[QUOTE="Shoe, post: 5166083, member: 89612"] i actually have a vague familiarity with 3 kingdoms and with some other asian elements. Its not so much creating the setting I am having problems with as it is creating storylines/adventures. I watched Kung Fu panda recently which inspired me to get back on the OA train. Here is kind of what I have so far. An important lord of a territory gather the heros in a garden to discuss business, during the discussion I was thinking of having 3-4 Tibbet ninjas "invade" and assassinate the lord. I have a cool asian garden map I want to convert and use for the combat. after the lord is slain the players will have an element of mystery. Why do the ninjas want them and this lord dead, what issue was the lord calling upon them to address...but here is where I get stuck. How do i make the campaign move beyond this. I am using a Japanese governmental system (even though i use the chineese zodiac...i wanted to include some of each asian culture sans india because I have a different continent where I use indian cultures and themes.) I use the same gods in this setting as I do in my traditional fantasy setting, albeit with different names, symbols and visages, however I want the worship of spirits and ancestors to be important as well. Not really sure where to go from here...not even really sure what I want the POINT of the assassination of the lord to be... any help is welcome. Thanks for all the comments so far. I also forgot, the nation of the pig does have oriental "Orcs" in it, but the orcs in my cs have the same stats at a half orc and are a PC race. I have a good history and governmental system I like I just need something interesting for the PC's to DO :P THanks all, Shoe [/QUOTE]
