For Sword World Core Books/Supplements/Replays/etc:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1tg3hNkIw7sgAI8PH8XTEyMy6jpUO-thDIt's mostly 2.0 and 2.5 content, which ARE compatible with each other, but the original SW 1.0 content from 1989 started getting stuff translated too! The first one is not compatible at all with 2.0 and 2.5, but it's still a historically important release.
is there any game you hope gets a full translation?
>>92627203Nue Kagami
>>92627203Terra the Gunslinger
>>92627017What would the gameplay of a JK RPG even be? I'm morbidly curious
>>92627203I do wish for Tokyo N◎VA's translation to be continued, which seems improbable now that the wiki risks being erased....https://tokyonova.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page

>>92627203EndBreakers!
>>92627203This >>92627377I know there's some faggot squatting on the localization rights for all things TBZ, but someone needs to just do a fan translation and when that faggot shows up to complain how he has the rights and you can't do that, someone should break his skull open with a brick.
>>92627203my JSL friend keep raving about Kizuna Bullet. I want to see if it actually good or he is just a faggot
>>92627203Monotone Museum. I know that a fan translation was done, but the rules for the game more or less amount to "Just use the base engine with these specific mechanics and you've got it", and since then it seems a lot more books came out that were never looked at or translated.
>>92627819He a faggot, the game is... Okay, not bad or good.I personally don't like the "Owner" and "Dog" themes, seems like author fetish.
>>92627203the older SMT RPGs
>>92627928The company that published those - Jove INTERGRAL dissolved a few years ago, I hope LionWing got the right for all of them too.
>>92627974*Jive
>>92627785Give raw, since all things Terra are strictly physical copies only.If there is a dump, there is a translation.
>>92627928They seem to have some nice art, but mechanically I would be interested on Mato Tokyo 200X, which is the most recent version that got books from 2005 to 2010.LionWing went with the Nocturne TTRPG (2004) for more recognizability because of Demifiend and all the mainline game artwork.
>>92627785Isn't Tenra Bansho Zero already translated?
>>92627203The Wizardry RPGs as apparently supplement expand upon setting of otherwise barren lore of first games.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VN0Kni_R96QAnd Twilight High School as its one of those supernatural investigation games I think.

>>92628151It is, just not the later versions of it. That and the supposed translators didn't even give out anything additional.Also, >>92628558 said URL also has the supplement.
>>92628558>>92628591thanks, will look into it once I'm home.
>>92627548>soonAAAHHHH
I remember an RPG I couldn't find a translation of. Now I can't remember the name.It's 1 on 1, with the player playing as a mech pilot and the GM playing as their ffffiancé? in some kind of support role.Any ideas?

>>92629784Thank you!If anybody has any other 1-on-1 JTTRPG systems, particularly with a romance-y bent, I'd love to hear about them.
>>92627396" What you use is one 6-sided die and a character sheet. All you need is a writing utensil and a rulebook! To create a character, just look at the JK creation table and roll the dice. Of course, you can choose and decide by yourself, or decide in your own words. Once you become a JK, it's time for fortune telling! We will decide what is called a handout for the high school girls who will play with that scenario. However, since she is a high school girl, she has no "mission" or "secret". What we have instead is ``Youth''. This is a guideline for high school girls who play with that scenario! This may be the same or different depending on the person. Of course, depending on how you create the scenario, you may be able to do things that are secret to other high school girls. Once you have decided on your "youth" (guidelines), the next step is to collect "likes". You can get ``Likes'' by posting your accomplishments on the in-game SNS, and once your ``Youth'' is determined, the points you will collect will be automatically determined. There are ``cute points'' that stand out, ``cute points'' that are beautiful and aesthetically pleasing, and ``bakuwara'' points that are fun and humorous. Depending on the scenario, you can compete for these points or work together to collect a single point. These points can be earned or lost if the "quest" judgment is successful! Judgment is OK with basic role play. Use your own characteristics written on the character sheet called JK words and the "lucky word" determined at the beginning of the scenario, and if you use JK words up to the target number, you will be judged successfully! Of course, for those who are not good at role-playing, don't worry, there are dice judgments and help rolls where you can get help from your high school friends"
>>92631063the game is pretty lite too, 21 pages long, shouldn't be too hard to translate.
Anyone know about Emo-Klore? It's a system focused on supernatural encounters and how that affects the characters emotionally, slowly nudging them over to the "supernatural" side.https://emoklore.dicetous.com/rulebook/
>>92631630this fag mtl it a while back.https://youtu.be/_XQLNg3FUhg?si=IGp7VvW5Rwfl7tX_
>>92627401Did no one make a pdf or something for this?
It warms my heart to see this thread again, as the last big japanese ttrpg thread was a big inspiration and a great help in finding systems. Soon, I have a Kamigakari game scheduled with three players and using the archive to find old resources like a google sheets character sheet and a helpful session 1 example someone made has eased the stress a lot. I know the system isn't actually as bad as it seems, but it's still the kind of thing that feels overwhelming at a glance, hahah. Very excited to run it soon!
Anyone know some good resources for finding japanese pdf rulebooks? I've read up on various games, but importing the books can be pretty pricey at times.
>>92633055Good to hear you have a game coming along.
>>92627203Passports for ryutamaThere is so much godam good shit in there it makes the core rulebook blushVehicle travel rules water combat rules caravans sieges more classes more ryujin shit Enough to extend a campaign for years or create several new ones in dazzling locales Base book feels really barebones in comparison
>>92634062Let's hope that happens...
>>92628479>The Wizardry RPGs as apparently supplement expand upon setting of otherwise barren lore of first games.Is this where the infamous "master smith Kasinatto" mistranslation came from?
>>92627548Very excited, keep us updated anon. Already got my card game autist DM sold on running it when he can read it.

