>>143372233Is it just me or is 2nd Edition just not finished? I read it cover to cover and I have no idea how to play. Am I retarded? Am I destined to join the ranks of the forever gameless?
>>143373717I think Part II is really good but I like how part I has some extraneous stuff with Ikeda. Grasscutter I works because you're not always sure where the story is going.Agree that the sequence where Ikeda rejects the temptation of the sword is one of the best in the series.
>>143368912Yokai and Senso are left.
>>143375329>the decisions on whether to go for Cautious Attack, All-Out Attack, or Full Defence are revealed for all characters at once making it play a bit like rock-paper-scissorsThat's pretty creative, and nicely emulates the "quick-draw showdown" style of action in samurai period dramas.
>>143376648>emulates the "quick-draw showdown" style of action in samurai period dramas.I agree, which is precisely why I bothered to mention it and share the combat rules.I'd love to play a game with combat like this, it doesn't even need to be Usagi.
