Transparent Tiles, Take 2

Rukaroa — Wed, 05 May 2010 05:15:32 +0000

After my first disappointing purchase, I recklessly hunted for another set. This time, I found it from somewhere up in Canadia. Despite the blatant advertising on the aluminum case, this is a VERY nice set overall. Now, I had to …

I finally caved in and bought some transparent mahjong tiles. So here’s a little review I put together about it. As shown in the link above, I got the set from Mahjong Mart. The case itself is pretty nice with …

Rukaroa — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 20:13:06 +0000

I was messing around with RPG Maker VX again a little bit last night after the mahjong game, and decided to try out some scanlating fonts to see how they’d look in it. Most of them looked fairly decent, but …

Before I start talking about last night’s mahjong game, I’d like to present a drawing that Fia, a friend of Wong’s, did last week. Thanks Fia! Now about last night. It was probably the best, most intense, and fastest game …

Another Dream Issue 3 has been released! Please check it out in Gensokyo.org’s gallery! Yes, I do have a page in the issue as a guest art request from Wong. It could have been better even after 3 years of …

Sketches and Mahjong Log #4

Rukaroa — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 21:06:47 +0000

Hmm…I’ve been trying to get back in the drawing mood lately, but with edits and classes (both of which I need to work on more), finding time is a bit of a puzzle. I’ve been playing a bit with sketches …

While juggling classes, scanlation projects, and general housekeeping, there comes a time when people just need a break, and what better way to spend a Friday night than playing mahjong? (Hmm……learning to make fresh ramen comes to mind.) Anyway, last …

Three-player Mahjong

Rukaroa — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 03:26:34 +0000

Contrary to popular belief, you can play mahjong with only three people. All you have to do is take out one-fourth of the tiles out of the game. This can be approached two ways: part of a numbered suit (say …

Played a few games on Tenhou today in the main lobby. First one was a bit of a survival fest in which someone declared riichi after their 6th draw consistently for the first 4 or 5 rounds. It was a …

Lately, the Gaku-Touhou scanlation staff (as well as acquaintances) have been getting into mahjong using the Japanese rule set using Tenhou, an online mahjong program. Among the usual players are Pilpsie, Trefle, Arsen, Wong, Jiu, Komachi, TranceHime, Smashy, and myself. …
