C&S used mechanics by Simbalist and Backhaus and was in a similar mode to the mechanics for Space Opera and Land of the Rising Sun (a Japan flavoured incarnation of C&S written by Lee Gold).Viktorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04867648528753994863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-37234504116896530462011-05-12T14:30:10.780-04:002011-05-12T14:30:10.780-04:00I liked the FGU ads, Villains and Vigilantes in pa...I liked the FGU ads, Villains and Vigilantes in particular because each one presented an illustrated and statted NPC.christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09650456794111980661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-52365368091396068722011-05-12T13:27:46.517-04:002011-05-12T13:27:46.517-04:00Bushido was a big hit in the UK where I played it ...Bushido was a big hit in the UK where I played it on and off.

I knew one player - back around 85 - that had a copy of Bushido, which I imagine that he got through mail order.KPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374233546533225028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-29888012712906773582011-05-12T12:34:51.465-04:002011-05-12T12:34:51.465-04:00We found Bushido too complicated for its own good,...We found Bushido too complicated for its own good, but still great fun to play because of the over-the-top, chambara-style play that it encouraged. It's been a looooong time since I played it, so my memory isn't entirely clear, but weren't the rules an adaptation of Chivalry & Sorcery?<br /><br />SteveStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11677895164302972957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-10285460868693523662011-05-12T10:14:30.233-04:002011-05-12T10:14:30.233-04:00I always enjoyed Samurai games like Bushido and 5 ...I always enjoyed Samurai games like Bushido and 5 Rings, but enjoyed even more the Cyberpunk 2020 Japan with cyber samurai and don't remember any Talsorian ads in Dragon.

I didn't own it myself, but we played a campaign at the local game store back in the 80's, and I remember having a lot of fun with it.Greyhawk Grognardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13929743865700766901noreply@blogger.com
