Quote from: BarefootGaijin;778004I travelled down to the Day Dream TRPG cafe to pick this up today as they have a print copy. It was in French. My French is only marginally better than my Japanese, but not good enough to use for RPGs.

You can get the Japanese version legally online for free: http://www.j-comi.jp/book/comic/43101

English language version should be up at DTRPG in 6-8 weeks and can be preordered here: http://kotodama.bigcartel.com/

I suddenly got an urge to run Lost Mine of Phandelver with Ryuutama. Anyone keen? :)

I just laid down money for the PDF. The pre-release is now on my HDD. I have started reading it. It is lovely.
I play these games to be entertained... I don't want to see games about rape, sodomy and drug addiction... I can get all that at home.

It's very cool both mechanically and in presentation.

The Ent

Strongly considering backing this thing. :)

It certainly looks both really beautyful and well thought out.

Argh. :o

Well, strongly considering simply getting it then. :D

You can preorder Ryuutama here: http://kotodama.bigcartel.com/.

Not the same as backing the KS but you should get the book and PDF quicker, when it's released.

Anyone for some old school action with Ryuutama? I fancy running Tomb of Horrors with it. Would it work?

Though it would, I think something that utilises the journeying focus would be better. Also a greater potential for social interaction might be good. Keep of the Borderlands and Secret of Bone Hill might be better old school modules.

Just subscribing to this thread. I normally hate Japanese TRPGs and I'm not an anime/manga fan but this looks really cool.
