>The players take the part of these Dolls, and in addition to premade characters, are able to create a character from scratch. This involves choosing a combination of ‘types’, which determine how others see the Doll as well as what sort of fighting skills it will have. Players must also then determine what ‘parts’ to assemble their Doll with. You are literally creating this Doll from scratch. You can add a tail to your Doll’s torso to make it move faster, or shove spikes into its legs to have it do more damage. Chainsaws do tons of damage, and you can opt to equip a metal brainpan for more defense. During battle, everytime you take damage, you’ll lose these parts as they are torn off or blasted apart. After battle you can take the parts of fallen enemies to regenerate your lost parts.

So...you play as the undead little girl-doll...chop up other little girl-dolls, take their body parts, and make yourself stronger?

Sounds like the setting for a guro-horror movie set in the grim darkenest futuristicyness japanesiest city ever.

This sounds pretty retarded. Why would Dolls even be made? Of what use are they? Unless Necromancers are all explicitly paedos or something which honestly, I wouldn't put past Japan.

>The Long Long Sequel

Personally I found it to be too short

>>16415111
And the author is the same person who made the Maid RPG.

>>16415111
Your description actually made me think of a more biological based Rengoku.
Also Japanese, the the surprise of no one.

So MAID RPG with the Master being Necromancer and Maid being undead little girl?
Franken Fran much?

STALKER: Shadow of Fukushima

Having submerged myself in the internet fairly significatly, I was thinking that there wasn't much that could phase me ( I DID get through most of Mai's Everyday life afterall...) This is almost too much. Still, I can see the appeal.

> For whatever reason
And there ladies and gentlemen is the mark of bad writing.

Honestly I think I'd prefer the one where all the major European philosophers of the last two thousand years are Japanese high school schoolgirls.

(Kant is a hall monitor and Hegel is a titty monster, I don't know why)

>>16415230
Don't worry brah, it's awwwwright!

>>16415230

Outside of the shock value, its just a substitution of themes. Instead of a typical post apocalyptic scenario, its a world ravaged by mutants and ruled by the undead. Instead of a tribal, gang, or village leader, you're a necromancer. Instead of fellow survivors and mercenaries, you have Dolls. Instead of weapons and equipment, you have augmentations. Although there is no character death, there is character annihilation.

>>16415195
Complete with loli and beta as fuck MC.

>>16415230
>Well, first I was gonna pop this guy hanging from the street light, and I realized, y'know, he's just working out. I mean, how would I feel if somebody come runnin' in the gym and bust me in my ass while I'm on the treadmill? Then I saw this snarling beast guy, and I noticed he had a tissue in his hand, and I'm realizing, y'know, he's not snarling, he's sneezing. Y'know, ain't no real threat there. Then I saw little Tiffany. I'm thinking, y'know, eight-year-old white girl, middle of the ghetto, bunch of monsters, this time of night with quantum physics books? She about to start some shit, Zed. She's about eight years old, those books are WAY too advanced for her. If you ask me, I'd say she's up to something. And to be honest, I'd appreciate it if you eased up off my back about it.

>>16415292
Damn you .
Haha

This sounds interesting, except, you ARE going to be fighting mutants and undead, not just other little girls, right?

>>16415266
The title is: Tsundere, Heidegger, and Me

>>16415286
And it's illustrated by Akita Morgue, who is like the Keith Thompson of mutated monster girls.

>>16415378

Ohh, its an RPG? Sounds way too fucking creepy for an RPG.

i'm not sure whether to be turned on by this

>>16415230

What is Mai's everyday life about anyway? is it just bdsm slavery stuff or proper guro? I always see people namedrop it but they never tell me what it is when I ask.

So, if there are no more humans, then what are the necromancers then? Also, the little girl thing is stupid, and the fact that it is explicitly trying to sell this pedophile's wet dream as being the main appeal of the game is just disturbing. Really love how the corpses grow so attached to their dear oni-chan...

>>16415662
>So, if there are no more humans, then what are the necromancers then?

Nanite swarms controlled by artificial intelligences?

>>16415585
'Tis proper guro.

>>16414965
In the name of all that is holy, the FUCK is this?

That imagery is almost fucked up enough to make me want to play it...

