Ok, here's an odd one...
A friend of mine plays a RPG (think Dungeons and Dragons) called "Champions" which is based on Superheroes. He emailed me to tell me they have a supplemental book on martial arts, and while he was browsing thru it he found an entry for "Taijutsu
Ninjitsu)"
He said it went on to provide a fairly accurate description of Ninjutsu and the 9 schools...
I have a mixed opinion of this... What do you guys think, is it a good thing or a bad thing? I mean, its cool that they researched it and made it fairly realistic, (the last gamebook i saw ninjutsu referenced listed Ashida Kim in the reference bibliograpy) but at the same time will this in the uneducated public eye make people go "Yeah whatever, that Ninja stuff is just made up from a game"
Or am I thinking way too much about it? That's probably it...
