August 31, 2009: Action 3: Furious Fists

The first two entries into the Action series gave us nearly everything needed for campaigns modeled after the summer movie blockbuster. Car chases, clever crooks, big guns, explosions -- fast, fun . . . But where are the ninja?

Action 3: Furious Fists proves that they were there all along -- you just couldn't see them. They're ninja, after all. But it doesn't stop there. No, heroes of all types who prefer to bring the pain with bare hands are covered: the hulking big guy, the untouchable fast guy, the athletic traceur, and the lethal-weapon master.

Ok, I can see the ninja have your attention. Now for the clincher: see the author credit? Yep, that's Sean "Dr. Kromm" Punch.

And if that doesn't sell it for you, well, I don't know what will.