>>16415266
>>16415378
>>16415401
Nothing new here. The only thing Japan haven't turn into little girl yet is probably stone age people.
They even have litte girl version of every historical people from Mayan king to Hitler.

>>16414965

what exactly are necromancers in the setting.

I'm betting pervy robots.

>>16415585
And I quote:
"Baby-fuck, baby-fuck; it's awwwwwwwright!"
Yeah, that's the one.
Though it's kind of tame, honestly.

Does anybody have a copy of the rule book? I don't do moonrunes, but I might be able to come up with a workable translation.

That actually sounds pretty cool; body horror is certainly an ASPECT of a lot of games, but there aren't many where it's the central theme

>>16416074
I'm this guy.

I just downloaded what I think is a free version of the rule book. It's 40 pages long.
Does anybody know of a program or tool that can interface with & translate PDF files?

Being a raging weeaboo, with weeaboo friends, if someone could scrounge up a copy of the rulebook, I cam guarantee I could come up with a translation for the thing.

That said, I guess I'll boot up Share and take a look there.

>>16416507
gonna link/upload it for the rest of us?

>>16416606
Oh, or I guess I could just go to the site and download it myself. Lazy fuck.

>>16416625
No need for that, dude. I'm uploading that shit to a filesharing site right now. I just have no idea what I'm doing.

>>16416625
Oh nevermind, it's just a replay

Sounds pretty cool, if you played it straight and not as 'teehee, my little girl rubs her zombie boobies and giggles.'

>>16416536
is "TRPG" a good cluster keyword for stuff like this? I've never used Share before but I probably should, considering all the shit I'm interested in

>>16416662
A 40 page replay? That's somewhat depressing. And just when the upload had finished....
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=483VPQN5

There it is anyway, if anybody wants it.

>>16416682
If you actually get the full rulebook for this, put that shit up here on the double!
Hell, I thought I was the only one interested in this.

what will determine whether this is awesome or crap, imo, will be whether combat is fun and fast, and whether antagonists have to be custom built or not.

>>16416606
I don't think it's actually translated. I think he's just posting it here for us to make fun of/be disgusted by/get secret boners from. Also didn't 4chan try to make something like this a while ago? Some gothic lolita thing where everyone was undead.

>>16416828
I'm less worried about good system design, and more worried about
>>16416681
To be honest, I don't know anyone that could pull it off.

This looks creepypedo but you wouldn't have to play as little girls. Could just say "any age/gender." I'd like to see the rules for tricking out your super zombie, though.

I've found some archives threads where 2ch talks about the game. Going over them now for links and mechanics discussion.

>>16416890

Good work man. Let us know if you find anything.

In the meantime maybe we could enlist a qualified weeaboo to check out that 40-page thing and see what it is, exactly?

>>16416933
A teaser, mostly.
Seems the book only costs 3,000 JPY. Maybe I'll throw it on one of my next orders. Don't have a scanner though, so it'd be hard to share with /tg/.

Actual book is 208 pages, if anyone cares. That should be about 60Mb or so.

>>16416977
Can't you get it in a PDF, then upload it for our viewing pleasure?

>>16416857
>To be honest, I don't know anyone that could pull it off.

Have them read Franken Fran first. It's just about a primer for how to do 'dark, horribly gory, and cute without being overtly sexual.'

>>16416857
but, uhh, there's nothing actually requiring you to play dolls as little girls, you can just have it be post apoc frankenstein quest. We already know Maid RPG is totally arbitrary in terms of having to be about Maids.

>>16416977
>>16417009
See
>>16416695

What we need is a translation

Alright I asked my friend who knows a little japanese to check it out, here's what he had to say:

"page 3 (I'm going by the page numbers my PDF viewer gives me not the ones on the pages) says
In the end of the world, the dead girls dance.
and shows a really fucking gory picture"

I'll post more if he can read more. I asked him to try and determine if it's the full book or just a sample/preview.

>>16417019
Sounds wonderful. I haven't even gotten around to reading it yet, actually. Maybe this would be a good chance to.

>>16417020
True enough, but I can promise you that most people will want to.

>>16417055
It's just a sample/preview.

>>16417078
Well, then there doesn't seem to be a problem.

I asked my friend to skim for mechanics, character creation info, maybe an example.. here's more of what he's said.

