/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Sure is /tg/ in here...

Yukari is such a Plane Jane.

>>1013695
Goddamn it.

Yukari gets her shoes at the gap.

>>1013714
king, enough knives, etc.

What is the link in-between /jp/ and /tg/? I know /v/ was once in on this secret friendship, but they're long gone. So what keeps Japan/General and Traditional Games together?

>>1013787
Touhou. No seriously.

>>1013787

/v/ never had friends. Even back when I was stuck in shitty /a/ and we were bemoaning how shitty it was, we used to console ourselves by saying "at least we aren't /v/."

/tg/ is just an awesome board, easily the best remaining on 4chan. And there's the Touhou connection. I'm really fucking jealous of /tg/, but I never really did the whole tabletop thing other than some wargames with my dad.

>>1013787
Touhou. Really.
We have at least two touhoufags who are a lot into character optimization for D&D 4th edition and help people understand the system and all. Plus, they like to break it.
And they routinely spam touhou.
And then there's the guy that statted up some Touhoes as Exalted entities. Koakuma and Patchouli as demons, and Yukari as a celestial goddess.

>>1013884
Patchouli as a demon? She would be at best a lich, at worst a human wizard. Alice would be more like a demon- wait, what am I talking about.

Well, now I know why touhou and D&D are linked. The secrets of the universe become clearer to me.

>>1013884
Damn, I can see clearly now just how bizzare and out of place their outfits our compared to our world.

>>1013884
Damn, I can see clearly now just how bizzare and out of place their outfits are compared to our world.

D&D sucks.

I think almost every one here agrees, but that real world yukari pic is awsome...FUKKEN SAVED...

>>1013896

Well, there are no liches in Exalted. Demons aren't your usual pitchfork-wielding ugly red orcs on fire, but alien creatures that follow incomprehensible but predictable behavioral patterns and exist in a simple three-layered hierarchy.

This reminded me of the SDM. Patchu uses magic based on the day of the week. Some days she can't use her most powerful spells, and on other she can. the mistress of the house can manipulate destiny and her sister is locked up in the basement because she has the power to destroy the universe. The maid is human but with ridiculous reality-bending powers.
Koakuma = Demon of the First Circle
Patchouli = Demon of the Second Circle
Meiling = Demon of the Second Circle
Remilia = Demon of the Third Circle
Flandre = Demon of the Third Circle
Sakuya = Infernal Exalted (basically a human hero that has been chosen by the demon princes to serve them).

Despite everything, Touhou is quite loved on /tg/. Another touhoufag is DMing a D&D campaign via chat.
The characters that signed up are, for now (straight from our wiki):
* Reimu Hakurei, spirit-touched human wizard/cleric/Divine Oracle

>>1013973
orrick is so a touhou you shut up

>>1013884
Like the guy who made a character that did 10000 DPS (in a setting where the most powerful monster has 1500HP) and named her after Cirno?
Good Times!

>>1013998
Who needs 10k DPS when you have Wish?

>>1014182
Wish can backfire horribly. By saying something as trivial as 'I wish to be the little girl', you could cause your party to be destroyed, a whole plane of existence warped, and the disappearance of three minor deities. NEVER want to become the little girl.

>>1014237
I need that book.

>>1014253
Only if your DM is out to get you. Buy him a beer before the game.

>>1014253
I remember a story about a guy using Wish.
He wished into existance a spear made of 25,000,000 copper things to kill a Black Dragon or something like that. He ended up killing the dragon and the gate it guarded.

>>1014253
It usually only backfires when you ask for something complex, too specific, or something that would break the game.

>>1014237
>Youki Suika
Wut?

>>1013973
>Patchu uses magic based on the day of the week

no...her types of magic share the same names as the japanese days of a week, btw some of those names are also the same as the planets in our solar system. if you need a better example of this, go watch look up.....gasp...sailor moon. ever wonder why some of them had elemental affinities? it's because of the names

it has nothing to do with when she can use what

>>1013973
>Patchu uses magic based on the day of the week

not really...her types of magic share the same names as the japanese days of a week, btw some of those names are also the same as the planets in our solar system. if you need a better example of this, go watch look up.....gasp...sailor moon. ever wonder why some of them had elemental affinities? it's because of the names

it has nothing to do with what's based on what. it just so happens the words themselves are actual elements

>>1014762
It says Ibuki, not Youki.

>>1014762
Suika is Youmu's father.

>>1014253

Miracle then.

>>1014793
Pretty much the same thing. It just uses Divine intervention instead of Arcane shit.

>>1014813

That's my point.
It's less likely to fuck you over, though.

>>1014768
I watched Sailor Moon. I know enough japanese to know what 日月火水木金土 means, they're the name of the days, of the elements (plus sun and moon) and of the visible planets up to jupiter (plus sun and moon). That's beside the point, but, if it makes you happier:

"This reminded me of the SDM. Patchu uses magic based on the day of the week/the planets/the elements. Some days she can't use her most powerful spells, and on others she can."

>>1014750
I thought the more specific you are the better.

>>1014847

Depends on if you can get specific enough to cover your ass while keeping it short enough that your DM can't come up with a way to fuck you over.

>>1014855

You could also, you know, have a gaming group that grew out of the "players vs. DM" five-year-old mentality.

>>1014877

That sort of mentality is the entire purpose of Wish. If it were just a friendly game, it most likely wouldn't even be used.

>>1014877
The fun of wish IS the backfiring.

Say, does anyone still have the Touhou for Exalted stuff?

Thanks!

Code drunk.
Draw drunk.
DM drunk.
Play drunk.
Graze drunk.

Touhou is a drinking game.

Wish and Miracle aren't in 4E.

At least, not in the sense of "At Level X, you can force your wishes unto the world Y times per day"

>>1015395
Touhou played AS a drinking game might work. Lose a life? Drink. Bomb? Drink. Clear the mid-boss without getting hit? Everyone else drinks. Clear the level boss without getting hit? Everyone drinks.
