I'm part Asian, in the by laws on the forum I am allowed to make Chinese food puns right?

Works for me grass smoker grasshopper.


Funny enough, I was just thinking of a very similar type of weapon and trying to remember the post apocalyptic Anime film I saw this from.

I was wielded by a scientist that hunted mutants.

I bet Freehold DM would know the name of that series.

Katana-worship has even less to do with it.

James, I've got a ¥2000 yen spot with your name on it if you can get me the phone numbers of the two Oni ladies.

You will join the fold gaijin.


Also, try to have seven Domains, to represent the Seven Saintly Virtues.

Favored Weapon:
Longsword

A sword held with the hilt upright and blade downward is also a symbol of The True Cross, and peace.


'Lunchtime painting get-together'...

Brilliant Sean!

Over here we just call them Mass Production Sweatshops, but maybe we'll try it your way and get all these international humanitarian organizations off our backs.

I'm going to print that out and use all three panels as the outside of my GM screen when we begin our new 2nd edition campaign next month.

I am quite jealous of that.

Moro how familiar are you with 2nd ed? Would you mind leaving an email?

No one invited me to the Asian love fest !

We can use the same classes to cover every single culture anywhere but an Asian one? Really? Every other fighting culture on earth can be cover with the fighter but an Asian one can not?

Nevermind every fighting culture (on Earth or the Golarion equivalent) but in the very planes themselves.

Balor with Fighter levels; check.

Marlith with Rogue levels; check.

But on the other side of the coin:

Pit Fiend with Samurai and Ninja levels; check, check and shuuuweet!! ;)

I for one would not mind seeing Pathfinder's take on Samurai, on Spirit Folk, on the Yakuza, on Sumo wrestling, on Oni, on different martial arts styles, on the Manangal, or the Kapre, or Eastern Faiths, on Eastern philosophies, what 'masterwork' means in an Asian setting (it better not just be a +1 to hit is all I'm saying !) etc, etc ... you get the idea.

There were alternative classes in the game since 1st Eds Unearthed Arcana (even prior to that in OD&D where Druids and Rangers were among the non core classes), and those classes were taken in new directions with Oriental Adventures, so there is some well loved and respected pedigree to an Oriental flavored (and crunch) book.

It is unfortunate, but we do live in interseting times.


Yarr I be needin some time in the gym.

For me, the fascination is more or less due to Akira Kurosawa.

I think there could be more to it than that ... BUT even that statement alone can be telling. One could argue Kurosawa has a rather 'influential' following.

Well, if one counts Lucas, Spielberg, Coppola, Jackson and Tarantino influential at least.
