So – What’s this all about then? Its my Way of the Tiger Playthrough! Well, yeah, I can see that from the heading. I can read, you know. Sorry. So what’s a ‘playthrough’? And while you’re at it, what’s a ‘Way of the Tiger’? Way of the Tiger was the name of a simply awesome series… Continue reading READ THIS FIRST – FAQ
Well! We’ve made it to the end of a long and winding road! Thank you to all who have both stayed with me since March 2016, and also those who’ve joined the journey along the way, while reading the archives. I’ve always felt a magnificent thrill of pride when I note that some individual reader… Continue reading Way of the Tiger review and survey!
If you only want ninja adventures, skip this post. There’ll be a post with all sorts of ninja commentary later on. I originally made a commitment to make this blog about gamebooks, and particularly the Way of the Tiger, rather than political opinion.

I choose Arrow Cutting, Poison Needles and Immunity to Poison. I apparently grew up on… Continue reading Background and skills
