Title: Samurai Apes Runestone?
Post by: Duke Speedy of Leighton on 24 July 2017, 05:09:14 PM
Is the Samurai Ape runestone a matt black obelisk, measuring a ratio of 9x4x1?

*edited for correct ratio*

No, that was Rick Flair's (wrestler) entrance music. Not techno. Techno's more dancey

Good option, or an arm holding a torch and a crowned female head?  ;)

Don't ask me....I can't find any piccies of the apes on my computer at all.
No....I remember.....Leon came up with an idea......I think it's a statue of an 'oni'.
Can't remember what it looks like though. :^o :^o

I've not read the books or seen the films, so (possibly, if this is a literary reference?) it went straight over my head, I'm afraid.  :-[

Oni are Japenese ogres and symbols of bad luck and misfortune (or were you referring to 2001)! 👹

Samurai Pizza Cats, awesome. Fond, fond memories. Although everyone thought I'd made them up/imagined them as I must have been the only person I knew to have watched it on UK TV when it came up on Saturday mornings as a kid :D

They could have a Nurikabe.

"The nurikabe (ぬりかべ) is a Yōkai, or spirit, from Japanese folklore. It manifests as a wall that impedes or misdirects walking travelers at night. Trying to go around is futile as it extends itself forever. Knocking on the lower left part of the wall makes it disappear.[1] It has been suggested that the legend was created to explain travellers losing their bearings on long journeys" - Wikipedia

Alternative Armies have versions thatlook like this (one friendly and one hostile!)
