[QUOTE="gyor, post: 7964947, member: 6670153"] For Asian themed Settings they will likely do a Kara Tur book. It's much more developed then Kamigawa, and much more diverse, but they might add elements such as races from Kamigawa to Kara Tur, and give Kamigawa a side bar in the book. Kamigawa is mostly Shinto focused, where as Kara Tur has two Japans inspired by two historical periods, two Chinas also inspired by two historical periods, Koyro (Korea inspired), Tabot (Tibet inspired), A pre Islamic Indonesia inspired nations, a Cambodia inspired nation, a Vietnam Inspired nation, Mongol inspired nation, Siberia inspired nation, a bunch of different religions and religious variations, ect..., not just the usual fantasy Japan and China, which btw is what makes Kara Tur more then just stereotypical Asian by a "white guy" setting. I know of just 1 in the works Korean 5e type setting and zero for other Asian nations that often get over looked. There is zero other D&D Cambodian inspired setting, other zero other D&D Vietnam inspired settings, other zero other D&D Tibet inspired settings, zero Indonesian inspired D&D settings, zero other D&D Siberian settings. Only Kara Tur had the vision and the guts to go beyond the usual China and Japanese settings for D&D fans. The setting has soooo much potential. And the lead designers and writers of Kara Tur had a huge amount of respect for Asian cultures, they did not just reduce it to stuff inspired by Kung Fu movies or Anime, which could easily have happened.
