Erebro posted:Although I think the creator admitted that the dolls were actually a little too skeevy still. Don't quote me, but I think he did say there is also art in there he's embarrassed by. You may be thinking about Diaper Girl*, the unfortunately-dressed ninjette under the dust cover. I'm not going to tread on Prof's writeup, but the director's commentary about that part may be what you're thinking of. It's also pretty much gold, and something I wish more RPGs would come with, translations or not. *  Let me stop you right there. It's not actually a diaper. But it is dumb as hell.

InfiniteJesters posted:Where is this director's commentary, if I may ask? It was a Kickstarter exclusive, to the best of my knowledge. The TBZ storefront doesn't offer it as an option. (But there are still hardcover copies, which are fukkin' radical, let me tell you. Get those if you get a physical copy.) MadScientistWorking posted:Are we talking about the translator or the original creator because for the most part the translator kind of slams a lot of the artwork in the book? The translator, Andy Kitowski. I'm not familiar with Inoue commenting on much of the original, but I'd be interested as hell if you can source something in English.

It doesn't seem to say, but I bet you could get in touch with Andy and ask if you can purchase the PDF version. He goes by DiamondSutra on these here forums, though it's been a while since he was active, I believe. Fake edit: Have a contact page for the relevant website. http://kotohi.com/?page_id=10

There's at least one rules-related comic in each chapter between Basic Rules and Scenario Creation. 1) Make sure you're looking at the rulebook and not the worldbook, and 2) Make sure you're looking at the full rulebook and not the plaintext one. The full one's identical to the print version, has all kinds of cruft and silly header typefaces and so on. E: to make this post more generally useful. The guy who did the TBZ rules comics (and a couple of the NPC portraits) calls himself Hayame Rasenjin. He does a lot of illustration for Japanese tabletop games, and is clearly a giant nerd. This is relevant, because if you played Planescape, you might remember this DiTerlizzi illustration:  Way back in the primitive days of the internet, Tony D held a contest to draw that character. I think the winners got a signed sketchbook or something. Anyway, one of the entries was this:  Which was pretty weird and wild, considering this was when things like Saturday Anime on Sci-fi were novel. Years, years later, I find out it's the same guy who did the illos for TBZ and a few other JTRPGs. Anime, anime never changes. grassy gnoll fucked around with this message at 02:13 on Apr 1, 2014 |

The advancement system straight up doesn't want you to spend kiai on permanent dice and instead prefers you buy temporary bonuses. One kiai buys you a bonus die with an unlimited cap. Buying a permanent bonus die is ten kiai. Temporarily increasing a skill is also much cheaper than buying it permanently. Keep in mind that any expenditure of kiai increases your karma. The only way you get those bonuses OR advancement without a cost is to exchange aiki (not kiai) at a one to one rate for a bonus die. This is a bad deal any way you look at it, because you can trade aiki for kiai at a substantially increased rate during the intermissions between acts. If you're thinking this whole system sounds like bullshit, I was right there with you until I played the game. In actual gameplay, you should A) be moving fast enough that you're more worried about the immediate situation instead of your next "level up," and B) you should be doing enough cool things to have aiki flowing like water. Prof. Prof is not technically correct about one aspect of aiki donation. The GM can bribe players with aiki for pretty much any reason, especially for moving along the Emotion Matrix. Secondly, you're not limited to giving three aiki a scene - you're just supposed to keep a few in your hand to give out at any given time, and three's a good number to keep you thinking about the process. The system breaks down if you're handing out chits for things like remembering to breathe or entering a scene, but rewarding particularly good rolls, snappy one-liners or killer jokes keeps things well-lubricated.

Time to sperg out: what really gets me is the comparative lack of mineral resources in the Caribbean. Although for a setting about airplanes, it does work out pretty nicely that Jamaica has a huge bauxite lode. I dunno, maybe the aristocrats of Azure are walking around with aluminum jewelery.

ascendance posted:Hey, there's this guy. Let's physically assault him because that'll shut him up. Seriously, between this and the ongoing slapfight in the Kickstarter thread, what's going on with this loving forum as of late? I never thought I'd say this, but please post more about Vampire LARPing so we can move on.

The Deleter posted:Realtalk I'd play an EDF rpg with some mild crunch and rules for determining just how much collateral damage that giant robot just did. Swap out robots with giant bugs and you have, with astonishing accuracy, described Last Stand, down to managing how much collateral throwing that car at that guy just did.

Halloween Jack posted:Except with the fact that being swallowed by a 50-foot-tall Babs Bunny is a sexual fantasy you can't satisfy in real life. I've spent five minutes bashing my head against a post implying that, on account of the quality of my posts, I've been to a Bohemian Grove party where such a thing happened, but ironically it's just not coming.

Azran posted:In what language is the title for that liberfurry game written in? Latin. Actual-factual Virgilese doesn't have J or U characters because it's hard as gently caress to draw those particular curves with a chisel into stone, and slightly less difficult to do so with a stylus into a wax tablet. Even classicists don't write out inscriptions that way, because we have digital typesetting technology, and also that printing press thing I guess. "Here be dragons," although I'm 90% sure that's anachronistic. What I'm getting at is that this is both pretentious and incorrect in equal measures.

You can use "hc" instead of "hic" if you're a vulgate None of which touches on naming your transhumanist speculative-fiction RPG after a medieval scribe's version of "I don't know, just make some poo poo up."

Hold up, the furry-slayers-knockoff RPG got Stephen loving Silver to do their interior illos? Are Sanguine just the only guys catering to this market, or are there a shitload of furry roleplayers who also want dice involved?

So here's a story about these comics. The guy who drew them is Hayami Rasenjin. He's done illustrations for a lot of Japanese tabletop games. He's also a bigger nerd than any of us. Back around 99, 2000ish, he did this.  Which was a submission for a fanart competition back in the primordial days of the internet. It's this.  The Catlord from Planescape. Tony DiTerlizzi, the guy who drew most of Planescape and a huge portion of the 2E monster manual, was the one hosting the contest. Rasenjin was the runner-up,as I recall. Bonus space beholder:
