Now, picture two people who both had all the D&D 2E books, two almost full sets of WOD books, one and a half sets of 3E books and multiple misc 1E books......and various other things such as 2E box sets, Marvel Universe box sets, Con X, SLA Ind., etc. etc.
We packed and moved it all by ourselves...into an upstairs apartment...in the Claifornia summertime. We are not moving for a VERY long time. And when we do you are all more than welcome to come help us for pizza and ale. :) |
Huzzah! |

I'm still trying to come up with a good reason to side track my PCs to Shou Lung, if only to say that they have been there. I like Shou Lung. The funny thing is, before the first book of the Empires trilogy I liked Kozakura much better, but for some reason I really enjoyed the nation after reading a book there.
They aren't standard Realmslore, but I did like the Empires Trilogy, especially when compared to the sister trilogy that explored Maztica (which, ironcally, the players have shown more interest in exploring). |

Huh? Kozakura wasn't in the Empires triogy... Shou Lung was, but not Kozakura. I don't think it was even mentioned...
And why do you say it's not standard Realmslore?
Oh, and Kianna: I did it in the Florida summer. I've done California summers, and it's a lot better than a Florida summer... |

Well met
I believe the emissary dispatched to meet with Yamun Kahan was from Kozakura (I don't recall his name, however) |

Humidity and moving don't mix, for sure.
So I guess the main consensus is no Kara-Tur source books. Which is a shame because I was flipping thoguh my 2E stuff and its really really sadly lacking in detail. |

| Sorry Wooly, let me explain. Based only on the sourcebooks, my early inclination was to favor Kozakura as a setting, but upon reading about Shou Lung in a novel, it caught my imagination. I didn't mean to imply that Kozakura had made an appearance there. Sorry for the confusion. |

Because, like me, you two wanted the hard copies because reading online makes your eyes bleed. :)
Which I became painfully aware of while reading your NPC list and Ed's answers! ...I just couldn't quit reading.
Muh haha. :) |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird
