What would you say has been Japan's biggest contribution to tabletop?

Even if it is using voice?

Probably Yu-Gi-Oh.

It's always struck me as funny how MtG got so big imitating it.

Low quality bait
Extremely low quality. YGO the manga didn't even fucking exist until 3 years after magic

GURPS: Ring Dream

No one doing pbp uses voice chat, text only. Otherwise you're asking for problem maintaining your erection.

>Extremely low quality. YGO the manga didn't even fucking exist until 3 years after magic

He's not saying that YGO predates MtG. He's saying that MtG benefited from being more like YGO.

Like how Superman is the granddaddy superhero, but a lot of his most popular era was cribbed from Captain Marvel.

I'm not saying he's right, because I know fuckall about MtG and Yu-gi-Oh, but I'm saying that's what he's saying.

Foolish Samurais

Foolish Samurai and Lost Viking fight Giant Frost Oni?

Shogi.

It's funny how nips in boardgames are greater when they use someone else's games and in RPGs the more "insular" they are the better.

>also I enjoy nipland fantasy shamelessy but big titted elves should die

Duel Masters copied both Yugioh and MtG in its design, but as time went on, it grew to influence both (Vortex Evolution -> Xyz Summoning; God Link -> Meld, slightly influencing Link Monsters; a lot of the Zenith support was pretty much cribbed for BFZ block's Eldrazi support; and so on)

Nothing. They're actually a major contributor to decline and saturation of the medium through poorly scripted and translated 3rd party Dungeons and Dragons Session inspired Light Novels, Manga and Anime such as Lodoss, Dragon Quest, and Final Fantasy 1, which all were major contributors to many of the awful formulas that create lacklust settings with no substance whatsoever.

Overlord is literally the spliced abomination of Forgotten Realms and the Kingdoms of Kalamar setting disguised ans an Isekai that failed to even represent it's source material decently, Lodoss is a massive patient-0 cancerous show with no substance, main characters that are one-dimensional and the show ran like a fucking slideshow yet is somehow praised as a masterpiece when it really is the most lacklust D&D session ever made into an anime that used it's lack of decent storytelling and characterization as a means to shit out visual artistry to make up for it, and is reponsible for permanently ruining all eastern representation of Drow with the Brown Chocolate Elf with Lopped-ears shit that has no culture, substance or anything less than aesthetic value in it- and to drive that point in, did you ewver fucking wonder why Piortess was simply hated and noted why this wasn't explained, or what the fuck Deedlit di when she went to the fey wild which is nothing but bright lights and a background change, or the D&D dragons which were all hyped up and yet did much ado nothing as they were the fattest, slowest things ever, and so much more crap? Final Fantasy fathered the gisgusting approach the east has to RPGs, by making clear divide between monsters and men, ripping any non WoTC copyrighted content and popping it into their shit and giving the monsters no reason to be there, roaming about, like many which are deserving of explanation "Like when was the last time the bombs, and reoccurring monster rosters ever talked about by NPCs?" Japs always gloss over these kind of things.

i actually love the final fantasy approach

(you)

oh yeah

YGO and Pokemon, I imagine, though it really depends on how you define a "big contribution." They're big in their own right but probably don't have as much of an effect on anything else.

weebs

I don't know which is biggest, but not a single one is positive.

Unless you mean HIV positive, then all of them.
