Group SNE was founded in 1987 by the current president Hitoshi Yasuda. Group SNE is known for a lot of things beyond role-playing games, including light novels, board games and card games.
Group SNE is the original Japanese creator of Sword World, and we are working suuuuuper closely with them to ensure the best translation possible. We want this project to set a new gold standard. That's why we are putting in so much time and effort - we want every detail to be right for the best and closest to the original experience possible.
Ask the Original Japanese Creators of Sword World RPG Anything!
Now that you've been primed about Group SNE and why we're working so closely with them, I wanted to share some very cool news. Ai is flying out to Japan just before the Sword World RPG campaign launches. She will be meeting with Group SNE, and wrangled them into doing a livestream with her.
It will be with Kei Kitazawa (the principal creator/author behind Sword World 2.5 and Sword World 2.0 rulebooks, supplements, replays, and short story collections of Sword World) and Hitoshi Yasuda (Founder & President of Group SNE).
Long time livestream viewers are probably used to being able to ask questions directly in/during the stream, but we'll have to handle this one a little bit differently since there's obviously going to be some translating involved:
โ๏ธ Questions will be collected HERE beforehand. โ๏ธ Questions will be sent to Group SNE before the livestream. โ๏ธ Ai, Kei Kitazawa, and Hitoshi Yasuda will choose which questions are the most relevant and what they can answer within the time frame they have. โ๏ธ The ONLY way to submit a question is to ask it in the comments of this update. โ๏ธ Question submissions will be closed on Thursday, October 8.
You can join the livestream on Tuesday, October 13th at 12 pm (Japan), Monday, the 12th at 8pm Pacific, 10 pm Central, 11 pm Eastern time here:
