SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

So I started reading Gegege no Kitarou

It's a classic and influential manga from the 1960s. I have always liked yokai and this series is all about that. I saw some people talking about World of Darkness games on another thread and I think there would be an audience for a ttrpg about a shadowy underworld of disgusting and disturbing ghosts and monsters.




And no, his mother is not any better looking.

There was a chapter of Gegege No Kitaro included in one of Fredric L. Schodt's book on manga, wasn't there?

It was there as a representative sample of Japanese horror manga.

Unfortunately, my copies of his books are all in storage, and the weather isn't good for accessing them.

Think I have that book or one similar. Though it may be lost now.

Damn! Honestly, I got this from a pirate site online but it is a very good read for all ages, if you can handle the creep and gore factor. I really like how diverse and creative yokai are, very rich for storytelling and gaming.
