[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 7638992, member: 6802378"] Asian isn't only Japan, of course, but in the industry of the speculative fiction ( = fantasy + sci-fi) Japan is the main market. South Korea is also a big fish. We have to make a difference between Chinese people and Chinese government. Maybe a 3rd party could sell an Oriental Adventures setting in Taiwan without troubles, and even may become very popular, but in the Continent would be different. We aren't here to talk about statecraft, but we can about the Chinese censorship as a menace for the industry of the entertainment and the genre of speculative fiction. If China says they don't want gay characters in the new She-ra cartoon, then you can bet all the characters will become straight. * Third party companies from non-English countries could publish setting inspired in their own folklore, but the market of the table-RPGs are too small to create a blockbuster. These franchises should have a better future like novels, comics or videogames. And you should remember in the rest of the world the teenages aren't so rich to buy books with a prizeof 35-50 $. With that money they would rather to buy videogames. * You shouldn't forget the rich folklore from Latin-Mediterranean countries, with lots of creatures and feys. [/QUOTE]
