A Game About Time Traveling Ninja: Time Vs Ninja
The miraculous Hattori Hanzo arrives in Paris 845 AD to hack his way through Viking Hordes on his way to capturing Charlemagne's Crown, while the deadly Mochizuki Chiyome grabs an ATV to venture across the violent landscape of Detroit 2050...
Anything can happen when Legendary Ninja gain access to time travel abilities!
I designed the board game Time Vs Ninja to satisfy three distinct urges.
First, the urge to transverse time and space throughout a simple game, where a battle might happen in a futuristic Moon Colony, then continue into Ancient Egypt and end up in Roswell, New Mexico. The mixing of time periods and geographies always interested me and board game that explore this idea always appeal to me.
Secondly, the urge to incorporate some actual ninjitsu lore as well as real history, creating a very light 'educational' element. Maybe you don't know much about Sydney, Australia in 1776, but playing the game there might pique your curiosity!
Finally, the urge to create a wild system that can result in some memorable (and often hilarious) storytelling!
To date, I've published 5 series in the game, with a 6th just around the corner. In each series, more possible time-spaces, artifacts and legendary ninja characters are added. One day, I hope to release a massive boxset with everything.....one day!

Beware the Evil Of Horondipylus
This horrendous being waits patiently in its hidden dimension until the puzzle if formed.....
When too many objects are cluttered together in a small space, a malicious force slowly alters each of their shapes so that the shapes can fit together more snugly and create a locked-together puzzle-like mass. Once this tightly connected item is formed, the dark spirit Horondipylus comes closer to reality, and once the creature bursts into corporeal existence, it will drive the entire world into madness.

Who is Grimaldi
Who is Grimaldi?
He is the host or mascot of all things Space Monsters. He is rumored as being Frank Poole, the astronaut who was cut loose by Hal 9000 in 2001 A Space Odyssey.
The idea being that he drifted in space and was reanimated by an evil force which explains his glowing eyes.
But then he could be a flight officer from a derelict spaceship in a ship graveyard. In fact the spaceship graveyard was later discovered to be the same one that the Alphans from Moonbase Alpha came across in the Space 1999 episode Dragon's Domain.
His lifeless body was reanimated by a glowing loc-nar type evil force and then he came to us. He likes to pick on earthlings, which he refers too as Earthies....
You will know that the information is coming directly from him by noticing the computer calling out
Incoming Transmission.....Commlink Established....
At the beginning of every transmission directly from him.
His name "Grimaldi" comes from the first part of the Heavy Metal Illustrated Magazine movie. The one where the guy brings the loc-nar to his daughter and it disintegrates him.
Another theory is that he is that very astronaut but was rematerialized in a loc-nar host type form.
So those are some theories about his identity. The truth is that we don't really know. We know he is from out there somewhere and isn't human...not anymore anyway if he once was.
He is a bit of a mystery. It could be any one of these or a host of others...but we may never know.
