well it's a tabletop rpg, might well be the first japanese-english translation of one of those. not that i approve of tabletop rpgs in any way whatsoever.
Yeah, that's what it looks like. It's a tabletop RPG like Dungeons and Dragons. So it might be the first ever Japanese game to come to the US. Which is odd, because I didn't know there were any Japanese original tabletop RPGs.
If nothing else, the art looks pretty cool, though.
Oh, I just noticed the cover pic in the "Developer's Blog" at http://www.tenra-rpg.com/blog/ . Looks pretty. But it has the requisite Big Titty Chick in the corner, which I'm not a big fan of.

Loli's don't sell games as well as Big Titty Chicks.
The description (fast play, emphasis on storytelling and character, theatrics, staying in character) sounds a lot more like LARP than a tabletop game.

From what I've heard, Japanese TRPGs tend to be more like the artsy American systems (White Wolf) whereas American RPGs are more like wargames. (D&D)
It would be interesting to see a scanlation of a TRPG into English, IMO anyways.
Storytelling are attached great importance some of Jpananese original RPGs, especially those published from F.E.A.R company.
But they also have complicaed combat systems.
Looks pretty cool
