There seems to be a lot of weebshit on Veeky Forums lately. But from all the fapbait and garbage, there is one thing that intrigues me: Japanese themed dwarfs.
Instead of runes, it's kanji. Instead of GRORIOUS NIPPON STEEL it's GRORIOUS DAWI STEEL folded a hundred times into the perfect Ax-tana. Sake instead of beer, ancestral shrines instead of straight up ancestor worship. Seems like a really interesting premise. Anyone else wanna build on this or think of a good way to implement this game without it looking like weebshit?
Is there any rape yet? Why isn’t there any rape nowadays?
Cameron Torres
Was your rape expectations raped by slice of life of goblin slayer.
Xavier Hughes
You'd run into the problem that Veeky Forums wouldn't like them for switching out Scottish fighting drunks with disciplined honor-bound egomaniacs ready to seppuku themselves at the drop of a hat.
Jason Murphy
I was working on something similar but with orcs instead of dorfs, though less folding over a thousand times and more taking cues from oni and such.
It might actually be interesting to take that Nipponization and spread it to every race sort of how like Japan does with western fantasy.
Elijah Adams
I was highly disappointed. I wish the protagonist would die so rape can prevail.
Luke Robinson

Christopher Cruz
Japan's contributions to western fantasy are all shit. Dwarves are no exception. They come in two flavors, tolkienen and fake loli. If you want to do the whole "realworld culture but they look like fantasy race x" thing, it's fine, but I don't think there is much to discuss there.

Leo Scott
I'll give you vampires but brown drow, dogbolds, loli dorfs, videgamey worlds outside of videogame settings, and all pictured are hot trash.
Camden Miller
But none of those things are pictured
Mason Brown
Is it just me, or does Japan fuck up dwarves less than they fuck up other cliche fantasy races?
Xavier Murphy
The word "and" is used to mean "in addition to", including the subjects of the images in the list even though they are not explicitly mentioned.
Dominic Peterson
Ok, but having a shit taste is not an argument
William Hall
Shit taste is in the eye of the beholder. Besides, I wasn't making an argument so much as posting my unsolicited opinions to encourage OP to post how he would do jap dwarves.
Aaron Ramirez
The main problem I see with such a thing is that the theme for both Dwarves and Japanese society contradict each other.
Japanese culture values a sort of elegance and grace and subtlety.
Dwarves are more utilitarian and care about making incredibly large statements about how great they are, either through large fortresses or large weapons.
I think it'd be easier to make Japanese-themed elves over Japanese Dwarves.
Jaxon Roberts

Juan Ramirez
>Japan's contributions to western fantasy are all shit
Luis Stewart
I would say Samurai Dwarves would work better than Japanese Dwarves. Like said, certain aspects of japanese culture are pretty fucking gay and wouldn't exactly fit with your average dwarven society. That said, the samurai (or rather the most military-related aspects of japanese society) do seem to fit better when it comes to dwarves.
Brody Bailey
>japanese dwarves >not islamic dwarves
Anthony Morgan
>There seems to be a lot of weebshit on Veeky Forums lately. Gee, I wonder why a website dedicated to anime would have fantasy anime on its traditional gaming board.
>a good way to implement this game without it looking like weebshit? Actually learn about Nip society.
Josiah Campbell

Samuel Rivera
Who would want islam in his escapist fantasy? That'd be like demanding anime waifus behave more like real women.
Matthew Thompson
Dwarf Wars has Japanese themed evil dwarfs. Just make it so that they have underground rice paddies and you should be fine.
Lincoln Jackson
I always figured that japanese dwarves would be more craftsmen and caprenters since the iron quality in japan kind of sucked and the mountain folk are extremely industrious.
Gabriel Nguyen
>Who would want islam in his escapist fantasy?
An MRA?
Dominic Robinson
What does islam have to do with gender equality?
Robert Morales
Someone who wants to murder mudslimes in his setting.
Hunter Morris

Nips ARE dorfs.
William Gutierrez
Wtf is this meme about Japan having shit steel? How tf would they create a sword that could slice through a tree if they had crappy steel?
Zachary Hughes
FOLDED A THOUSAND TIMES
Andrew Brown
Weebshit GTFO. You shipped that on 2 other threads already.
Bentley Cooper
That's the point of folding. You have a small amount of good metal with more easily available shit metal folded over itself to keep it from breaking. End result is a quality weapon made from shit material.
Connor Cox
You will probably not believe me but I didn't know that thread existed when I posted that pic. I found the thread a while later and was surprised by the coincidence.