>>92633099First, nice dubs. Second, there's not a ton of pdfs to be found, at least of the raws. Japanese companies feel like these cause piracy because they do, lmao, so they tend to keep any digital copies as other formats. Often, they'll have them readable only through a proprietary reader only usable through a website, but occasionally some companies (like Group SNE) will put their stuff on Amazon, which can be read through Kindles and so are easier to rip into something usable. However, there are some games that simply don't exist as anything but physical copies, and so the only way it'll find it's way outside of Japan is if someone imports and scans it. I think there's at least one version of Alshard that's like this, but no doubt there's more.

I think there's at least one version of Alshard that's like this, but no doubt there's more.This happened for Card Ranker, too. An anon went to Japan, scavenged to find all three books (this took a while), came back, and scanned them at the library into PDFs (after some trial and error).By the way, CAAAAAAAAAAAAARD RANKERRRRRRRRRRRRR
>>92633099Abandon all hope cuz if you looking for big jttrpg in pdf form, there none for you... Except for Wares Blade, for some unknown reason.

>>92637122>>92635572anyway due to licensing crap with the art an official TL is not happening and the people that did the official TL haven't translated anything worthwhile in a good 6 years at this point so if someone is willing to go through an autistic ordeal to translate both megasupplments i think most people interested in ryutama would be very thankfull

Has anyone shared the raw or translation for the Elden Ring TRPG?
>>92627203Blade of Arcana. I've been sitting on a printed copy of the rulebook since pre-covid that I meant to send to Carse in the sharethread to scan.
>>92642530mine has the latest edition sitting there, haven't done anything yet since this beast is 400 pages long and has 2000+ skills.
>>92642876D10s and a deck of Cards.Also one of those games featured in Quick Start.
>>92642301Didn't even knew it was out yet, is it good?
>>92641737The scanned raws were handed over to a translation group a while ago, so that process is still ongoing. If you want the raws, they'll have to be reuploaded.
>>92638927Yeah, they also got out Ryuutama and Shinobigami....Oh, you mean for TBZ? Fuck no, Andy K has taken Kickstarter money for supplements and physical addons for all three games, and has ghosted on every single one of them, even before the plague turbofucked shipping. Fuck him.
>>92644787What is Quick Start?
>>92644972No idea. I haven't had a chance to read it. I've heard good things though.
>>92646271Quick Start is a manga about high school girls playing JTRPGs, primarily games by FEAR. /tg/ did do scanlations of up to ch13, but from ch14 onward, a group called Heavens Feel continues up till the end of vol.3. A few people... Dislike what they have done. One notable highlight is ch 57 where they play Sword World 2.0. (a non FEAR game)Vol 4 has yet to be scanlated into EN.
>>92646373For games I kindof counted as featured...AlshardTokyo NovaDouble CrossChaos FlareAngel GearArianrhodNight WizardTenraSeven=FortressBlade of ArcanaBeast Bind TrinitySword World 2.0So much potential if we just focus on it...
>>92646373>Dislike what they have doneNo offense to the group, but it is a terrible scanlation
>>92644787Nah, D20s
>>92646965eh, close enough.
Did anyone ever get Legend of the Sacred Pearl Seed to share? I've been looking for it for like a year. Still offering to do a full translation to English as well. I want to run it for the students at my school.
>>92646271"Cute girls doing cute things" manga - tabletop RPG edition
some japanese lads playing japanese mountains of madness (CoC 6e) if anyone's interestedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DU7gZjLz11M
>>92642301Did anyone ever even finish the Dark Souls translation? Looks like the one in the archive is still very incomplete.
>>92627017>>Shin Megami Tensei>Official LionWing localization.I can't even find the original version online.Why do Japanese publishers hates PDF?
>>92650408Because they despise piracy that much, apparently
>>92650408good luck finding raw of physical only book, especially jtrpg.

