[QUOTE="shadow, post: 852214, member: 2182"] Well my homebrew that I'm still developing is very Western Medieval. I figure if I want to do fantasy Asia, I'll do historical Asia with a touch of magic, not Rokugan. However, I do have a few distant areas in my campaign that deviate from the Western European norm: 1. Naðor-A frozen kingdom located (literally) at the ends of the earth. The inhabitants are a hardy race of men (loosely) based on Scandinavian cultures as well as tribes of "barbarians" which are (very loosely) based on Inuit and native Siberian cultures 2. A desert kingdom which I haven't named yet-It's kind of a cross between Arabian and Spanish culture (kind of like Moorish Spain). The land contains some of the biggest cities of the world as well as riches and decadence. 3. The Lands of the East-Very mysterious oriental kingdoms. Because they are seperated from the main continent by thousands of miles of wasteland, there is little contact between the Lands of the East and the West. Travelers who have been there describe a very "exotic" and different culture. Unlike the West, where magic is feared and despised, it is practically venerated in the East. Unlike the main religion of the West, a monotheistic church, the people of the East practice a animistic and transendental religion. (Although this sounds kind of like fantasy Asia, it is NOT Oriental Adventures. Players can not play Samurai and Ninja from the East. In fact, I don't plan on players going to the "Lands of the East" in my campaign. I don't really have them developed much. They exist mainly for an explanation for the origin of many of the magics and magic items in my campaign.) [/QUOTE]
