Who knew you could play Doraemon in CoC?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_CoYhCG5bo
Well, there IS a reason CoC is considered the top TTRPG in Japan.(second is Sword World)
a video or two about it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmZH2hYDaqEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fyi_ytn1JbUalso that one show they made that Waifu'd some of the cosmic horrors has a bunch of nods to some of the more popular replays of the game, such as Rlyeh Antique.https://heavens-feel.com/rlyehantique.html
>>98475661I'll bite. What the FUCK are doraemon's stats in the setting?And how much sanity does Nobita have?
These thumbnails are killing me
>>98475668Sword World has actually overtaken CoC in the last two years (but only super narrowly) apparently.
>>98475720The stats are in the video but it looks like they may be using 6e.
>>98475661I mean, officialy Buddha is a Great OId One in Secrets of Japan.
>>98475727Hate that guy
Now this is pod racing
>>98475668And I struggle to get what reason it is because CoC sucks cocks. Though I guess the Japanese way of playing it ignores a lot of the worst subsystems.
>>98477910>a lot of the worst subsystems.Which are?
>>98477910Well it's not as though the top TTRPG in most of the rest of the world doesn't also suck cocks.
>>98478080Character creation/advancement, combat, sanity.
>>98478342I don't see the issue with advancement. You successfully use a skill and there's a chance you can improve it.
>>98478431It incentivizes spamming rolls until you can tick the box, doesn't model learning from failure, punishes careful preparation (in 7e) and I don't like luck-based advancement.
Is there a japanese anon here that could explain me why CoC (and BRP?) is so beloved and utilized in Japan?What's the deal? Why?
>>98480930Fish-based horror and settings compatible with the "X, but in modern Tokyo" format are relatable to the Japanese mindset
>>98475702Keep up fampai, there was an animu last year with Chulhu and pals in it where the protags had sanity meters.though it was about streamers
>>98481048This was Cthulhu
>>98480930Nippon very small, very busy workingu for brack kompani, no time for rong campaign, gaymu god for ichi-shottu become very big in japan!
>>98480970>Fish-basedOh, so it goes great with rice and nori.
>>98481055>This was CthulhuWould.
>>98481048>>98481055The Tick-Tock Man seems like a really obscure Mask of Nyarlathotep, but why does he appear in so much Japanese media? Did he just kind of click with the Japanese?
>>98478342No they love sanity
>>98475661Bump for interest.
>>98480930BRP seems versatile enough for generic urban shenanigans
