Do you know Dungeons&Dragons? (Language Exchange5)

Aug 10th, 2009 by Kenji
Today, my language exchange partner told me about Dungeons & Dragons and related things. The topics we talked about were not only D&D things, but the story about the game was the most impressive topic of today’s. It sounds a little geeky, but I’m interested about it. I understood that as kind of a platform. I think it is complicated and difficult to understand the rule but very creative. Maybe it cannot be said that I want to play, but I’m really interested in it. He will bring me the rule books of Dungeons & Dragons next time.

    I like D&D too. I have a “Red Box” :)
    But I enjoyed Japanese similar games. Sword World, Rose to Road, Tenra-Banshou, etc, etc.
    Live RPG is good.

      I didn’t know any games like D&D. There are many tabletop RPG in Japanese, huh? Interesting. I think some card games or board games are all the ton, recently. I like playing “The Settlers of Catan”. I used to play it with colleagues when I worked the former company.
      And you know? When I went to a game center, I found many strange games which people used real cards in. The game machine recognize what the cards were. Are they kind of Live RPG??
