Although board games are as old as human society, the rise of fantasy RPG tabletops as a valid form of entertainment came about when Dungeons & Dragons took over the world. Even video games use the system built by D&D to create their own universe of heroes and guilds fighting heavy odds against evil monsters and dark lords. While Eastern Asian cultures also have their own traditional board games, there is something far more fascinating brewing with manga, manhwa, and anime giving their unique spin to the spirit of D&D through heroic tales rooted in a European setting. More often than not, they fall in the Isekai subgenre, where the protagonist gets a new lease on life. On the rare occasion, this otherworldly adventure comes for them, and not in a fun way.
