/jp/ - Otaku Culture

that shits for nerds

>>10825541
I wish we could, but the only mmo games that I know that actually have a focus on role playing are lame text based ones, do you have anything in mind?

Isn't there some cool new web application everyone uses for these?

I remember Fantasy Grounds and Virtual Tabletop but they were a little awkward to use.

>>10825569
For some reason I thought OP was talking about mmorpg...
Virtual tabletop doesn't seem bad.

Some people were interested in doing Maid RPG like a year ago then T*kik* jumped in and took over and I didn't feel like dealing with that.

You can use something like YIM. There's a website around here that does dicerolls for you! You can even make your own room for it. It's really neat.

>>10825656
I'm stealing all your images.

>>10825659
Go for it, Anon!

>>10825656
>YIM
Does that stand for yahoo instant messenger?

>>10825668
Yeah.

I used it a while back for stuff like that. Skype might be a better bet! Or Steam. Whatever everyone else has.

>>10825677
Does YIM allow group chats?

>>10825689
Yup. But it's quite clunky. Sometimes messages don't get sent and all that.

Steam and Skype are nice though!

Apparently a lot of roleplayers on YIM though.
Lewd ones at that!

>>10825698
Well, if any of you feel like playing just send me an email, I'm available during weekends.

Depends on the system. Also, I don't like RPG by voice.

>>10825732
Agreed with this anon.

Doing these by voice is infinitely more awkward.

Maid RPG is too creepy.

Is there some sort of otaku culture wargame that could be played online?

>>10826053
Sword World RPG? ┐('～`；)┌

>>10826053
>Is there some sort of otaku culture wargame that could be played online?
Meikyuu Kingdom. It's one of the best around, generally speaking Japanese or not.
It is only available in Japanese though.

It's an incredible game though. It's a shame it hasn't been brought overseas.

Is Sword Girls still a thing

>>10826126
A more proper question is, has it ever been a thing?

>>10826126
It's still running. That's a game I would play a RPG version of though.

>>10826109
Care to elaborate on it any?

>>10826109
Are there scans of it? I know someone who wanted to help fund translating it.

>>10826177
>Care to elaborate on it any?
I have some quite elaborate posts hidden in the /tg/ archives somewhere but I can't find them.
So let me just share this.

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/2427551/

But crudely put, it's really quite the fun dungeon crawler, that also happens to be easily customizable, and encompasses quite the elaborate management system as if you were playing My life as a King or something as well.
A world of dungeons, and you the players claim these dungeons as you/in order to expand your kingdom.

You the players are actually in charge of building your kingdom and setting up various facilities that can benefit your kingdom and or your players as you build your party to further dungeon crawl and expand your kingdom.
You can fluff it as Dwarf Fortress or whatever you want really. Flexible and great fun. Incorporates quite good world building elements that depending on the group can be elaborated upon quite a bit. And on the technical level it is really quite intriguing to gather together as a group in order to triumph over the Dungeon Master's schemes and the dungeons.

>>10826327
I tried to buy that game once and failed.

>>10826407
But seriously, if any of you guys know where I can buy a copy of the game, I'll get it and upload the scans.

What the fuck? That page was legit. That I know.

>>10826906
>Sandstein

Oy vey!

>>10826906
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Meiky%C5%AB_Kingdom&action=history
I could cite sources for that myself or even pages for the stuff that was in that article.
That guy should get himself banned.

>>10826906
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Meiky%C5%AB_Kingdom

This is kind of silly. The overall reason seems to be that it's not notable because it didn't have much English coverage. Coverage is one of the criteria for notability on Wikipedia, but I think Narutolovehinata5 basically summed it up. "I can't read Japanese, therefore this thing isn't notable."

Hey, if you guys want the Maid RPG pdf, I bought it like a year ago and threw it up.

http://www.mediafire.com/?v20ss4d5g2c4ub2

Have fun!

>>10826952
In just one month, barely. It got deleted because of stupid reasons like that.

The information in that article was all taken from the publishers and developer's site on the books. The chapters on the books themselves. And a little tidbits from the cards that are bundled with the games.

If they just had any idea of what they were talking about, they should have realized that.
But it seems like some of them initially didn't even understand that it was a pen & paper table top RPG.

The stupidity. And due to how hasty they all were about it, it can't be restored. Why do they even care? Clearly they didn't even know what Meikyuu Kingdom is, so just how did they think that they could properly judge whether or not it non-notable?

>>10827016
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review#Purpose
Deletion Review may be used:

1. if someone believes the closer of a deletion discussion interpreted the consensus incorrectly,
2. if a speedy deletion was done outside of the criteria or is otherwise disputed,
3. if significant new information has come to light since a deletion that would justify recreating the deleted page,
4. to have the history of a deleted page restored behind a new, improved version of the page (called a history-only undeletion),
5. if a page has been wrongly deleted with no way to tell what exactly was deleted, or
6. if there were a substantive procedural error(s) in the deletion discussion or speedy deletion.

This sounds pretty fun. Though I have no experience other than a few sessions of 3.5 D&D years ago. And even then my roleplay attempts were very awkward.

>>10827016
The point is not that it wasn't accurate, but that it was non-notable.

For example, I can write an article about myself using accepted sources, but I'm not a notable person. They check different things to decide this, ranging from news sources to Google results.

I think that's silly though, because it has a Japanese entry nobody is complaining about. I'm guessing there's a lot of information on it available in Japan, but the idea here was that they couldn't find much English information, so all those Japanese pages are irrelevant. This might be an official policy somewhere, but given how international the Web is, I think it's pretty stupid. Something can be huge in one country but have no information on it in English, it still deserves an English encyclopedia entry even if you have to use non-English sources.