First page or so basically the same introduction OP posted,

>text on the top left for page 4 says
>"The world after humanity has been eradicated. The world where everyone is dead. The world where no one dies. The world where the only things that move are the deceased."
>In, Nechronica - The long lost sequel, the main characters are doll girls who possess hearts. To put it simply, it is a game where shoujo zombies fight other zombies.
>The ones who move the dead are those who brought about the world's destruction, the necromancers.

>So, won't you, while drinking tea under the leaden sky, read the long, long story of the end of the earth?
>I dunno it's hard to translate
>but the tea part
>made me laugh out loud


Apparently this book is weird. I never would have guessed.

>TRPG probably means turn-based RPG

Is this correct? I've never heard that term except in this thread.

Sounds alright for anyone who likes combat-heavy stuff.

The dialogue shit is an interview with the devs.

No mechanics. Fuck. Ok, guess we gotta wait for someone to scan the real deal.

>>16417182
>shoujo
What, he got everything but this? Now I don't know what kind of zombies they are!

>>16417234
Yeah, The Japanese refer to pen-and-paper stuff as TRPG, I forget if it stands for traditional or tabletop.

>>16416977
It's on Amazon.co.jp so it should be fairly easy to get, as opposed from ordering through doujin sites.

This is such a grimderp setting that I'm curious as to whether there's any chance of defeating the necromancers or not, or if its just an eternity of dusty, ancient liches fapping at necrololi guro with no hope.

>>16417279

hah he asked if he could leave obvious weeaboo stuff in, it makes it easier/faster I guess.

More translates:

I can't read name kanji and looking them up is a pain so
the first character
15 years old
position: janku (junk?)
class: tanatosu (thanatos?) / romanesuku (romanesque?)
skill: (the first character means "half" and the second means "destroy" but I don't know the word), "Shinigami", (don't know either of those characters), "the dance of death"

Quad shotgun!

>>16417339
shinigama are animals that become powerful through extreme age, if I recall correctly.

>>16417339

continued, same character

strong points: dunno 2 / dunno 0 / modification 3
movement points: 9
head parts (that's what it says; the character for "head" and "parts" in katakana): brain tissue, eyeball, jaw
shoulder parts: fist, shoulder, katana, (something about an iron ball), stuffed toy
this part looks like either a description of the characters or equipment

>>16417368

Shinigami means god of death, like a reaper or one single god, idk. It sounds like that's a special ability of some kind.

He says there are 'insanity points' mentioned.

Neat.

>>16417474
Interest in this game is rising.

"something about a status effect, "insanity points"
I'm just paraphrasing this, but
you can take up to 3 insanity points and still be fine
but if you get all of them, the doll's heart is destroyed and you turn into a normal zombie"

"page 9 bottom left
they're talking about potential scenes in the game
like they're talking about how the characters first wake up and then go out and fight undead
and then a couple lines they might potentially say
I didn't understand it well but the top right of page 10 said somethign about one of the characters having a skill that can stop or cure madness points"

Sorry this is confusing, he's kind of..piecing together something that's already probably confusing.

>The dice system is very simple: roll a d10, if it’s 6 or higher, you succeed. During the “adventure part,” if you have a memory shard or a part that applies to the current situation, you can roll 2 dice and take the higher, but if you fail on both dice and roll a 1 on either, you fumble, destroying the part that was used in the roll. Combat uses an abstract map detailing range and is built on a move-point system somewhat similar to games like the original Fallout games. For example, a character might start off with 10 Move Points, which goes before anyone with 9 or less Move Points. Attacking might cost 3 Move Points, lowering the character to 7. Once initiative goes down the list to 7, the character will act again.

The abstract range and D10 system suspiciously remind me of 3:16 Carnage Amongst the Stars. It's probably a coincidence, but I can't help but imagine a bunch of horrific Frankenstein girls acting like Marcus Fenix and the Doom Marine.

so, pic related is a balanced party.

>>16417518
>but I can't help but imagine a bunch of horrific Frankenstein girls acting like Marcus Fenix and the Doom Marine.

.... I won't deny, it's tempting.

>>16417544

you're now imagining Dom as a Doll. in a dress.

>>16417518

That's cool. Really different..

