[QUOTE="DarkCrisis, post: 8756402, member: 1788"] Japan got introduced to D&D with the old BECMI stuff. According to this page: [URL unfurl="true"]https://mystara.thorfmaps.com/appendix-j/rules-cyclopedia/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://mystara.thorfmaps.com/appendix-j/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://mystara.thorfmaps.com/appendix-j/b10-b12/[/URL] It was as translated/adapted Rules Cyclopedia. [ATTACH type="full" alt="rules.jpg"]259827[/ATTACH] But look at that art! You can defiantly see where the manga/anime Lodoss War got a lot of it's imagery. (or vice versa) [ATTACH type="full" alt="pcs.jpg"]259828[/ATTACH] And the monster designs! Love the Dark Elf [ATTACH type="full" alt="drow.jpg"]259829[/ATTACH] I'd love to own a set of these. Cool stuff, huh? D&D Basic was huge in Japan at the time. Even got them to spawn their own RPG called Sword World. Apparently Call of Cthulhu is the most played RPG over there ATM. Think 5E can reignite the fire for D&D? A lot more competition over there now-a-days. [/QUOTE]
