>>13742704>>13742756You laugh, but that's actually how Japanese TTRPG games work since people run in random fucking locations on inane schedules.
So someone showing up on short notice, grabbing a premade character and rolling for when they show up is hardcoded into JTTRPG systems from the ground up, as is killing characters off quickly.
Ina is a HP Lovecraft priestess because Call of Chtulhu was one of the first western games to conform to Japanese work culture. Quick chargen, simple (enough) rules, relatively flat progression, rapid rotation of characters via death/insanity.
It was the game that made the literature it was based on relevant and caused it to be translated.
