The Romance of the River Kingdoms

Very nice picture!

It's from this thread, so swipe it I did. He's got some other Asia-inspired works on there that aren't too obviously just samurai, which I may use at point as well.

In the IC, I'm sorta waiting to see if there's someone Shakou can flank with or move to prep for a charge next round as a Fnoi Tiger. I think that might be mildly demoralizing to a group of thugs, seeing half the group transform and maul them, lol

Edit: And, as I mentioned earlier, Simon, I'd be very interested in a Spirit Bloodline based on furthering Shakou's shapeshifting abilities.

Re: the discussion in IC, I think they got a bit hung up on "squares" in 3.5 compared to 3.0, this strikes me as a bit daft - they're useful tools for determining position, and quite useful on PbP, but as far as I'm concerned, a 30 ft. move is a 30 ft. move and doesn't require breaking down into "squares". Just so y'all know. I like to try to keep things by the book because I like seeing how far the d20 rules can be pushed, but I prefer free-roving combat to a game of chess!

And for those of you who haven't yet noticed, I've put in some character portrait requests in this thread. You might want to take a look and advise on your ideas of your character. Shakou, Mystal and Three Flowers are up so far.

So, does this mean Shakou can charge along a diagonal in your game? I wanna make sure I did not get your overall message confused. Nevermind, saw your post in the IC

I hadn't noticed. Do you need me in there for anything in particular, or was my description/image enough?

No, just in case you wanted to suggest any changes to the artists for concepts that hadn't come through in the description.

 

[Theroc]

I'll check it out sometime then.

Are the combat maps of Shading Willow Court working for people? They look fine to me but I used a different computer today and it looked terrible, with all the squares misaligned and squashed.

Sometimes they look a little off, but there's good enough for me to have a pretty good general idea.

Though I am rather confused which of the thugs is the leader. One post you had the leader engage Three Flowers(who got skewered), then the next it seemed like you had Shakou pounce the leader... and I thought Shakou attacked a thug different than TF's target. So far that's the most confusion I've had.

That part confused me too. Other then that, it's all clear. And never a glitch with the map. Try firefox if you're using IE. IE uses non-standard box-model in which panels on the page misalign sometimes...
