James Wallis is bringing back the Baron

The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen will be re-released in the next two months

Rock.

I like to point out that there are more people in Israel playing the Baron’s game then know of Wallis’ book; and they are missing out on what is perhaps the most entertaining “game manual” ever written.

James Wallis 19.03.07 / 10pm

I knew the game had been an underground hit in the orthodox Jewish community in the UK… but in Israel too? Wow. Do you think there might be scope for an edition in Hebrew, if the right translator could be found?
I. 20.03.07 / 4pm

Yes, pretty big hit in Israel, proportionally to the smallness of the country.

I do not think a Hebrew edition will be a good commercial move (smallness of country again), but it sure will rock. And the Baron’s style will lend itself real well to Hebrew.

Anyway, congrats. And thanks. And good luck,
I.
