[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8024405, member: 6802378"] After reading [URL='https://comicbook.com/gaming/news/dungeons-dragons-oriental-adventures-sale-wizards-of-the-coast/']a new in comicbook[/URL] I am thinking this is the time we should talk about Oriental Adventures, Kara-Tur and wuxia genre in D&D. If I was Asian I would support a new Oriental Adventures like a bridge to help Asian culture to be known by the Western public. This is not about to say "Not, Never" but how to do it in the right way. Asian companies should be happy a wuxia D&D as a "icebreaker" to help to their franchises/IPs (manga-anime and videogames) to be known in Western markets.
