I can tell even through the borderline machine translation this story is kinda dull. The only thing it has going for it is showing off a sample
#SwordWorld 2.5 session

Even though the dialogue is rough (no fault of the translation), I am enjoying what I have read so far as how SNE expects a
#SwordWorld 2.5 campaign to flow.

Really getting into
#SwordWorld 2.5 as of late and this a very interesting read as it has everything you would want to know as a Player, GM, or just Lore enthusiast

#SwordWorld the chad Fan Translation vs the virgin Official Translation

My new special interest as of late has been going through and learning a lot about Japanese #TTRPG like #SwordWorld and daydreaming about one day getting people to play with me.

Also found a large percent of the Books have
Fan Translations in to English.

Also
MugenGames is going to launch this series over in the west later this year so will probably back it when they launch the crowd funding campaign. (I already pledged a $5 USD reservation)

This video does a great job explaing how Sword World came to be with its roots in the old anime
Record of Lodoss War

I've been diving into anime/manga that are clearly inspired by #DnD and #SwordWorld for quite a bit, and i want more recommendations!

So far i got:
- Record of Lodoss War;
- Slayers;
- Dungeon Meshi;
- Frieren;
- Goblin Slayer;
- Konosuba.

What else should i read and watch?

I was today years old when I found out that Record of Lodoss War was based on the actual play transcripts of a #DnD game, specifically red box Mentzer Basic edition, and that #TSR shot themselves in the foot by pressuring the publishers with their #copyright, so the publishers invented a whole new #TTRPG system, which is #SwordWorld #RPG.

I feel particularly odd about this, since I wrote the review of the #Lodoss #OVA #anime series in #d8Magazine in the mid 1990s, not knowing this. #gaming

Who knew Japan's famous pen and paper RPG Sword World had not one but two games on the Super Famicom.

I wish these get translated someday, despite the language barrier what little I played of 1 gave me the impression it's more along the lines of a top down Wizardry. I wonder what the NDS version's like...