Don't know if this qualifies, but have Novi Novi Steampunk. It's machine translated, but the originals are in there as well if any enterprising anons want to have a go at translating. Also totally not dolphin porn, nope. https://gofile.io/d/aRomSv
>>92639099>>92639107What are the most desired/least expensive of these? I have a buddy out in Japan teaching English and he's getting married, probably will settle down and live there for a while. Might be able to get some gift exchange stuff going.
>>92654809Awesome! Thanks
What is the one J-TTRPG you most want to play with your buds, but haven't?
>>92646623Is the 187 some JTTRPG meme or is that the translator's own autism? I never understood beyond "this means the character got killed" there was no TL note
>>92655219Just get whatever at the bottom, the list seems like it's also in chronological order.
>>92656756187 is the California police code for murder/homicide. It pops up in hip-hop songs. Think of it in this context as an archaic form of saying "unalive" - a worksafe synonym for outright saying "kill" or "murder" or "die".
>>92656898>worksafeOr algorithm-safe, as it were.
>>92656692>>92655219Pearl Seed
>>92656692Gensou Narratograph
>>92656692Sword World. I actually haven't played JTTRPG with my group yet, but I was surprised about how many SW books were getting translated in the last few years, with even more to come, seeing the system getting so much support makes me want to run a campaign.
>>92631523Im learning how to use design shit to put in my tld text.
>>92636104Then check this one mega /folder/jaAy1SYa#WbsohutSTiyI1lDJAi1JEw
>>92659066based
>>92656692Sword World. Everytime i try to set it up everybody bail
>>92656692I have a growing list. I'd like to try some of the older games that've been popping up recently like SW1.0, Lodoss, etc. But I've had Nechronica and Dracorouge up there forever.That being said, I do still play a lot with my pals. Most recently, limited to just JTRPGs, Sword World 2.5 and SMT X.
>>92660153As long as I make cheatsheets and other PDFs with digested information, even my laziest player accepts any new system.Tard wrangling in the beginning is always a lot of extra work, but once it starts it's smooth sailing.
>>92661918i guide them through their character creation, create cheatsheet. Hell i even taught them how to made character using automatic sheet in google because they are too lazy to do math
>>92639099>>92639107If I ever manage to find any of these I'll happily try to share them.

>>92663402Hell yeah! Thanks!
>>92656898Ah, same place 420 came from. So it was the translators autism after all.
>>92665997Apparently, 420 has nothing to do with police codes.

