    historical references for "points of light"?

    I think this is ultimately hinging on what you're choosing to define a PoL setting as. Clearly there were people in historical time periods who did trade, who made the hell out of some treasure, etc. There is a reason why gold was valued by so many societies: Doen't tarnish, doesn't corrode...

    Yes, and "money"lenders also came about at this period as well.

    historical references for "points of light"?

    In the time period I reference, there was a thriving trade in the importation of coins from China for a cash economy, and extrapolating from that, even with a barter economy, the value of the land was very precisely fixed into how many koku the land could produce, the koku being the theoretical...

    Didn't threaten the mainland, but the unhappy remaining natives of Attu Island were sent to Hokkaido and didn't fare very well there. Drop in the bucket, to be sure but still very :(

    historical references for "points of light"?

    :D Early period-Ashikaga was still relatively weak compared to the later Edo Jidai. I use Ashikaga Shogunate as an indicator for myself because Sengoku Jidai tends to suggest to me proper daimyo who have finally consolidated their territories and are moving against each other, such as the...

    "JIU ZHOU"(or NOVOLAND), Chinese Fantasy P&P RPG.

    The art is beyond beautiful! Seems to be the age again when new and beautiful things come from China, as I've noticed from the arts scene that's come over here as well. :D I'm half-Japanese and have been doing a lot of research on the Japanese Middle Ages from the end of the Heian period onward...

    historical references for "points of light"?

    Japan during the Ashikaga shogunate. Kyoto was the only real city, Kamakura was withering away, villages were farmhouses spread over estates rather than a cluster of buildings, and the only real authorities were the ones who held the most spears and naginatas.

    Outside of Pearl Harbor and the occupation of Attu Island in Alaska, there was some very limited bombing by Japanese launched parachute bombs in Oregon and California and killed a couple of people. IIRC there were some incendiary bombs on them as well with the intent of starting massive forest...

    FR's other continents?

    It's on the Land of Fate CS map...says "To Akota." Another product mentions trade caravans going there, but is still mighty vague about what the place is like. So for all intents and purposes, AFAIK, it's just a name on a map and could be anything.

    They make swords out of women now? J/k Wasn't there also a system for GP sacrifice upgrades in 3.0 OA? Either for the samurai class or for the wuxia-but-not-quite PrC?

    And another reason I hate the term "fluff" . . .

    Huh huh! You said "innuendo." My mind had taken an unfortunate turn when I read that as a skill in the 3.0 PHB. It just can't be helped. Sometimes the brain's gears just work that way. If you know what I mean.
