Not many tables use dineri, dubloons, farthings, or historical European coins. And playing in a 1E OA game right now, remembering the conversions for chi'en and yuan and tael is a headache. KISS principle. Jewelry and magic items? Definitely different. <br /><br />I will definitely include what I think makes for a good Asian theme/feel to the adventures.

So you should make sure the DM section makes it easy/natural for a DM to make the game Asian.<br />e.g. The coins section should have proper Asian coinage.<br />The magic items should be Asian style magic items.<br />The jewelery should be Asian jewelry.<br />Wandering monsters, hirelings and strongholds should evoke the setting so the DM can know nothing about it but they still create the setting you envisage.<br />John.jbeltmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02264520619277158883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255299705122830812.post-18962040622167883952019-12-12T22:59:25.682+09:002019-12-12T22:59:25.682+09:00For the name, just a proposal:

And I've got some from my old Beast of the Week series here on this old blog (already incorporated into my homebrew monster file). This game is going to have a lot of monsters.

I'd give you my own creature catalogue to add to your monster collection but you would need better artwork than the stuff I did.Sean Robert Meaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16273566549106707316noreply@blogger.com
