[QUOTE="s4dfish, post: 2008688, member: 3063"] Asian themes in RPGs have always intrigued me. After my brief, but intense, affair with Oriental Adventures, I found myself wanting more. Enter Rokugan. Rokugan takes everything that's fabulous in Oriental Adventures and whips it into a sequal that leaves you with a smile on your face. The entire work is presented in a very professional manner that does nothing if reflect WOTC's style with OA. Same font, similar layout; the whole thing reeks of a first party product, which is good. The rules are presented in a subtle and smooth manner. You won't need a hammer and nails to attach the rules to the core d20 world, they fit seemlessly. The classes are done well, none having the shotty production of many third-party productions (including AEG's other releases). The prestige classes are well designed and created with a firm idea in mind. Too many companies offer you prestige classes that seem to do too much, too poorly. Not the case here. The new feats offer a plethora of choices, and even intorduces an entire new realm of feats with Void Use Feats. Very cool. The new spells are well designed but don't leave drooling at the mouth as the rest of the book does. Aside from the new rule introductions the fiction is very intriguing. I never played L5R in CCG or RPG form before, so I was nervous at entering the world with just this book. Surprisingly this book gives plenty of background for a new player (or DM). Having read the book I feel confident playing in the campaign world. The whole product is well done. It gives all you can ask for, and leaves you wating with baited breath for the next release in the line. In a word, fabulous D R Anderson -s4dfish- [/QUOTE]
