Japanese RPG GameBomb!
Posted: June 14th, 2011, 11:19 pm
Heya all!
Just confirmed (well, I'm waiting for my boss to say I'm free that weekend, but it's pretty much in the bag), I'm going!
I'll be bringing Tenra Bansho Zero (www.tenra-rpg.com), which is coming out this year yadda yadda yadda. Waffling on long games or quick demos, maybe a combination of both.
Anyway, some of these Japanese games have been on my mind recently, as a bunch are going to be released in the next year or so, so I'll likely be bringing as well:
Shinobigami (http://d66roc.wordpress.com/2010/11/11/ ... ter-sheet/ ), a true "Story Game" about ninja high-schoolers who keep secrets from each other.
Alshard ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alshard ), a Japanese game that is based off of console games like Final Fantasy, set in a magical-tech mashup world based on Norse mythos.
Ryuutama ( http://www.story-games.com/forums/comme ... ionID=5815 , http://d66roc.wordpress.com/2011/01/30/ ... -thoughts/ ), a light "feelgood" ("honobono" in Japanese, basically a combination of feel-good, nostalgia, innocence) fantasy game, basically the opposite of grimdark.
Yuuyake Koyake/Golden Sky Stories ( http://j-rpg.com/talk/comments.php?DiscussionID=8 ), another feelgood RPG where you play animal spirits in a small town who help townspeople with mundane problems. A diceless game that reeks of the family-oriented Miyazaki anime.
Anyway, that's what's on my mind, currently thinking out slots and playing and stuff now. But doubtless if someone is interested in any of these we could at least bust out a quick demo, if I'm not running an official session.
Next: Sort through thoughts, post actual events!
