Lord Liaden Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 Re: China Primer Well, since we're looking at this with a gamer's slant I'd recommend starting with the excellent WuXia HERO website. In particular, the "Resources" link will lead you to a number of websites with information on these topics. For Chinese mythology, the appropriate section of the Encyclopedia Mythica would probably be useful. That's all I can come up with at the moment. I hope it's helpful.

keithcurtis Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 Re: China Primer A really good travel guide can be helpful. Most of them have a section on culural differences, common phrases, standard of living, etc. OTOH, if it were me, I'd just ignore a lot of his background. I'm not a WWII buff, for instance, but several of my players are. If they wanted to play a WWII-based character, I'd let them know up front that I would be using very little of their background. The potential for constant correction and display of ignorance is too great. Keith "Wo bu hwei" Curtis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
