    Courtesy of Seizui, great find man!

    What is it? It's the new Sword World 2.0.

    On the Nintendo DS.

    The full rulebooks, character generator, die roller, example pics, scenario builder, and a few tabletop sample scenarios.

    That's right, it's NOT a console (handheld) RPG. It's the corebooks and supplemental material, turned into a Nintendo DS catridge, for use IN CONJUNCTION WITH (not separate from) the tabletop experience.

    How cool is that?

    Answer: Very.

    Not a problem. I have to wonder if the game being available on the DS will make it easier for folks to do a fan-translation. XD ...Probably not, but it is a wishful dream. Any case, I don't remember how I found it, but I did.

    And because of that, ended up finding out that Sword World had 2 SNES games. Funny, huh?

    Does anyone know how much of the SW2.0 rules this is going to include? Since the genre listing is "Gamebook-style Adventure", I was thinking it would be something along the lines of the old "Fighting Fantasy" books, with just enough rules and background for the player to deal with whatever obstacles the game throws at him. The website indicates that there is at least some sort of built-in glossary, though.

    Unfortunately, we don't know anything more than what's listed on the site. I'm planning on getting it not too long after it comes out, and we'll see what it's like from there.

    It also mentions that it's part of a "series". I'd be interested in seeing other games make the adaptation to DS.

    New Gamebook announced: Chrome Shelled Regios 鋼殻のレギオス

    Which of course is the classic TRPG ... wait, no, I've never heard of it.

    Yeah, in this case it's apparently a young adult light novel converted into a gamebook. No comments on the site yet as to which ruleset it uses (or if it will be more of a choose your own adventure, or Fighting Fantasy, etc).
