Jan 20, 2009 19:49:04 Why do I think that stone age would trump oriental? Call me crazy, but isn't the whole point of an oriental campaign based around a culture rather than a location or population? A stone age culture is pretty much the same no matter where you place it, isn't it?

Jan 21, 2009 3:07:17 For stone-age Japan, you'd be looking at jomon / yayoi cultures. But really, there isn't anyting that would striek you as distinctly oriental about those two cultures. Except for subtle skin colour / eye shape / body shape issues, they were pretty much the same as any other stone age culture worldwide.
