[Polyhedron] The Bimonthly "What's the Next Minigame?" Thread

[RodneyThompson]

Hell yeah! My article made the cover. That's a picture from my d20 Modern article of a character named Kunoichi. And hey, they even mention my Star Wars article on the cover too. Sweet. I'm the man.

I think the release date is around the 27th.

"Gun-Fu Fighting"? What's that all about?

 

[RodneyThompson]

The article is about a group of modern assassins that work for the Yakuza and are loosely based on Japanese warrior archetypes -- the ninja, the samurai, the shogun, etc.

You had me at ninja, Moridin. You had me at ninja.

Rodney is, in fact, the man.

The Poly blurb on the front of the magazine says: "Now with 100% more ninjas."

And it's true.

it's a ninja game? wicked.

Hey Erik, are you planning to print adventures for any of your mini games? I've got a great idea for one...

No, I don't think that's what he meant...although Erik has threatened a full-scale ninja game.

And that would indeed be wicked.

Nice to have the editor of a magazine say such things about you.

Actually, the article I wrote isn't a ninja minigame. If there is a ninja minigame, I had no hand in it.

It's been so gratifying to see something I created appear in full color professional artwork. That's one of the best parts of being a writer; even though I have no artistic talent, in a way I get to be responsible for the creation of an awesome piece of art. My work is something of a muse, albeit not so much inspiration as blueprint.

No Ninja rpg just yet. It's coming eventually, however, as soon as I can find the right author and the right time to slot it into my schedule.

The next issue of Dungeon/Poly doesn't have a mini-game. It's just got a d20 Modern article featuring a ninja. The kids love the ninjas, and so do I.

Subscribers should get copies this week!

A ninja game, eh?

I wonder if Larry Hama [G.I. Joe] would write it.

I think Hama is the James Joyce of ninja writers.
