You had me at, "The joy of travel." :D
There's been two japanese RPGs translated so far (by the same guy) and it's so interesting to read them. Japan doesn't have our RPG histories going back to the 70s and so now that they are starting their own, they break lots of those conventions we're used to because they don't have that baggage.
For instance, they don't call them tabletop RPGs, they call them tabletalk RPGs.

Aww man, this sounds awesome. Now if only I had someone to play it with... ;_; If anybody knows any reliable ways to find local tabletop groups, that would be greatly appreciated.

This is really cool! Thank you for posting it. I'll have to look into it more and see if I can use it with my group.
