[QUOTE="Shoe, post: 5165712, member: 89612"] I have always run games in a classic fantasy setting and want to try and broaden my horizons. I have greated a pretty cool asian campaign setting, I just need a good story. I based the nations of the asian themed continent on my homebrew world on the story of the chineese zodiac. each of the nations was founded by the ancestors of the original zodiac race that got each creature on the chineese calendar. Cats and the Tibbet race from the Dragon compendium #1 are hunted and killed as they are usually thieves and assassins, trying to take out the Rat Emperor (who is not a nezumi, but most of the people in the rat nation are, some are human). The nations have racial breakdowns as follows. [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri][COLOR=white]Rat [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri][COLOR=white]Humans and Nezumi (OA)[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri][COLOR=white]This nation houses the emperor[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri][COLOR=white]Ox [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri][COLOR=white]Krynn Minotaur (DLCS)[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri][COLOR=white]Tiger [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri][COLOR=white]Humans[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri][COLOR=white]NPC race - Natural weretiger [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri][COLOR=white]Rabbit [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri][COLOR=white]Korobokuru (Modified to match Japanese myth more, they are actualy closer to halflings than dwarves)[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri][COLOR=white]Dragon [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri][COLOR=white]Humans (some are able to be sorcerers..i disallow sorcerers in mosto f my campaigns) [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri][COLOR=white]Snake [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri][COLOR=white]Greensnake Naga (OA) [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri][COLOR=white]Horse [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri][COLOR=white]Human[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri][COLOR=white]Centaur (NPC) [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri][COLOR=white]Goat [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri][COLOR=white]Human[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri][COLOR=white]Monkey [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri][COLOR=white]That monkey race from OA [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri][COLOR=white]Rooster [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri][COLOR=white]Humans[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri][COLOR=white]Dog [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri][COLOR=white]Humans [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3][COLOR=white]Pig[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] Humans There might be more, but I am at work and thats all i remember. The creation myth is the race that is described in the chineese zodiac. My friend who also runs in this world has set up a governmental system with the emperor and Samurai and the like. I dont really know where to go from here. My wife and I watch Avatar: the last airbender and I have been trying to look to it and kung fu movies for inspiraion, but I am not sure how to roleplay an asian setting well and Im not sure how to make the adventure different enough so that it definitively has an asian theme. any ideas...exspecially from people who have run alot of OA type games. Even L5R stuff may help thanks, Shoe [/QUOTE]
