Expanded Oriental Adventures

[NiTessine]

Expanded Oriental Adventures? Heck yeah!

Kara Tur included? Hell no! I would rather see a very limited amount of setting material. Go ahead and release a Kara Tur book, I will ignore it but a lot of other people will like it. But put the OA material in a seperate book.

Agreed, though for different reasons. Both the Oriental Adventures rules expansion and Kara-Tur are fairly massive in size, and to stick both in the same book would do neither justice.

Isn't that nearly all the flavor text (clans, leaders, etc)?

Not an arguement, I really don't know.

Well, I'm not a lawyer. The Designation of Product Identity is right alongside the OGL in the back of the Rokugan book. If you're not sure, you can contact someone at AEG (information should be there also).

To be honest, I'd see the purging of the Rogukan text, flavor and all, as a favor to the text as it would allow the material to be more generic, like the Player's Handbook and increase it's overall utility.

Is Dragonfist still available on WotC site? It was an odd 2nd ed variant they had up for download for a while. It was very wuxia-y, and covered levels 1-10. I remember thinking the rules were a bit odd, but it reminded me why I always preferred Chinese-based Oriental campaigns to Japanese. Also, I'd like to see ancient/medieval India get its own supplement, rather than getting crammed in with the far east.

I have the Dragonfist .pdf from the original free download. I love everything about it, though I never got to run or play in the setting.

Psionic content would fit like a glove here. Mentally disciplined monks, high-flying sword-fighters, etc.

I'd love it if what I laughingly call the "rules" for the use of ki powers were scrapped and they became psionic abilities instead.

Doubt it will ever happen though.

WotC won't want too much psionic content discouraging psionic haters from buying the book (even if the psionics used were no more complicted than the rules for running mind flyers and githzerai in the Monster Manual).
