First let me say, I am glad that the oriental adventure books lacked historical accuracy and realism, since I wanted Wuxia and stereotype in my asian adventures.
Second, more interesting to me than the cobbled setting you would get (as someone pointed out, Ancient Rome, Medieval England, etc all rolled into one), is the perspective you would get on the Western Character. It seems to me that the glue which binds the oriental setting, is the western view of asians as wise, honorable and determined. To me this is what makes the asian setting so fun. So how would Asian RPG designers depict the western character? I do know some people from asia, which doesn't make me an expert or anything, but they have told me that the asian stereotype of westerners is they are highly emotive, that they are all
christian, and they are all big.
