She had asked that someone let you know she was the one who did both of them. There are 3 separate comic strips for Lunatic Carnival that can be found in the Sega Saturn Fan magazines in 1996. Regarding Lunatic Parade, there are 7 separate comic strips for that, which can be found in the Megadrive Fan magazines in 1994.
All right! Thank you for the information.
As you may have noticed, I've been
very gradually updating some of the sections over the... ... ...years, honestly... and this year I'm finally getting to all the non-game sections. So I'll roll that into the next update to make sure the manga credits and info are up-to-date. Quite simply, I haven't touched that section in quite a while.
MagicGuildMember wrote:Also, regarding the novel section where it says: "In total, there are nine Lunar novels;" there are actually ten. I noticed one of the Magical School Lunar novels missing. It is called Magical School Lunar! RPG and it was done by Takeshi Suzuki and Keita Azuta. Here is a picture of the novel itself.
As Alun and others pointed out, while this is an
incredibly rare Lunar item (to-date it's the hardest thing I've ever tried to find), it's a TRPG book -- really it's no more of a novel than the strategy guides or artbooks would be.
Also, I'm way more familiar with Western TRPGs (D&D, Pathfinder, Shadowrun) than the MAGIUS system, and there's a lot of dense information here to unpack. So it'll probably be some time before I can actually sit down and explain what all is in this. The short version is that the MAGIUS system is basically a series of scenarios you can play through -- and each person playing picks one of the actual characters from the game (so, no character creation, though I think there's guides in the MAGIUS rulebook itself for how one might do that). It strikes me as something like a hybrid of choose-your-own-adventure books and D&D.

Yeah, it's because we don't have scans of that yet {^^}. We have plenty of older magazine article already up, so it's a lower priority than, say, the All The Lunar page (which is the next item on the list), or the MSL TRPG book.

Huh... ...I've never seen anything like that before.

Thanks! While G1 built the site and much of the initial content (as well as the main TSS/SSS/EB/EBC screenshot sections), I handled most of the recent updates and nearly all of the translations (except where otherwise indicated on the sites).
...and given a lot of the other things going on in the last couple years (for both me and G1), it also means we have less time these days to make the updates we'd like.
I just hope Damon doesn't show up again to get all preachy about how we're not doing enough... he's just never satisfied. KF
