Cliff Ramshaw reviewed The Complete Ninja's Handbook for Arcane magazine, rating it an 8 out of 10 overall. [1] Ramshaw comments: "Ninjas are always fascinating.

Dungeons & Dragons is a structured yet open-ended role-playing game. It is normally played indoors with the participants seated around a tabletop. Typically, one player takes on the role of Dungeon Master (DM) while the others each control a single character, representing an individual in a fictional setting. [24]
Dungeons & Dragons (D&D), the first formalized roleplaying game, introduced the use of classes, which were inspired by the units in miniature wargames such as Chainmail. [6] Many subsequent games adopted variations of the same idea. These games are sometimes referred to as 'class-based' systems.
Each character is randomly assigned at birth to a class in the strict feudal hierarchy of Nippon - Samurai, various commoner classes, and Eta. For level advancement, honourable behaviour and loyal service to the character's social group (the local lord, the ninja clan, the temple, the gang, etc.) are as important as defeating enemies in battle.
