It not a "never" but a "not yet, you will have to await more".The marketing strategy would advice first a D&D isekai, and later a D&D jianghu. A different thing would be if a Korean company gave the first step and they talked with Hasbro for a parnership or licence agreement to promote their own IPs in the Western market.I dare to say really there is not a complete taboo about create content inspired in no-Western cultures, but they want to take care to do it in the right way. Hasbro wants D&D to be sold in the no-Western markets. It is not self-censorship, but they want to make sure there was good vibes among everybody.Even if WotC had got an initial plan, but after Hasbro agrees a partnership with an Asian company, and this starts to launch a lot of suggestions, then their initial plan has to be rewritten totally and start from zero again.I guess Hasbro has got more contacts and more experience with the Japanese market. The Chinese market is interesting, but it is practically a Russian roulette, if the wrong person dislike you, then you could wind up like the character played by Richard Gere in "the Red Corner".Other point is WotC's marketing strategy would rather all the titles as generic as possible, and even they will try to avoid names linked with other languange. They aren't going to say "maho shojo" but "magical maid", nor "shen" but "spirit folk".[MEDIA=youtube]Sufy3qukNQo[/MEDIA]<img src="https://srd.dndtools.org/srd/resource/images/classes/99658.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /><img src="https://srd.dndtools.org/srd/resource/images/classes/99660.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></blockquote>
