Looking forward to seeing this played on SNF

as the young officer Pauline Bonaparte you will have to lead your troops to battle and play a role in the political vortex of Paris.

Pretty sure there were more Anime weebs asking for this kind of content, than Cyranos and/or Panzerdes.  ;D

It’s a Chinese-made game in a Japanese genre about European alternate history.

Bawb, it's pretty ancient by now, but have you ever read Bored of the Rings, by Harvard Lampoon?

" Bring me my white robes" said Goodgulf Greytooth.
"Ah, white robes for White Magic?". Asked Spam.
"No.  White robes for White flag." He said, stapling them to his custom cue stick.

Seems like you could have written it.

Typical weeaboo stuff...pointy-chinned characters, dudes that need a haircut badly and women whose breasts are suffering from an apparent clothing shortage (as well as nipple shortage because what they have covers absolutely f*ck all). It's a 'tactical RPG' and Pauline Bonaparte is apparently the main character.

I just read the blurb on the site and will join you in not participating in Miss Bonaparte's adventures in Chinaland.

Quite right, Mike. I suspect I would get more entertainment from sitting and counting my own legs.

Unless it's Hentai Napoleonics, in which case, you'll have a plethora of legs to count.

...how many legs does a female Plethora have?

Pleths have to ora.

Pleths have to ora.

IIRC, it's still against the law in several Tennessee counties for pleths to ora, even in the privacy of their own homes.

In the mating season, its recommended that you keep them in a pebbled concrete enclosure. Apparently, having their dongle removed makes them much more placid.

That's a weird way to say whiskey.

Post by: BanzaiCat on March 10, 2020, 11:35:45 AM
That's how you pronounce "tea" in Newcastle.

Funny, their pronunciation of "tea," "water," "soda," "juice," and similar drinks all come out "whiskey."  ;D

Oh, so it's like how every beverage in Australia is pronounced 'beer'!  ;D

Never tried Foster's, but I did like those "how to speak Australian" commercials.

You should try Newcastle brown Ale - the real stuff, not the export rubbish variety

Hey, Newcastle Brown Ale (the export rubbish) isn't bad!

Haven't tried that but am willing to experiment.  O:-)

See, this is true diversity, drinking liquor and beer from different countries. Ahhh, culture! :)
