Ok, so my wife and I are on vacation in in Japan right now, visiting my sister who is here as an exchange student. We were in Tokyo the other day, and quite naturally went to the Akhihabara on account of all of us being geeks. We happened to see a sign for an RPG shop called the Yellow Submarine so we decided to check it out just to see what Japan's gaming scene was like. It was kinda neat seeing D&D books written in Japanese and I got a set of dice with the numbers written on them in Kanji but then I saw a few English 4th ed Shadowrun books... Underneath them I saw a 1st ed Shadowrun book in Japanese! Not only that but it was only 3000 yen, so I ended up picking it up just for the novelty factor. The kids at the counter gave me some strange looks at the weird Gaijin buying Japanese books when he obviously hardly speaks a word of the language but hey, I'm starting to get used to weird looks here.
