TMNT and Other Strangeness
What child born in 70’s America doesn’t love ninjas?
Every table top gamer has an origin story. Like comic book villains. Some catalyst pulled us into this strange world of structured, collective imagination. It sets its hook in you and you are forever haunted by a string of cathartic moments.
It is like baseball in that way. There is a romance to it. An ill defined feeling that carries weight well beyond what you expect from the outside.
My personal origin, my romantic beginnings began with TMNT and Other Strangeness. Not that hoary old goat, D&D, which seems to be the common narrative I have heard from friends. No, this beautifully illustrated, poorly laid out, short tome of creativity.
