D&D's Japanese Rival Sword World Crowdfunding Raises Over $2 million in a Day

Japan's most popular fantasy tabletop role-playing game, Sword World RPG , is finally live on BackerKit with its first official English localization. Courtesy of Mugen Gaming, a company that specializes in localizing Japanese tabletop games, the Sword World RPG campaign is already off to a great start, raising over $2 million in one day. Sword World RPG comes from the creators of the Chronicles of Lodoss War franchise. In the late 1980s, the group of designers now known as Group SNE started playing Dungeons & Dragons after the game first landed in Japan.
