This but for me is 1e: the corebook is one package deal with everything (from chargen, spells, skills, monsters, setting notes, etc...), the rulesystem, although clunky, is dead simple and the setting is fun (has still the original oldhammer soul with everything grotesquely exaggerated because it's funny). I just lean back on my sit, skim through the book and have a cascade of ideas for games.
Ryuutama relies on the game master setting a good tone and filling the world with things the players will want to interact with, so it is only as boring as the game master is. So that says more about Noism than it does Ryuutama.
>so it is only as boring as the game master Is.
That's a load of horseshit.
A Game Master can drum up amazing scenarios, execute great random tables for variety and the players can be catatonic. Then how good is Overland travel?
"GM just needs to make something more tempting to engage with"
Ryuutama is pretty good. I'm surprised to hear that some people apparently hate it.
It's a cute game with nice art and it's super cheap too. It's not like you're getting scammed.
Admittedly, it is not for everyone. The game is very specific about what it wants to do, traveling and exploring. ADHD-riddled burgerstanis who can't focus on the journey are not going to enjoy it because of their mental impairment.
It's not for everyone, I completely agree with that. I would just expect the response to that to be indifference rather than annoyance. Ganker culture I guess

The game structure for overland travel, which is supposedly so innovative and unique, boils down to making four die rolls each day which the GM is supposed to interpret and improvise around, ie "just make some shit up".
The game doesn't offer any tools for improvising off the results of the journey checks; no random encounter tables, no lists of events you can use to riff off of. It is, quite literally, worse at overland travel than any edition of D&D with hexcrawling rules.

Keep seething Noism
RPGshitters have the lowest standards I've ever seen. As long as you have a pretty cover and a skeleton punching minigame they guzzle the slop and defend it to the death. It doesn't matter if the game supports what it says it's about in any way, just enjoy D&D but worse for the 10000th game in a row.
Golden Sky Stories. It's the best diceless story RPG. Cute Henge and Yokai doing small tasks helping around the town, like finding missing necklaces, helping learn how to swim, helping take responsibility for a broken window, or helping Santa find missing gifts that were for them all along. It's cute, comfy, Studio Ghibli-esque. I love it, and I love doing 1 on 1 with it. But also good luck finding players.
Except there are TNs for weather, rules for determining weather (but not topography since that's supposed to be collaborative world building). The events in case of failure are up to the GM, but you wouldn't fall into a poison bush in a desert, or fall down a cliff in flatlands. It's pretty logical what statuses you get where. And this game realizes that random encounters are boring. Not that the game does combat that well honestly. One action and a handful of choices. Weapons aren't that different. But it's because that's not what the game is about. It's a travel, exploration, and merchant game. And obviously not for you. Which is fine. You do you man. Play CoC or D&D or Shadowrun or whatever you enjoy.
There’s a Pokémon TTRPG?
There's a few. A lot are quite complicated. Google them, easy to find. Pokemon tabletop adventures, Pokemon united, Pokemon 5e, and Pokethulhu.
Is there any chance at all that Ryuutama will get more official content at this point?
The translator is AMA basically and has abandoned translating the 2nd and 3rd books. The anon who was translating it on here disappeared as well. The rules for sky and water travel are mostly translated, I think, but the 3rd book rules, the world building stuff, isn't. I have the RAWS if anyone wants them and wants to translate them.
>The translator is AMA basically
You mean MIA? Or am I misunderstanding? Anyway, that sucks. I would love to see what was translated as I haven't been able to find anything in my searching. Air and water travel would be amazing.
Sucks that the 3rd book didn't get translated at all.
Could you tell me the names of those books after the core book? With the names in hand, I could do some digging.
Yes. MIA. Brain glitches there I guess. As I said, I have raw PDFs that I can share, but while I can speak some passable basic Japanese, I don't read kanji. They're called passports. Literally 1st passport for the sea and sky travel, and 2nd passport for the other. There's also three replays, but those don't matter for system.
And what has been translated is here.

I'm thinking of making a supplement for Ryuutama like that other one that's on DTRPG and releasing it publicly. What do you guys think I should put in it? So far, I have a few weapons and plans for a class or two. Not much progress, but I just started.

Genesys.
But then, highly cinematic, pulpy, action-adventures with a gonzo plot IS my idea of a “comfy” rpg.

The guy who wrote Yoon Suin said ryutama is boring, is he right?

That is gay as frick. World is GM's domain.
So what's your go-to system for a comfy role-playing experience?

Be better. Play more games. Play good games.

I find Pokemon Tabletop to be very comfy, all the crunchy numbers notwithstanding.

Yes, for her.
There’s a Pokémon TTRPG?
There's also a pokemon-themed Ironsworn hack, but I haven't played it.
There's a Pokemon Ryuutama hack as well, but it doesn't seem very complete. Might try it anyway.
That might be interesting to check out.
Poke no tabi? I think the creator abandoned it around 2017, 2018? Seemed fun at the time.
