Well, I rarely travel, but sometimes, it can’t be helped – I’ll be off to Japan for a couple of weeks. That’s fine for me and for my family, but definitely not good for my hobby or this blog – both will be put on hiatus until my return.
Actually I won’t be off until next monday, but, you know, there are still a lot of things to prepare… if I can, I’ll do some more postings, but you better don’t count on it.
Anyway, fortunately I will be back eventually. Expect new postings around April 20th!
Until then, another bit from old White Dwarf #47 (November 1983, if you cast back your mind). There was no article on Warhammer in this issue, but a huge chunk on Bushido, a Roleplaying Game set in a highly fictionalised Sengoku period – I think I should mention all of this as most Armchair Generals nowadays would associate Bushido with a completely different game…
I won’t write on the featured adventure in this issue, Kwaidan, even though it would deserve it (I think it’s quite good) . Instead, look at this little graphic. It’s part of a page-long advert for a company suitably called “Games”, who obviously thought that probably nobody would ever read the whole damn price-list they used as an advert. So we have this wonderful bushi entering the page, asking “Wakarimasu Ka?” [do you understand?], which really sounds as if they had taken a look into their Phrase book…
I am always a sucker for such things… and to be honest, I always regret that during my RPG times I never got hold of Bushido… of course I could just go and buy it and perhaps I will, but I assume I’d rather go for the TT-Bushido nowadays…
Anyway, take good care! I hope to see all of you here after my return!
