[QUOTE="Orius, post: 5367287, member: 8863"] I managed to catch that before replying because on of the posters was frequently referring to 3e OA. I'm thinking "huh?" with all the references to a 3.0 book, and then I saw the date. One of the web's biggest mysteries is how a forum newbie will always manage to dig deep into the archives and resurrect at least one long-dead thread that everyone else had forgotten. ;) I'm not trying to be nasty about it here, it just confuses me as to how so many new people ignore about 5 pages of current topics, up to 20 pages of topics recently discussed, and then go down to Display Options and select "From the beginning" and just pick something apparently at random from the end of the list. :confused: It's probably isn't all that random, but it really feels that way when reading a necro. Why do people go back so far when this really isn't a dead forum? I think this is the best approach. Tell medieval Europe to go shove it and just make a campaign that mixes stuff together. It's not like D&D has ever truely been historically accurate anyway. I've been wanting to do this for a while so I can actually use OA. There's some good stuff in the book, but if I seperate "eastern", and "western" I have to wonder if i'll every really use the book at all. If I mix the stuff together, and blend OA elements into core and spread it through the whole campaign, then I get more use out of it. Hey, maybe even try a more anime-styled approach. I'm serious. That stuff mixes East and West together like crazy, cranks everything up high-powered, and still manages to look fun. From what little I've seen, I swear it pulls off D&D better than other influences at times. [/QUOTE]
