Best Asian supplements for 3E, 3.5, and Pathfinder?


Product Discussion


I'm looking for them. First off, I am only interested in things I can get as a print copy. It does not have to actually be in print (I'm fine buying used off of Amazon or Ebay), but it does have to be a book. I don't want PDFs. Secondly, I already have Oriental Adventures, so that's out. Other stuff in that line is acceptable, but only if it isn't too connected to the Rokugan campaign setting and can easily be used outside of Rokugan. Third party publisher content is fine. Nothing from Golarion, please.

Thanks, guys.

This is the only one I know of.


Check out RiP's Kaidan products. They rock.


If you're looking for a more "fantasy" samurai, check out Mongoose Publishing's "The Quintessential Samurai". Hands down, the BEST samurai class I've seen. I plan on doing a conversion for my game to be used instead of the Pathfinder one.

Aside from that, I don't know what else to offer you.

Silver Crusade

I have a few books that might be helpful

Japanese:

"Legends of the Samurai" a hard back book by Charles rice, i think the publishing company is RPG objects. it was published in 2005. I think it is 3.0 D&D. This book purely focuses on Japan.

Chinese:

"Jade and Steel Roleplaying in Mythic China." Avalanche Press LTD published 2001. 3.0 D&D It is a slim soft cover book about the size of a pathfinder chronicles book.

Silk Road:

"A Magical Society: Silk Road" Expeditious Retreat Press product # XRP 1005. It is a 160 page soft cove book for 3.5 D&D. I am not sure when it was published

Indian:

"MindShadows" by Kevin Brennan and James Maliszewski. 2003 Green Ronin Publishing.
130 page nice soft cover book. 3.0 D&D. This is the only RP campaign source book I have found that is Indian Themed. The book is well written, and psionics are a part of the setting.

These are all physical books I have pulled off of my book shelves. I don't know if they are still in print nor how difficult it would be to get ahold of them.

I hope this helps.
