[QUOTE="Neil Aitken, post: 1499789, member: 17811"] [b]More recommendations[/b] I almost forgot one of the best places to turn to for ideas for building a Chinese centered game: anime. Try the following (you can get them from Netflix): [B]Twelve Kingdoms[/B] -- this one is set in mythic version of China which is broken up into twelve kingdoms. Lots of monsters, demons, and political intrigue. Very much derived from traditional Chinese mythology. [B]3x3 Eyes[/B] -- a pretty good but short series (I think 6 episodes long) set mostly in contempory China with lots of monsters and demons as well. Also some more links to look up: [URL=http://www.mandarintools.com/]Mandarin Tools[/URL] -- another portal site with lots of dictionaries and useful tools for learning Chinese. [URL=http://www.pantheon.org/areas/mythology/asia/]Encyclopedia Mythica [/URL] - several articles and entries on Chinese mythology and gods [URL=http://www.sacred-texts.com/index.htm]Internet Sacred Text Archive[/URL] - this pretty cool -- lots of English translations of obscure and difficult to find ancient texts. The website is free, but you can order the whole thing on CD for pretty cheap as well. [URL=http://www.chineseastrologyonline.com/chineseastrology.htm]Chinese Astrology Online[/URL] - probably the coolest thing about this site is that you can look up the "Rise and Fall of Your Life" chart :) It also has an online Chinese almanac. [URL=http://www.cs.utk.edu/~clay/mahjongg/rules.html]Mah Jongg Rules[/URL] - just in case you've ever wondered how real Mah Jongg is played. Have fun :) [/QUOTE]
