Synopsis:

After four years with 9th Level Games, Ninja Burger has decided to strike out on its own. Presenting the new Ninja Burger 2nd Edition RPG! Ninja Burger, the world's only fast-food chain run by ninja, is looking for new recruits. Do you have what it takes to work for them? Pirates need not apply! The second edition of the award-winning Ninja Burger RPG has been completely revamped and rewritten, with an all-new game engine and all new ninja content.

  • Over 100 pages of funny, fast-paced action, ideal for both one-shot "Beer & Pretzels" gaming as well as longer campaigns
  • The PDQ system, a game engine designed for evocative simplicity, speed and flexibility in play, as seen in the award-winning Monkey, Ninja, Pirate, Robot and Truth & Justice (PDQ System Design by Chad Underkoffler, Atomic Sock Monkey Press)
  • Fully-customizable character creation, with five suggested jobs for quick-play action. Be a Ninja Driver, Chef, Deliverator, or even a master of Ninja Magic!
  • San Francisco - A complete city setting for all your Ninja Burger adventures
  • An 8-page starting adventure, plus four 2-page mini-deliveries
  • Book Excerpt:

    Welcome to the second edition of the Ninja Burger Roleplaying Game, the world's only RPG featuring ninja who deliver fast food. At least, we hope so. Really, one is plenty.

    If you're reading this, chances are good that you're familiar with Ninja Burger, but in case it's new to you, don't worry - aside from knowing what "ninja" and "burger" mean, there's little to learn. If you can picture a ninja delivering a hamburger (never mind why, for now), then you've got an idea of what this game is about: fast-paced ninja action, a really ridiculous plot, and a whole lot of fun for all concerned.

    If you've played the original Ninja Burger RPG, you'll find this new edition keeps to the spirit of the first edition, offering a freewheeling, wacky way to pass an hour or two between sessions of your regularly scheduled game. In fact, if you can grasp the basic concept (and you're running a quick one-shot game), you can skip to Chapter 2 to create a ninja character.

    For those of you looking for a bit more burger - say, a triple cheeseburger with extra bacon - read on, because this new edition takes ninja fast food delivery to a whole new level. Not only does it introduce a completely new game engine - Atomic Sock Monkey Press's PDQ System - but it gives you the opportunity to go beyond "Beer and Pretzels," if you choose. You can still play the game as a one-shot here and there, but you can also develop characters that gain honor, advance over time, and aspire to greatness and domination of the fast food industry.

    Assuming they survive, of course.