Ryder Gomez
>Japanese culture values a sort of elegance and grace and subtlety. Well that's what I'm talking about. How to bend the two societies together so the stuff that normally wouldn't mesh can blend together. Like that carving kanji to invoke power in place of runes(dwarf) or sutra(Japanese)
Eli Cook
Both are hyper-traditionalist hyper-industrious xenophobic short people who value family and honor over life itself. The only difference is seasoning.
Nicholas Ortiz
I didn't say shit steel, I said pig iron.
Japan didn't have blast furnaces to make steel easily, they used bloomeries for the longest time, which was extremely inneficient for making steel, because of this they learned how to make the most with their steel, which was second best in the world, behind india, but europe was still first in production and utilization.

Cameron Johnson
Guys, I read OP’s stuff but they stopped having rape. Why did they stop the rape?
Parker Cooper
Speaking about which, isn't Corruption of Champions technically isekai too?
Liam Taylor
Technically, but isekai is a bit more than just going through a portal to another world in my opinion
Lincoln Brown
It's from the same author than Seikon no Qwaser, the one about christians with chemical elements-related powers who get their source of power from sucking titties.
James King
Such a waste of quads, considering "isekai" literally translates to "another world". So going through a portal is enough to qualify.
But isekai means literally that: being sent to another world. The thing is that isekai is so generic that people already associate a series of cliches with it (RPG system, OP protagonist, adquiring skills, slaves, etc) but it doesn't matter. Even Narnia can be considered isekai.
Brayden Martin
As I said, it's technically isekai. But it doesn't revolve around using knowledge from the other world, or a loser living a power fantasy, or really mention your homeworld after the opening scene. It's missing all of the tropes you would expect. It's like calling hancock a superhero movie.
Mason Morales
>It's like calling hancock a superhero movie It kind of is, just that it's about "what if Superman was a cynical drunk hobo"
Matthew Gonzalez
There is no definition of what consitutes an isekai story beyond "being sent to another world". Those are just a bunch of cliches common between the most generic stories in the genre. Isekai can be a lot of things, it can be "loser gets reincarnated and uses knowledge from his past life to acquire power and slave bitches" and it can be something like Gate where you have the Japanese Self-Defense Force invading a fantasy world and wrecking shit there.
Jeremiah Fisher
Matrix is reverse isekai
Isaiah Collins
I know a lot of Amerilards were upset about that. I wonder if that'll change now that based Abe-san wants to change the constitution to allow Japan to have a big and stronk military.
Xavier Davis
They were butthurt because there is a bit where american, russian and I don't remember what other country's spec ops get REKT by a magical loli.
Gabriel Green
If there's no connection beyond going to another world, then there wouldn't be a point to it being a genre. That be like calling memory loss or mistaken identity a genre. Just like there's more to fantasy than a fictional setting and more to scifi than science, those common tropes are a part of the genre.
Robert Ortiz
It's doubtful it it can be considered a genre, it's more like a tag. Again, there is no requirement for something being isekai than someone being sent to another world. If I wrote a story about a Space Marine being sent to the Star Wars universe then it would be isekai.
Hudson Butler
This is a positively archeological troll.
Carter Morales
Well this went totally off topic
Charles Foster
Most nips can't hold their liquor. Dwarven society being soul-crushing enough to justify *that level* of escapism sounds interesting though. Would their legal system be as much of a shitshow?
Christian Davis
Here's a western story that conforms to all the expected isekai cliches. It was one of Gygax and Arneson's main influences when making D&D.
Carson Jackson
Alright, five chapters in and I'm legit having fun with this. Thanks again for the sauce. It's unironically pretty interesting, even discounting the tiddies.

Lucas Williams
This. We need more rape.
Eli Brooks
Fine, pull your pants down and bend over.
Daniel Martinez
>As I said, it's technically isekai.
I think for an isekai to be an isekai you need the contrast between the two world's perspectives. One of ny biggest gripes with CoC is that we don't really know anything about the "home" realm, and your character really never shows any hesitation in the contrast between worlds. An isekai series only works with the "japanese buisnessman" commentary on the new world, which CoC lacks.