Also there's a Lithuanian article on the game, for some reason. I doubt there's much Lithuanian information, but then again I doubt anyone cares enough to moderate the Lithuanian Wikipedia.

>>10826971
nice, thank you.

>>10827072
Same here. I really wanted to role-play too, but local culture makes things like that difficult. We're bred to respond to things like role-playing with the same knee-jerk reaction as when something is overly camp or makes you cringe.
Whenever the issue of talking in-character came up, we either did it in an overly brief and casual way, or in a stupid, ironic way.

>>10827105
>but that it was non-notable.
Well sure. I guess. But you know.
Relatively speaking, it was about as notable as it could be.

>>10826971
Thank you very much!

I want to be a brownskin, trap maid! Please recruit me?

>>10827105
>For example, I can write an article about myself using accepted sources, but I'm not a notable person. They check different things to decide this, ranging from news sources to Google results.
I think it shouldn't be too hard to publish a modified version of the deleted page in one of the anime/doujin/whatever news sources or in a popular blog, probably stir some interest in a relevant forum, if someone cared enough, and then they won't be able to say it is non-notable. But yeah, that's stupid.

>>>/tg/24573876

I tried to organize a group on steam to play Maid RPG like a year ago.

No one actually really wanted to play, and it devolved into circlejerking until it died.

>>10827249
>a modified version of the deleted page
Yeah. Too bad the latest Waybackmachine archive of the thread is 5 years old and horribly outdated and inaccurate.

>>10827309

>>10827304
What do you mean " devolved into circlejerking"?

>>10827345
Depends how complicated it is.

I might be able to help translate, but I'm no good at editing images.

>>10825541
OP you should try asking in /tg/ running games online isn't that hard and /tg/ actually fucking love maids (we did play a part in the official english translation)
Have a look here for a bunch of tools
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/vtt.html
IRC, forums and even skype with some tweaking are fine to run games

Do I have to wait a maid outfit when I play?

I tried to play with a group of people over the internet once. After making a character, I ended up not saying anything the whole time since everyone seemed so experienced at it and always knew how to proceed to make things interesting.
It's hard.

>>10828690
Didn't the DM ask you what your character was doing?

>>10828690

/jp/ pls

Pls /jp/, no be intimidated

/jp/ u can do it I believe in u ;_;

>>10825569
roll20.net is the new standard

>>10828690
You have to talk while playing online? You can't just type it out instead?

>>10829505
Jesus christ, man.

Fuck off back to where you came from.

Why do /tg/ and /co/ think they're hot shit top notch posters, again?

I've played and run Maid over IRC, it can be pretty fun. There are a lot of other games that I wish would come over though, some of them already in the thread.

Would /jp/ prefer a touhou game though? There's some of those to.

I've never played a serious RPG. I'd love if it if I could play with people online because I keep hearing fun stories about it.
Some internet friend of mine told me he would explain how to play but he got busy and forgot all about it.

>>10831375

Why are you so angry, Anon?

>>10831423
I've played and GMed a few Touhou Flowers games. It was pretty fun but there was barely any roleplay element so it mostly just turned into a game to play while drinking.

I am a web programming.

Would /jp/ like make cute game website to play?

>>10831561
yes, onii-chan!

>>10831561
That would be great.

Wait so you're not allowed to have sex in this game? Lame.

>>10832067
What, Maid? It's supposed to be something lighthearted, and something you could play with the family (even if that IS weird), but there's no rules against fucking the other maids and master.

>>10832326

Please do not be lewd, /jp/. Cute roleplaying games are for cute people with cute objectives, not gross awful lewd people!! It's bad enough we have to have those weirdos from /d/ hanging around, don't become like them!

Sincerely,
-/tg/

>>10825541
Hey OP, guy from /tg/ that drifted in /jp/ for the first time out of boredom. It must be fate.

Anyway, I mastered some Maid RPG games, a lot if we also count derivatives, like High School RPG (which has a clearer path and a less important "master" role). Including in real life. And, I'm a bit rusty, since I haven't really played or mastered anything recently, but I was planning on doing something anyway to get my groove back a bit, if only because two friends recently received imported maid costumes.

So, yeah, online running can totally work, I tend to be more used to IRC. Though with some actual friends you can't meet, voice chat can really help things out, as games can get ridiculously long and bogged down. If you plan to make any sort of progression, you'll need at LEAST an afternoon.

>>10832369
It's just a pretend game.

>>10832383

It's awful!! You could be playing roleplaying games to be a cool defender of justice, or a cute magical girl, or any number of things, and you'd want to do it to have pretend *sex* with people!?

Don't go over to the lewd side, /jp/! Please remain cute and pure and good!!

>>10832396
I agree with you, however the roleplayed sex doesn't have to be sexual.

>>10832404

Well, I mean, if it's just some "fade to black" thing then I guess that's not so bad. But don't go being weird about it!

>>10832366
What IRC channel do you use? Can anyone just watch?

>>10832420
Oh, that was a hella lot time ago. Like, at least three years. Since then I didn't master anything on IRC, so I don't know if anything is still active or somesuch. Off the top of my head, it was #dungeonOOC on the irc.rizon.net server.

IRC is probably the easiest way to get one started. A chat client that allowed separate tabs (for GM/DM/alliance/whatever), some avatars, character sheet integration, and saved logs would be amazing though.
I'm sure that exists somewhere the problem is just finding it I guess.

>>10849587

Is this going to end in sex?

>>10828690
Anon, you should have stuck to it for a bit longer! Everyone starts off like that, but that's just because it's new and you're not quite sure of what you can do. Just give it a chance, and I'm sure you'll find out that your contribution to the game is just as important, and just as amazing.
