1. What is this newsgroup?

fj.rec.games.roleplaying is a Japanese newsgroup for roleplaying games.

No, not computer games. I mean paper & pencil RPGs (or so-called
"table-top" RPGs).

fj.* newsgroups are created and maintained by Japanese people (the name
"fj" was the abbreviation for "From Japan" originally). So you can see
many Japanese (perhaps unreadable) articles in other fj.* newsgrous.


2. But no Japanese articles in fj.rec.games.roleplaying!!

You are right. Though fj.rec.games.roleplaying is a Japanese newsgroup,
there are too few Japanese people to post articles here. Possible reasons
are..

a. RPG is not very popular in Japan today.
b. Netnews is not very popular in Japan, especially among RPG players.

Even though very few Japanese post here, there are some Japanese people
reading the newsgroup. So it might be a good idea to post articles here
when you have a question abount Japanese RPGs.
