Review
"I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The wealth of martial arts information it contains takes most martial artists a lifetime to research and acquire; and the illustrations by Sensei Adams are highly detailed and applicable to the serious study of the martial arts. I highly recommend this book to students of the martial arts." Grandmaster James Lacy
"The game plays great! It is nice to dive into a flexible game setting that is developed as well as this one. The characters are richly detailed, as is the setting, NPCs, and supplemental materials in the appendices. My group and I have enjoyed it thoroughly; and highly recommend it to other Role-players!" Neal Broadus, Gamemaster -- From The Publisher

TAO CHI "Ascension" is the culmination of more than a year's design and testing. Great care was taken by our staff to ensure that the work met the ultimate objectives of the creator/designer. Col. Chrisman's work has greatly inspired our team and has brought an enhanced knowledge of the history and philosophy of the Martial Arts as well as a unique insight into the medieval culture of the Orient. We are very proud to have been a part of this undertaking and are looking forward to the completion of other works by this author and his creative team.

Great Martial Arts Game Book!,
By Tonya (Frankfort, KY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: TAO CHI: "The Ascension of the Immortal Dragons" (Paperback)
The game was pretty good and we enjoyed it... but the BEST part by far about this book was the information inside! Most games just kind of lay out a system and a few characters. But this one really goes into great depth about the medieval orient and the history of the martial arts. The martial arts info alone makes this a great buy! I HIGHLY recommend it to martial artists and game enthusiasts alike!
