It's already a banned topic at TBP.

Took six whole entire minutes, too.

Seems like it would be a great video game more than a TTRPG, though I know the anime features a lot of dice rolling offscreen 'gods' (ie players & GM). I'm not sure what having a dedicated ruleset adds that I can't do with D&D?
I'm not sure it does. For anyone wanting to play in the GS world, it would be easy to homebrew something with D&D, Savage Worlds, d6, or a ton of other systems. This version just does the work for you, and I expect it will have compiled information on the setting so that will save a prospective GM a fair bit of work since that info is spread across dozens of manga chapters and light novels.

  If that crowd is the example of "modern gamers" I think I can much more clearly see the controversy now.

Goblin slayer is trash. Just because it makes sjws jump doesn't mean it's good.
As a setting it has barely a unique bone in its body, so a rpg based purely off of shock factor is bleh.

Nice! We're supposed to be getting an English release of the Konosuba RPG later this year as well.

FATE dice? I'll pass.

No, Fate dice, not FATE dice. It's not the same as the Western FATE RPG system.

such a bastion of free speech.  They are scared to even talk about legit rpg's.  I guess I'll have to go spread this on other boards now.  :)

Honestly I enjoy it mainly because of the generic fantasy tropes.  It's unabashedly based on D&D.

Never heard of it, but then I'm not really into comics ('cept for some old stuff).

That said, I couldn't give a fig if it's good or a pile 'o poo. I'm buying this instantly, so I can bath is SJW tears.

Even the first sentence from the article in the link is great:

Quote from: www.geeknative.com on August 21, 2021, 01:31:46 PMGoblin Slayer is a controversial anime that begins with scenes of sexual violence, murder and violence.

They literally promise two doses of violence in every game session!

I am also buying this on pure general principle, because:

It is a 100% legit RPG based on a popular Anime. Not Myfarog not Rahowa, not HOL, or alpha-blue and similar games.

Yet they will still cry...

I will always support such beautiful things.

The system sounds vaguely like a version of sword world, which would be good to see an English translation of the system.

I'm still sore that the Polish language only Witcher RPG Wiedźmin: Gra Wyobraźni never got a translation. I love the R Talsorian RPG, but I would have loved to see it. There was a translation on project on 4chan, but it was abandoned part way through. it looked like a fun D6 system with elements of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay.

Got a link for the part-done English version?

It's a shame they couldn't put out an English translation rather than R.Talsorian coming in with their house system.

   Yeah, I agree here, especially with regard to this setting, it seemed to be extremely generic.
