This is a silly post.
Ninja and Burger... two words that we don't normally associate with each other.
The first time I heard 'Ninja Burger' was on my way to my room mate's pre-wedding party (which was a blast I might add). My mind stopped working and tried to put Ninja and Burger into a coherent understanding. I didn't think they were serious... but they were... it is a table top game!
It felt as though my mind had to turn itself inside out to get the picture. Ninja delivering fast food driven by honor and duty. A secret fast food franchise that promised to deliver honorable and just burgers, hand-broiled in the traditions of their ancestors, in under 30 minutes or they commit seppuku (ritual suicide).
Perhaps an example is required. The president is on his personal jet surrounded by his personal bodyguards and gets a hankering for fast food. He calls up Ninja Burger (which he believes is a joke) and orders an Honorable Ninja Burger Biggie Meal and it is up to the players (who are ninja) to deliver the meal to the president on his jet plane without being spotted by his bodyguard. How do they do it? It doesn't matter how, but they WILL succeed because they are ninja! and ninja NEVER fail.
While intercepting the presidents plane in the super duper ninja burger stealth jet the ninja encounter one of their rivals who is also trying to deliver to the president, Samurai Burger. The Ninja leap out of the stealth jet onto the Samurai Burger jet and engage in an epic sword fight and condiments war while freefalling with their Samurai Burger foes.
After infiltrating the president's plane the ninja stealthily place the meal on the presidents lap and leave before anyone can see them. How did they do this? They are ninja, that is how!
So yes... Ninja Burger. I was so enthralled by this ridiculous idea that I went to download the game books. I actually ended up buying a download and discovered that the game is amazingly simple. It was designed for the 'Beer Engine' which is so simple that you should be able to play it while drunk.
So there might be some wacky crazy fun involving Ninja Burger this summer... at least I hope I can find enough people to try it out a few times. Perhaps the final boss for the campaign will be a thrice undead ancient armored hairy undead horse on steroids with its mate who are secretly also ninja!
