No Western games are grabbing my attention yet (I'm still looking forward to Feng Shui) so I have actually been (gasp! wait for it!) buying some Japanese ones. REVIEWS RIGHT, I SAID TO MYSELF, I'M JUST GOING to have to buckle down and make the best of it.

This issue (16 pages): REVIEWS Japan, China and Putney EARDRUM BUZZ Rolegaming Futures ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA Society Is To Blame BLACK BOX Personality Crises COLLOQUY Letters to the Editor Now I've just got to get her to churn out three a day for the next month. Examples are to be found in the Once Upon A Time In China column later in the zine. And if this issue seems even more than usually obsessed with that stupid game, then just remember that a lot of good things related to it have all happened at once, including the discovery that my wife can draw exactly the kind of pictures I wanted to illustrate the game with.
Oddly enough, this has coincided with the decision to decrease the amount of Chinese language used in Outlaws of the Water Margin. Yes, I know, I should be striving for fluency in Japanese rather than farting around with another language (when I try to speak French or German nowadays, Japanese words automatically interject themselves). Dumb news of the issue is that I'm finally going to start taking Chinese lessons. Thanks Lee! Now I need some more off the rest of you. Even better news is that I have a contributed article at last.
We might switch some time in the future, though, especially as all my players are interested in China. Perversely, the game in question is not Outlaws, but Empire of the Petal Throne. I've also finally got a regular game going here, with a bunch of good, enthusiastic players. Nice timing, folks! Also sort of good news is the purchase at this end of a nice little printer that prints 600dpi but makes it look like 1200dpi. To mark the year in which I intend to publish the Water Margin, a nice company has decided to release The Water Margin on video (see the letters column for one or two more details).
