If you want it to be a hack. We've gotten that twice already (with both Oriental Adventures), it was boring and not well done. It's time to move on and a take a broader brush and give a smorgasboard to let DMs make the most of their East-Asian inspired campaigns rather than a narrow focus on a single culture that had only a limited impact on other cultures around them. I mean, if you had to go mono-cultural, you'd think that China would be your goto considering how much impact that it had on surrounding cultures and the wealth of history it brings.</blockquote>