Where are you guys keeping tracking of these ongoing translations? Some discord channels or something?
>>92680065Some people must have an in with certain translation groups. This thread (>>92627548, specifically) is the first anyone has heard of progress on the Card Ranker translation ever since an anon said he would hand the raws off to a group in one of the last threads.
>>92680065Some projects have their own dedicated discords (some with the same groups/people)Such as Nechronica, Dracorouge, and Tokyo Nova discords. The Sword World discord has many other translators, with a few invite links to other servers. There are others too, and some without any dedicated group or discord at all.
>>92680065.There was a JTRPG discord invite link that was shared here a few years ago, from what I heard, almost all JTRPG translators are active in there.
I'm looking forward to the meikyuu kingdom release. I'm hoping an official english release will convince my group to actually give it a shot.
>>92657926By my understanding, the books being released on Kindle really streamlined the process.
How's the translation of Black Jacket coming along?
>>92651073Tell me about it.The best I found was a weirdly formatted chinese translation of 20XX and even it contained only part of the book.
>>92673733That dad should be black, just sayan.
>>92683819Either way, I would absolutely make "to date my daughter, you must defeat me in a duel" as a tutorial duel and also to set the stage about just how ingrained Soul Card (Card Ranker's card game) is in the setting.
>>92683870The dad was only introduced to the game recently because he wants to bond with his daughter, who loves the game, and so committing to a duel instead of the usual "threaten the boyfriend" spiel is how he shows his love for her - by fighting for her on the terms she understands best.
>>92683819A black dad wouldn't know his daughter.
>>92683665May as well share at this point, but note that some terms and assets aren't final (etc etc) and the .zip files may be removed "in the future" to make room for other drive stuff.https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1i16ku1v3OAgnoiezA1j8S91DedwdKRxZ?usp=sharing
>>92683956
>>92680574The discord invite has been closed off by the owner for some time now. I wouldn't know why but it seems to have coincided with discord getting more gung-ho about loli, it's basically one report away from getting nuked. To be frank the discord isn't worth it outside the game trove which I'm sure has been shared outside it. The resident autists basically only game with their friends and their rousing personalities can be quite difficult to stomach. The discord also may or may not be on some watchlist for political extremism unironically. If you want to talk to translators, you're better off tracking them down via the specific game discords.
>>92681148I wish we were getting Meikyuu Days instead of Kingdom but still excited for this one also.
>>92687012Calling from one server, source said the server's invite link was closed down because of one really REALLY annoying person.
I'm surprised I haven't seen a game riffing on Japanese biohorror (think like Resident Evil or House of the Dead) yet. The dissonance between the horror and the over-the-top storytelling has practically cemented Japanese biohorror as its own thing.
>>92687210Nechronica?
>>92687252Nechronica is more like Silent Hill.
>>92639099>Armored Trooper VOTOMS/装甲騎兵ボトムズ>11,000 yen to 15,000 yenYeah, nah, fuck that.
>>92687357For what it's worth, the Japanese yen is currently crashing, so it's probably cheaper than you think.
>>92687210I think that niche is filled by CoC in japan.
>>92687464Even then, it's an RPG book from 2001 based on a mecha anime. $75-$100 isn't terrible for a rulebook, especially since even D&D books are running $40-50 at this point. I'm surprised it's not significantly more, even.
>>92687275>Nechronica is more like Silent Hill.Are we reading the same game?
>>92687275There are psychological elements to it, but Nechronica is about body horror, about broken girls trying to make their way in a broken world.
>>92688367Well, Silent Hill is about broken people trying to make their way in a "broken" world too, when you think about it. Chiefly the difference is that Silent Hill isn't post-apocalyptic. But that doesn't matter, what I'm saying is, Nechronica is more similar to Silent Hill than the other games I mentioned, not that Nechronica is literally a Silent Hill RPG.>>92687643CoC doesn't really scratch the same itch, players aren't killing impractical bioweapons while mad scientists go on rants about the environment and mystery men plot their revenge against the players after their plans have been foiled for the umpteenth time etc.
>>92689442>broken peopleno, by broken, we mean, literally, bodily, and physically broken.Like, are we reading the same game? Silent Hill (1~2 at least) is more a metaphor for the human psyche, the body horror you see on screen is just visuals of what is inside the character's head during their darkest time. Nechronica does factor in some mental madness as a mechanic, but the physical body is still the main foundation of the game and everything else.
>>92689483The dolls have amnesia. Through play, they discover memories and come to terms with them.
>>92689515and they can still walk around without a brain or heart too, next you gonna say they are a metaphor for purgatory?
>>92689526I'm just pointing out because of that one anon that it has more in common with Silent Hill than Resident Evil. The similarities with Resident Evil start and end with "zombies". Truthfully Nechronica is its own thing.
>>92689550Resident Evil is too tame to compare to Nechronica. If there is a vidya that fits Nechcronica's gameplay, it would be Rengoku 1~2 on PSP.
>>92668598There's an english translation of Ring Dream? AFAIK, there never was one (official or otherwise), but I haven't kept up with GURPS in years.
>>92668598This looks fucking rad.
