By Goji-Anon Godzilla. A legend with over 50 years of cinematic history under his belt. His popularity is undeniable around the world - Hell some places ran news stories about Godzilla’s death in Godzilla vs Destroyah. So, it only makes sense that he would break into the world of American comics. The company that produces the greatest number of these comics is IDW comics. They’ve created an expansive universe for Godzilla and other assorted characters. The majority of these comics are just small mini-series telling interesting stories with Godzilla as the principal character; however, there is one series they have that’s connected. Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters, Godzilla: Ongoing, and Godzilla: Rulers of Earth. This will be the continuity that you start in Jumper. You start just before Godzilla awakens and all Hell breaks loose. You’ll need some help to survive in this world jumper. Have 1000 CP to help you out.

D20: Toho Based Dungeons & Dragons
First Published: 10/09/02 Updated: 06/02/16 This article features rules for a Toho universe based Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) game. It adapts Godzilla, Mothra and characters from other science fiction and fantasy films like the Onmyoji series for the game. The rules are broken into four sections: Janjira: a Toho based setting Gods Monsters Spells and Domains Equipment Gods includes information on the god-kaiju of a Toho universe based campaign. The monsters are the various creatures of a Toho universe based game, including non-divine kaiju and monsters. Also includes rules on playing some of the more benign races. The History of Janjira The new world began with the destruction of the old one. Ten thousand years ago the nations of Janjira, who had long labored to secure their kingdoms against the trials and tribulations of the world, achieved their goal. Their greatest minds had derived wondrous technologies from the very foundations of the world, a melding of machine and magic. Where once children in remote villages grew up hungry and sick, automatons were brought to tend crops and heal their maladies. Houses in the mountains were filled with warmth during the coldest months of the year and the deadliest creatures of the wild were held in check by the awesome might of their arms. The most basic trials that had harried civilization since the beginning of time now assuaged, the people of Janjira set aside their toils and gazed out on their lands in peace. Years passed, and they forgot the struggles of their ancestors and set aside their gods, decreeing that their society had reached what must surely be perfection.

VHD Index - 02 9/29/04 4:43 PM Page 715 Alternative Titles Index While it's true that we couldn't include every Asian cult flick in this slim little vol- ume—heck, there's dozens being dug out of vaults and slapped onto video as you read this—the one you're looking for just might be in here under a title you didn't know about. Most of these films have been released under more than one title, and while we've done our best to use the one that's most likely to be familiar, that doesn't guarantee you aren't trying to find Crippled Avengers and don't know we've got it as The Return of the 5 Deadly Venoms. And so, we've gathered as many alternative titles as we can find, including their original language title(s), and arranged them in alphabetical order in this index to help you out. Remember, English language articles ("a", "an", "the") are ignored in the sort, but foreign articles are NOT ignored. Hey, my Japanese is a little rusty, and some languages just don't have articles.
