My, but the Drain one would probably make more sense if I could read Japanese.

Those are very cool! I second the request about where to get the book--I'd love to have a copy of it just for the art!

Curse you kanji and your thwarting of my reading the manga explanations! >_<
A sad thing is, I think I might have understood the rules a lot quicker if I had complete literacy in Japanese as well as that book... BrianL03 Japanese 1 ------R/W 1 |

This *almost* makes me wish some gaming company in Tokyo picked up Shadowrun instead of Wizkids. :) Awesome pictures!

Actually it's about the benefits of wearing armor. Roughly translated it's something like... (remember it's Japanese so read the page from right to left) Panel 1: Damage Resistance! [the boxes under the girl and guy say "No Armor" and "Armor Jacket" respectively] "Let's perform an experiment. These people have different protective levels, but..." Panel 2: "...what happens when they're shot with a gun!?" "GYAAAAAAAAH!!!!" *pratatatatatatata* (that's the sound of the gun) Panel 3: [the boxes under the girl and guy say something like "Shot to bits" and "Nothing happened" respectively] "THAT WAS DANGEROUS YOU IDIOT!" "Get into a gunfight without armor and it will be over as fast as possible." (I can't translate this line well, but i think it's *something* along those lines) I'll translate the others later, but hopefully someone with better Japanese than me will come by and do it in about 5 minutes :D |

That dice pool one was the greatest thing ever. The next time someone asks me how the dice system works, I'll just hand them that picture and let them figure it out. Little cartoon characters and writing in a language you can't understand actually makes Shadowrun rules and concepts a lot easier to understand. I think that whole 'lesser reliance on words and more on pictures and icons' thing that happens in Shadowrun might actually catch on...

I think the shaman and mage picture is quite clear.

I'm working on translating them all and editing the pictures so they have english, I've already edited a few of the simple ones, I'm doing the drain one right now.
-JL ~~~~~~~~~~~ Anybody have some space I can store them to? |

Here they are. I may actually turn that into a proper page at some point, but for right now the list ought to do.

Updated. That dierolling thing is apparently an explanation of karma rerolls.
