Yes, there would also be underwater mutants referred to as “kawatora.” another word for kappa which I think sounds cooler.Insaeldor wrote:Isn't the whole point of fallout to evoke amaracana and comment of very american centric themes? Setting it in japan just wastes the whole idea because it throws out almost all of the thematic elements and imagery.
Just makes an OG Post-Apoc RP set in japan. That probably more artisticly fulfilling in the long run anyway
Fallout intentionally parodies the propaganda and pop culture of America in the Cold War, and there's quite a gold mine of 1960's - 70's Japanese history and pop culture to draw on for a Fallout RP : Pinkie violence films, the Tatenokai, ũman ribu, etc.
At that point its just fallout in name only. Yes fallout parodies consumerism and militarism, and yes japan has those too. But they're very different to account for cultural norms in both societies. Fallout spacificly targets the american concepts of these things and a translation to a whole knew culture would require do much change that it might as well not even be fallout.
Just make your own OG RP that isn't constrained by these thematic and narrative issues.
