Message: <blockquote data-quote="gamerprinter" data-source="post: 5011795" data-attributes="member: 50895">Kaidan - my commercial home-brewOriginally, I wanted my group to playtest the Introductory mini-arc - The Gift, for my Kaidan: a Japanese Ghost Story setting, but the players were more eager to play Kaidanese locals, rather than "gaijin" westerners visiting a feudal Japan-like exotic location, as in the The Gift, 3 part adventure arc.At least, I'm getting to playtest my new classes, and altered Pathfinder classes to fit in my Asian Horror setting. The party consists of one samurai, whose lord (a vampire) is concerned with provincial security, allowing him to work closely with the local Ninja house. The rest of the party are all related family members of that same Ninja house. Though since ninja is a prestige class, none of the players qualify as of yet. All of them are duel class Shinobi (ninja rogue) and either fighter, monk or sorcerer, as per prerequisites of my ninja prestige class. Though one is opting to focus on rogue (shinobi) exclusively rather than going ninja later on.One player was supposed to join the party as a Miko (oracle), but she has missed the last three weekends of play, (boyfriend issues) so no one to playtest the Miko as yet, though the party needs one.While the setting works as an immersive oriental setting in a feudal Japan- like place (approx. 1200 - 1450 comparable historical timeline), the subtle horror elements are always in the background: undead lords of state, constant hunts for heretics (most everyone is a heretic), shape-changers everywhere, yurei ghost spirits, animated objects, the monsters and kami, etc. - in other ways its not so typical.But it's been fun so far. Can't wait to see higher level play-testing.</blockquote>
