I think you are feigning ignorance of his intent in order to pontificate, and to deride the OP. I don't mean this as an insult, you are clearly very intelligent, but I don't think that is the level of depth the OP had in mind. And it seems like many of the posts along this line of thinking have...

I dont think we need quess anything about his world, just help him remove things that have asian flavor, like monks and katanas. This isn't some opportunity for us to show how much we know about history and the transmission of culture, he justs wants to know how to remove asian flavor.

I think no eastern flavor is pretty clear and understandable, and I don't think it suggests any kind of hyper historical accuracy. The guy clearly isn't interested in things like black pepper. More information would of course be helpful, but based on the "no eastern flavor" thing, should be...

First, I don't care for alignment or alignment tracking. Second, I think bad deeds do outwiegh good deeds when evaluating where someone falls morally. For example, suppose I introduced you to my friend George, and told you he gives to the poor, donates his old clothers to charity, works for...

This is how Nazi Germany began.

I liked 3E a lot. But I did notice the more rigid people were about the rules, the less I enjoyed the game. For me it was fun when people approached the system more casually. A really aggressive rules lawyer could easily ruin a game of 3E.

I don't know about wraith recon, but Amethyst breaks from the points of light concept anyways.

Kudos on possessing all that historical knowledge, but I think you are over thinking this one. He said 'eastern flavor', which probably means things that scream asian, possibly middle eastern. So katana is out, monk is out. But golden dragon is in, because we usually associate it with high...

I had issues with the old planar model, just too much going on there in my opinion. But I think they went a little too far with the whole Points of Light concept (which we are all free to deviate from, so it isn't a huge deal). But points of light is too readily built with the game in mind...

What makes a campaign world playable and fun? For me, it depends, since I have different expectations from different campaign styles and settings. but I suppose the following list captures what makes me enjoy a campaign setting: -A theme. Not a big fan of highly detailed, in depth settings...

I don't know, I found it was very workable as a campaign setting. Not if you want a setting that is heavy on realism of course, but for a fantasy/horror setting, I thought it worked. Particularly the 3E rules released by Arthaus Games. Personally I found it a lot of fun to be a plater or a GM...

There is nothing wrong with a structured adventure plot. The problem is when the GM doesn't allow deviation from the events he has planned. Sometimes railroading is okay, it has to happen once in a while (sometimes there really is only one option). But I can't stand it when the GM simply won't...

I love the game, it really captures a fantasy adventure feel and transfers it to the board game medium. Loads of fun, and gorgeous components.

I had a dream that president Bush kept telling me I was fired.

Does anyone know if there are plans to release Ravenloft for 4th edition?

What are your reasons for becoming vegetarian? First, be sure to monitor how you feel as you begin the new diet. You may want to consult your doctor first, just to make sure you don't need to worry about anemia. Here is my advice: -Eat lots of spinach, it is a good source of iron -Eat...

I think it makes sense that people eat things they are familiar with and avoid things they are not familiar with. Seems like a good instinct for avoiding dangerous foods. That said, you eat what you are raised to eat. Personally I am an adventurous eater, but I still have to work harder to...

Street names are usually related to terrain, function, or history (people, events, etc). I usually try to keep this in mind when making a list, since you don't want to call it "Liberty Ave" unless there is a reason. What kind of street names are you shooting for? Here is a brief list off the...

It is designed for Colonial Gothic and requires 3-6 players. Playtests begin Wednesday evening, January 21, and will continue (on Wednesdays and Fridays) for about one month. Participants need only commit to one or two sessions.

I think the internet has been helpful, particularly for those of use who are well past our highschool or college years. It is a great way to find new gaming groups, and it provides an endless source of material if you are a GM. I also feel like it gives me a lot of exposure to other gaming styles.
