Eric Holmes 1981 book, "Fantasy RPGs", which I read recently.B&B is definitely a merger of Watership Down and D&D.Holmes said the game placed heavy emphasis on role-playing the rabbit characters, so he thought it would either be very good, or very bad (boring) depending on who was playing.It also mentioned there was a martial art system called - no joke - "Bun Foo" I'd like a copy of it, but its seems to fetch high prices.The Watership Down cartoon is definitely a classic movie. Like the best kid's movies, it's dark and disturbing in parts.

I don't know all of the details yet, but she is used to my fast'n'loose brown book D&D style of play and these rules appear to be a lot more clunky. I can ask her for more details if anyone is interested.
