Ninja-Bear Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Re: Expanded Hero System Martial Arts Bibliography Susano I've been meaning to ask, what about Ninja and Superspies? I know that it couldn't be listed because they're ready to throw a lawsuit at any conversions posted. But I gotta say that they do have some interesting ideas (Like a martial art that does NO damage, just intimiditate!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I gotta say that they do have some interesting ideas (Like a martial art that does NO damage, just intimiditate!). It's already in the HSMA Bibliography.
