Interesting; hopefully someday we could get an English translation.
Regardless of whether or not the art is from the RPG, if WoTC decides to do an Oriental Adventures for 4E, then by gosh they need to contact the people who are doing that novel series and use those illustrations. I now demand bull-headed, panther-headed, and horse-headed races :) Also, a few of those would put paid to any arguements we ever had about the 'chainmail bikini'.
 

For a second I thought "Independent RPG makers can afford that kind of art in China? Who do I need to talk to to commission work over there?"
 

Wow, the concept art reminds me directly of "Chinese Ghost Story"...and that's a compliment. I wonder if this game will see a better english translation if it is successful on its home market. :)
 

The art does look to be very classicly based, with some anime influences.

Anyone virus scanned this stuff? My virus scanner is several months out of date.
 


The art is beyond beautiful! Seems to be the age again when new and beautiful things come from China, as I've noticed from the arts scene that's come over here as well. :D

I'm half-Japanese and have been doing a lot of research on the Japanese Middle Ages from the end of the Heian period onward and while China (and Korea's) influence was obvious, the extent to which it did surprised me.

This is the JIU ZHOU (NOVOLAND)'s concept arts.

Welcome everyone join and enjoy in world!

i'm so sorry to say one thing that :the host's site and TRPG system have some problems.

they aren't the technology problems,they might be copyright problems.

first i hope everyone can understand one thing:the JIU ZHOU (NOVOLAND) is a fantasy world with Chinese characteristics,it just like the world in 《the lord of rings》,but it has chinese characteristics. some chinese writers made this world in 2001.

the host may be one of the fans of the JIU ZHOU(NOVOLAND),so he did these things,

but it doesn't mean that the world is made for the TRPG system,so do the pictures.

you can say that:the TRPG system is base on the JIU ZHOU(NOVOLAND) world,But you can't say that:the world is made for the TRPG system.

and These things are just the host's individual behavior,it cannot represent the JIU ZHOU(NOVOLAND) creation group,and the host has used the pictures withtout get the drawer's sanction,he also used the world to make the TRPG system without get the sanction of the JIU ZHOU(NOVOLAND) creation group

so,

it's just the personal website : http://www.3dhsub.net/jiuzhou/en/

and this is the JIUZHOU(NOVOLAND)'s official website:http://www.9z9z.com/

this is the JIUZHOU(NOVOLAND)'s official bbs:http://bbs.9z9z.com/bbs/index.php

i'm the one of the administrators of the 9Z9Z BBS( http://bbs.9z9z.com/bbs/index.php), my ID in the bbs is 天潇(tianxiao)

thank you for everybody

JIU ZHOU is opend for anyone, no like the JIU ZHOU II.

the open doesn't mean everyone can say "our official" ,and i just sand a pronouncement ,you also can go on,but it's just your "individual behavior" and your "personal system" and your "personal site"

and if you want to use the pictures ,i think you must get the drawer's sanction first.

that's all , thank you
