[Tharian]

I'm glad you keep this thread going. I really like the work you put on display for us.

The next illustration for Way of the Samurai, the Teppou Bushi (for those wanting to play a gunslinger in Kaidan...)

This guy is a kuge, who starts his normal samurai levels, 2 levels later, starting with more diplomatic and courtly skills. In Kaidan it's not what you know, but who you know... a kuge is born in the right family and will move higher and faster than even someone with more martial skill.

For female gamers wanting to run a samurai warrior, there is precedent. During the Genpei War (1180 - 1185), Tomoe Gozan served under the cousin to the future first Shogun of Japan, Minamoto Yoritomo.

The yabusame (mounted archer samurai):

Next illustration (only 1 to go) is the only one with a background, because the resource photo featured him sitting atop a mountain, which is so on concept, I had to include it. This is the alternate paladin class for Kaidan, the yamabushi.

Working on Japanese bathhouse maps for a possible Kaidan project. This is the first of four floors, the bathing area. It is being designed as a haunted site with multiple haunts and a custom ghost template for a murder mystery encounter.

Next level, Tearoom/restaurant level, alternatively the gambling/entertainment level, and at night a communal sleeping chamber with futon mattresses on the floor for pilgrims and other groups of clients.

Next level: staff communal quarters, or in the case of a yakuza controlled bathhouse, the kyodai communal quarters (gang).

One more level to go...
