Open Oriental Content

[wedgeski]

Hi folks,

As I start my search, it makes sense to ask you folks as well. I'm looking for Open oriental rules upon which to base the crunchy bits of an adventure without having to come up with a ton of new stuff - is there any out there?

Many thanks!

I'm fairly certain that most of the rules and mechanics in Avalanche's Jade and Steel were open. However, my copy is packed away, so someone else would have to confirm this.

Well, Green Ronin's Jade Dragons & Hungry Ghost has about 60 OGC Oriental mobs for you to draw from. Heh, didn't even realize I had this book until cleaning out a box earlier this evening. Thank god for assorted ebay sales

In addition to Jade & Steel and Jade Dragons & Hungry Ghosts, there's Beyond Monks.

You could swipe some ideas from the Battle Realms RTS. It's almost like Rokugan Lite with only 4 clans (Dragon, Serpent, Lotus and Wolf) but it also uses gunpowder. IIRC, a semi recent Dragon had 2 unit types turned into PrC's like was done with Warcraft 3.

Thanks for the suggestions!

There is also the action! system which has a few addendum for honor kao and the like (it will be the system used in the new edition of Sengoku). Everything under the OGL.
