I would love a Target: CHina or Target: India book much more. Never had a lot of love for japan and their racisct attittude.

I'd rather say strange and insulting but that's just me.

I didn't want to go too much into the details.

Would be a lot better if he said anata instead of omae (use omae with great care).

Personally I'd have opted for "minna-san".

Omae became established SR slang, for some reason... it's been around canon as long as I can remember playing SR.

You ever seen anyone burn 6+ karma in re-rolls on single test TN 5 with 8 dice before. My fellow players have on a regular basis. I've been nicknamed "Karma Platinum" due to the unspeakably high rate I have to spend karma to keep characters alive.

In "that other game" I take 10 on every roll the GM will let me cause I rarely roll higher than that on a 20 sider. Even when playing a high bonuses fighter I'm one of the first ones put down in battles cause I can't hit shit.

You should speak to your dice more. Be nice to them and for god sake put them ass end up on the table when not in use. I have a friend that can only roll well when he bounces the dice off somthing. Rolls normally get pish all rolls against a book kills everything.
Weird no.

It's not that weird. He probably doesn't know how to properly roll dice and just drops them flat if he isn't bouncing them off something. This weights dice results considerably, and is why casino games that involve dice require you to bounce dice off of something. Beyond that, it's just luck and more likely your perception.

No I mean rolls accross the table gets string of ones bounces them off somthing gets many sixes.

It's strange but true.
I find I need to keep my dice with the one facing up so they get board with it and roll somthing else.

A DIE isn't sentient but DICE are, must be a hive mind.

Well, I also think it's blatantly racist towards a country I happen to really like, but it is SR canon. And as the principal superpower in the Sr world, there should be a book about Japan, methinks. What would a description of today's world be without a thorough inspection of the US?

Because the original devs were eager to integrate words from other languages, but lacked proper language skills *thinks of the use of German in the Secrets of Power books, shivers*.

Not to mention they spelled 'Dreck' all wrong from the beginning.

Japan is important for the SR-universe, no question about that. But i don't like it, so i don't want or need a japan-sb.

If you spelled it correctly it wouldn't be a four-letter word.

Besides english has a long tradition of changing the spelling of loan words. Why stop now?
