j0lt 12-17-07, 06:59 AM	I've been thinking about this one for a while, and I've had a few interesting ideas, so I figured I'd post 'em up here to see what people think. The project is pretty straightforward: A d20 Past supplemental rule book based on feudal Japan (most likely focusing on the Edo period). For those who like a little fantasy mixed in with their history, I'm also working on an Urban Arcana: Japan supplement (http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=935672), where you'll be able to find creatures from traditional Japanese folklore that can be thrown into any Japanese time period without any trouble. Starting Occupations: (currently under revision)

j0lt 12-17-07, 07:01 AM	Weapons: I'm a proponent of the weapon group system found in games like Star Wars, though I'm not sure if I'll be taking this route... Simple: tanto (knife), club, kama (sickle) Swords: wakizashi (short sword), katana (long sword), nodachi (bastard sword), o-dachi (great sword) Blunt: jo (short staff), tonfa Polearms: yari (spear), naginata (glaive), bo (quarterstaff) Ranged: longbow, shortbow, teppo (arquebus) Thrown: shuriken, throwing knife Exotic: nunchaku, kusari-fundo (short chain), kusari-gama, (chain & sickle), yoroi toshi (armor-piercing blade) Armor: Light: Ashigaru (peasant foot soldier armor, usually piecemeal) Medium: O-Yoroi (leather & plate Samurai armor)
