[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 5347368, member: 50895"] True. I am aware of all this history, though. I probably shouldn't be spouting off my expertise in the matter, especially since I don't play D&D in the Renaissance, and for the same matter don't play Japan games from the Sengoku period forward. Once guns show up, I'm no longer interested in playing that kind of setting. Though Nobunaga Oda is one of my favorite historic figures from Japan. My setting to be published (soon) is based on Japan at the very end of the Genpei War, in fact the founding of my mythical setting is based on a curse uttered by the grandmother (wife of Taira no Kiyomori) of Antoku the five year old emperor, just before they leaped into the sea to their deaths. Although 700+ years go by, technology doesn't change, its a complete fantasy world at this time. There are no guns, there was never a Mongol invasion, nor a Sengoku, no Toyotomi and no Tokugawa - that all happens in real Japan, not Kaidan. Kaidan for all intents and purposes is stuck in a mythical land that follows samurai culture at 1185. In my fake history, the Taira win the Genpei War and there is no Kamakura Bakufu. Instead it becomes Fukuhara Bakufu, with an undead Taira no Kiyomori as Shogun, undead Antoku (who is stuck in his five year old form and stuck in the mind of a child) who is still the currently reigning emperor. So my vision of a samurai is what they were in the initial years following the Genpei war, being mostly archers with katana as a secondary weapon. GP [/QUOTE]
