“Kagamine Rin & Len TRPG: COCORO SESSION” Announced!

Finally, Fujimi Dragonbook has announced a new publication called “Hatsune Miku TRPG: COCORO SESSION feat. Kagamine Rin & Len,” which looks like the follow-up to the original “Hatsune Miku TRPG: COCORO DUNGEON.”

“Scheduled for release 12/20.
We’ve opened the site for ‘Hatsune Miku TRPG: COCORO SESSION feat. Kagamine Rin & Len!
In this second publication for the analog game where you can befriend and go on adventures with digital divas, there’s a ton of new rules, collected songs, and introductory comics, so be sure to check it out!”
https://fujimi-trpg-online.jp/game/mikutrpg_cs.html

Story from the official site (translation is not official):

“In this world, everyone holds a special song in their hearts. Normal people cannot hear these songs. The only ones who can are music spirits known as “Otodama,” and the “Otodama Wizards” who befriend them… as well as the monsters known as “Otokui” who consume these songs of the heart.”

“Hatsune Miku TRPG is a tabletop role-playing game where you can borrow the powers of an Otodama, and go on adventures in order to defeat the Otokui!”

“In the second edition, ‘COCORO SESSION,’ we’ve added rules that enable you to spend time even outside of the Cocoro Dungeons.”

“So deepen the bonds with your comrades, and go save those who have lost the songs in their hearts!”

This new edition also boasts 80 news songs, such as Karakuri Pierrot, Jabberwocky Jabberwocka, RIP=RELEASE, and many more that lend power to your characters. 5 songs in particular – Kami Hikouki, Servant of Evil, Alien Alien, Senbonzakura, and Last Battle – serve as the motif for 5 new Cocoro Dungeons that await you!

When creating your characters, you have the choice of four “cores” personalities, each of which has its own Otodama to control, and it’s own illustration. From left-to-right, top-to-bottom, these “cores” are Dark, Love, Eccentric, and Melancholic. They were illustrated by NEGI (who also illustrated the new comics), 猫魚 (Nekosakana), ヒライユキオ (Yukio Hirai), and 美和野らぐ (Ragu Miwano).
