[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 7979974, member: 6802378"] Almost of topic, but I suggest a little retcon of the lore of the korokokuru/[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korpokkur']korpokkur[/URL]. If the etimology of the name means something like "people below the leaves of the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petasites_japonicus']Fuki[/URL]" then in my OA the origin of this name was a nickname because their traditional clothing used hats made by leaves of butterbunt plats, symbol of health and good luck in their culture. In my OA the tengus really haven't got long nose, symbol of their pride, but they wore maks with long noses because it was a subtile way to say "I don't want you to be close to me" (This is the reason of the crow-peak masks as symbol of the doctors from past ages). If we observe current MMOs based in Asian fantasy, sometimes we find a race of little humanoids with cute and animal traits. The new OA should add the "kemonomimi" ( = "animal ears") as PC races. The hengeyokai as PC race, isn't broken the power of shapesifting? Usually racism against fantasy races is stupid, but we should take care because sometimes a race could suffer some stereotypes linked with some communities from real world. Let's use as example a race of black-haired minotaurs, like the races of Spanish fighting bulls, and their country has got all the trope of the anti-Spanish black legend (lazies, scoundrels, religious zealots, sloppies). And maybe nobody notices until somebody complains and then the controversy starts. [LIST] [*]Kara-Tur will come back, but not in this phase yet, maybe even after Dragonlance. OA is too good to not be used as plataform to promote new classes with special game mechanics, for example the martial adepts. [*]Other option would be a adaptation of some new franchise, not created by WotC but by Hasbro, for toys, or some action-live production by One Enternaiment for Asian market. [/LIST] We have got also the option to publish a SRD of OA to be used by 3PP for their own settings. * The dokkaebi, from Korean folklore, should be also a OA D&D race. * Are nezumi/ratfolk canon in D&D yet? * Could WotC use [URL='https://d20animesrd.opengamingnetwork.com/races-%e7%a8%ae%e6%97%8f/']PC races of "play manga d20" if these are in any SRD[/URL]?