>>92689550NTA, but you are absolutely wrong in the silent hill angle. Silent hill is a very subdued game in terms of character and creature design compared to RE and especially Nechronica and has a completely different focus for what it's doing with its psychological aspects. And more to >>92687210 Nechronica is absolutely what he's asking for. You can have a doll with 6 legs, tentacles hanging off, and an eyeball that pops out to fire laser beams as a starting character. The enemies tend to be even more absurd and most of their normal internal organs are little more than padding to be ripped out in a very violent manner. Really the main deviation from what he's asking about is that Nechronica plots are usually more sensible.
>>92693982You realize you are talking about shit that is just fluff in a TTRPG, how characters "look" is practically irrelevant. I'm talking about themes and storytelling, stuff that actually affects roleplays, since you know, it's a medium that like written fiction is best at conveying feelings rather than visuals. Nechronica is thus absolutely not suited for a Resident Evil game. It doesn't matter if the enemies can be made superficially similar to Resident Evil enemies, that isn't meaningful in a TTRPG. This discussion is totally off-base.
>>92694407>You realize you are talking about shit that is just fluff in a TTRPG, how characters "look" is practically irrelevant.You can admit to being wrong and never actually having played the game. Extra Legs is a Tier 3 mutation that lets them use damaged parts in their legs as normal as long as Extra Legs isn't damaged. Tentacles is a Tier 2 mutation that gives them a range 0-1 hinder move. Laser is an attack part that can go in the head. Sure, you can fiddle with the fluff/description but the mechanics absolutely convey fucked up monsters bashing the shit out of each other in gratuitous violence as they crush Brains (a specific part with an explicit function), snap Spines (ditto), and generally have parts ripped off of them which they then lose access to the body part's specific functions. This gratuitously violent combat is at the center of the actual game part of the game and what most of it centers around and is thus immensely important to it. The PCs are monsters on the outside with the heart of a girl within and by denying all of that with your nonsense about "fluff", you are, in fact, denying the feelings and "themes" of the game.>This discussion is totally off-base.You are completely off base about what the game is about, to the point I'm wondering if you've ever even read the book or just heard a description about it because it is very upfront about telling you this.
>>92694629You don't get it.Name the Resident Evil game where you play as an amnesiac superhuman zombie girl awakening in a wasteland with others like you, then fight superhuman zombies.Yeah, you do fight superhuman zombies in Resident Evil. As a human. Sometimes with just a knife and a pistol. Sometimes without combat training. SOMETIMES WITHOUT ANY FRIENDS TO BACK YOU UP.It's David vs Goliath, not Goliath vs Goliath. In Resident Evil you don't have the power, but you beat the ridiculous odds. That's the feel of Resident Evil (and House of the Dead, Dino Crisis, Dead Rising... Japanese biohorror. The game being asked for, not Nechronica.)
sword world leprechauns are very cute, i want to play with there fluffy ears
>>92695094So just say you want a survival horror game, then. That's what Call of Cthulhu is for - it's a Japanese staple, after all.
>>92695634CoC isn't it either. In CoC you're a coward by necessity: running, hiding, losing SAN. You're a mouse.
>>92695749For what it's worth, Dino Crisis 1 and 2 had two very different tones between them - one was a horror game that emphasized terror, and the second was a whole-ass action game.So you want a horror-type game where you can still convincingly stick it to the monsters, then?
>>92695781All the games mentioned differ in how bombastic their presentation is, or "tone", but they all fundamentally share the same ideas:1) You're a guy, usually with a gun.2) You have a partner sometimes.3) You must stop The Thing or The Event before time runs out.4) You fight your way through mostly impractical bioweapon monsters.5) You are challenged with occasional mini-crises such as saving an NPC or solving a deadly puzzle with a timer.6) Along the way you learn more about what is going on and why. The truth is extremely over-the-top, creating the iconic dissonance with the horror.7) The game world feels like an artificial labyrinth, sometimes it is a literal artificial labyrinth. There are multiple paths you can take, or shortcuts.8) The boss battles commonly feel like puzzles. The bosses are often random: one moment you fight a huge man-eating sloth, the next moment you fight a psychic bioroid. Or, in the case of Dead Rising: one moment you fight a crazy chainsaw-wielding clown, the next moment you fight a father and his sons armed with rifles who are a metaphor for gun violence or something. The unexpectedness of what you'll run into keeps the thrills going.9) The villain is often dramatically revealed to be someone connected to you or some other main character. Often, there is a bigger villain, the mystery man, plotting from the shadows.10) The day is saved. But the characters can never seem to catch a break with the sequels. The mystery men have no chill.The other stuff goes without saying: bioterrorism, shady biocorporations, bootleg Kojima politics and philosophy rants, bad acting...
>>92695972 (me)11) I forgot. The multiple endings, mostly bad endings, sometimes featuring random plot twists that you're not sure if they're canon.
>>92695094Kurayami Crying/クラヤミクライン
>>92696192https://fujimi-trpg-online.jp/game/kc.htmlInteresting-looking game but seems more oriented for ghosts and urban legends
>>92627306If this is some onmyou stuff then it looks really cool
>>92696356It's about Heian Onmyoji, written by Ryo Kamiya, I'm surprised it got little to no attention, and barely anyone talks about it when compared to his other game.https://youtu.be/b-nUIR1Mhnw
>>92696825who would have thought.
>>92695632also wonder when 2.5 will get rules for Miakis, unless they plan of changing that to be a Lycant variant.
