[QUOTE="Agray Day, post: 7475262, member: 6913088"] Lately i have been watching Asian Fantasy movies, and I thought i would share some titles which i think are great sources for ideas not only for story, but also style, design, and encounters. Watching these i have had all sorts of ideas for story. I recommend fantasy setting DM's to try watching these, i own all these movies. Please post movies that you have borrowed from that are not the ones that everyone has heard about. 1) League of Gods: This was really a great movie to watch. The design style was very interesting and unique. Wonderful encounter ideas, and its a Jet Li movie. :) [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gsy6u5LdRRA[/URL] 2) Legend of the Naga Pearls: this movie has some great humor, is on the lighter side of things, but some great ideas here. [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-U7fFZ2T9VA[/URL] 3) Immortal Demon Slayer: A Sun Wu Kong Movie, great action, wonderful sets and costumes. [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iY3hvM6BVQ[/URL] 4) Journey to the West: Another Sun Wu Kong movie (there have been a lot lately) Not as good as Immortal Demon Slayer, but still a good watch. Lots of encounter & plot ideas here. [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLRO7mzVFHg[/URL] This is a series too with the first movie titled: Journey to the west Conquering the demons, i think there is a third one. [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aelriSQLqkc[/url] 5) the monkey King havoc in heavens palace: Another Sun Wu Kong Movie, Lots of Action and Design ideaa [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCj-XP5cjOY[/URL] *Note: This series continues with Moneky King 2 and Monkey King 3 released this year: [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygTmV3K57_8[/URL] [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7MR5MsIoSQ[/URL] 6) Dectective Dee Phantom Flame & Rise of the Sea Dragon: Great Movies with wonderful design and ideas. [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOp_TrO4MbA[/URL] [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doHAaothY70[/URL] The new one out this year: "Four Heavenly Kings".
