«©NCSX» Back in the 80s, Tabletalk RPGs came into their own in Japan thanks to inspiration from Gary Gygax's Dungeon and Dragons role-playing phenomenon. Tabletalk RPGs are different from videogame RPGs in that the scenarios, characters, and game world are overseen by a human "Dungeon Master" or "Game Master" who recites from a rulebook. One of the most popular TRPGs is Sword World from Group SNE which gets adapted onto the NDS this week. Participants throw a pair of six-sided die to determine attributes and trigger attacks, magic, and other events. The game takes place in the world of Terasstia where players choose to be a male or female protagonist. After setting up the character through a series of die throws, the story begins in stutter-step fashion where text scrolls on the touch screen whilst pictures appear on the top NDS screen. The limited edition of Sword World 2.0 Game Book DS includes two bonus items as follows: » A microfiber cloth map which depicts the Terasstia land mass
» Red cell phone strap with a pair of black dice hanging from the top The bonuses and the game are packaged in a thin cardboard box which features special variant artwork of the characters from the game. Product SKU: PBGP-0079