My friend actually just translated something about that too,

"just below that...
"Decision" Nechronica's judgement (as in, like, rolls) is generally decided by 10 sided dice. Depending on skills and status, you roll a 10 sided die once. If you roll a 6 and above, it's a success. Success is generally around 50%"
below that, " 'Undead' The most common enemies in this game are undead. There are mutants and bugs too, but..."
I think it's a discussion between two developers
not an interview
I'll translate the part next to the dice thing because it's interesting"


Yes I am just copy/pasting his IM's deal w/ it.

>>16417557

>>16415135
Japan thinks everyone is a pedo, anon. That's just how they automatically filter the world. They KNOW everyone is pedo. Even themselves.

""You finally came", a voice says as they open the gate. A voice they both know well. (they're talking about the two introduced above)

"What!?" one of them says as she hears the voce

"You finally came, <INSERT GENERIC EVIL LAUGH>!", another familiar voice says.

"NC, is there anyone that the main characters know from the arena (the arena? I haven't heard anything about that before this, I must have missed something)"

er, that above line was someone asking a dev a question

NC: Nope, no one

Ai: Then, some kind of memory from their previous life?

NC: No, it's a voice they've heard many times before

tomari and ai: Then, who?

NC: If you see the faces of the two who spoke, you'll understand. Green short-cut hair, 14~15 years old.

Tomari: Oh, could it be!

NC: Two undead with the same face as Tomari are standing in the middle of the room! They aren't mindless undead, but instead dolls with freedom just like you two! (as in the two player characters)"

>>16417405
Correct.

Shinigami is a death god. Death Note which is essentially one of babies first anime / manga series.

This seems like a fairly interesting thing, shame I don't know anyone creepy enough IRL to play this with bar myself.

"Tomari: Suddenly, impostors!

Ai:(quoting one of the characters, the one without the clones) "Tomari-chan, there are three of you!?" No... Tomari-chan is also a clone

"Too similar! What the hell are you!?"

It's scary, so the player and characters (as in the characters in game) can't help but think more...

bottom right of page 10 says something about the impostors showing up in chapter 2 or later"

>>16417359
>quad shotgun
Dammit now I want to play

>>16417653

Ah, you make me feel old. Death Note so new. I knew shinigami mostly because the term was used in Gundam Wing, so it went into weeaboo 101.

"Battle map: You fight exclusively on something called the battle map. It has five sections, and each one has a name. From the side of your ally, in turn (not sure on this part; don't understand it well...), they are called "Hope", "flower garden", "purgatory", "hell", and the last one the dictionary also says is hell
so I'm not sure what the difference between the two is"

My translator went to bed, so here's the quad-shotgun girl's translated character info, ala google translate.

That's special.

Pic is the battle map, I think.

Man, I really want to get a copy of this, but I don't know Japanese, I don't have a scanner and I wouldn't really want to razor the spine on it.

Man, as much as I want to play this and know a decent amount of Japanese, the kanji in rpgs make translation such a huge pain in the ass.

>>16417923
How do you order shit from Japan? Do you just fill out the form as normal? How do you pay?

>>16417967
Amazon Japan functions pretty much exactly like the English versions.

Link to the game:
http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E6%B0%B8%E3%81%84%E5%BE%8C%E6%97%A5%E8%AB%87%E3%81%AE%E3%83%8D%E3%82%AF%E3%

>>16417999
Looks like the link fucked up, Copy both lines into the address bar.

As to paying, I've just put in my Visa debit card info in and they've deducted the correct amount in USD from my account.

So the Japanese have written a Prison Pit Rpg for us?

I mean almost. It probably lacks rules for the size change that's so prominent in the comic.

>>16417999
>>16418011
Alright, cool.
I might be getting some disposable income in soon (major poorfag here). If nobody else has already done it, I'll seriously consider dropping my $32 on this. See if I can find someone to translate it.

>>16417967
>>16417999
>>16418011

Yeah, I ordered my Macademi Wasshoi book from there and had it ship to the US with no problems. However, shipping was like $35 for an $8 that could fit into a large pocket.

Japan, y u do dis?

necrololi

Well, I'm going to piss off to bed.
I'll be on the lookout for more threads regarding this game, though. And I'll order in a copy of the book if the opportunity presents itself

Night, 4chan!
