I really like this product and am looking forward to the rest of it.

One minor request: add some english equivalent names in additon to the japanese. Having names that don't mean anything to me takes away a little. (I do realize this lack of japanopihilia docks me a few geek points, sorry)

Besides, haven't you ever wanted to play a samurai named Ten Lotus Blossom?

On the english names... I did some of that (like in the new knowledge skills)... what specifically was a source of confusion? The class names? Anything that isnt clear is worth taking a look at...

Is the reviews page down again?

 

[Vigilance]

Yes

However Michael is working on it from my perusal of the Meta forum.

Mostly just the class names.

Ashigaru just doesn't mean anything to me the way Ninja does.

Ashigura (soldier) would have been more useful. Or exactly like you did with the knowledge skills.

I didn't know what several of the feats were either, but those are so brief that it really isn't an issue there.

Thanks

All right... we will do another update at some point... I'll add that to my list

Thanks again
