I would have guessed something like D&D, a Samurai type game, a Supers game maybe with Sentai type emphasis, or a cyberpunk game - CoC would not have been in my top 5. <br /><br />Thanks BA!Blacksteelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289298640828309072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465863144787683153.post-71324693098327495842021-05-17T14:30:04.454-04:002021-05-17T14:30:04.454-04:00I was surprised to see that CoC was one of the gam...I was surprised to see that CoC was one of the games translated in Japanese. thank to your post, I understand why. <br />Many horror movies and book are about people getting hideously killed by monster. With CoC the characters loose their sanity. <br />And (I'm over-simplifying) many Japanese are more afraid of loosing their place in the society than loosing their life. (Insanity is a good way to be shunned by others.)<br /><br />By the way, last time I was in Japan, I saw a box of HarnMaster 3rd edition in Japanese. I don't know if the whole game was translated or just the box.<br /><br />For RPG fans that travel to Japan, there is a Yellow Submarine Shop in Akihabara that sells TRPG. <br />Alqualondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11635109397408419230noreply@blogger.com
