I also really love Ruins & Ronin, so far it's my favorite OSR produced product that I have bought.The Great Khanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18342783210750664992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5384121608336516305.post-32780352317851160772011-10-01T21:57:36.425-04:002011-10-01T21:57:36.425-04:00Using Village of Hommlet in an Oriental setting is...Using Village of Hommlet in an Oriental setting is a really good idea, especially when there's a real sense of a rural and peasant community which should be prevalent in feudal-japan style setting. Nice one. I never managed to buy the follow-up modules to VoH (or T1-4) so I can't help you with the names - but Hommlet became an important village between a the capitol city of my campaign and most of the remote ruins which hid local dungeons.<br />Bushi of the Flaming Eye? <br />Btw, there's a Japanese option in this name generator <br />http://www.rinkworks.com/namegen/<br />, but I'd stick to abstracted nouns for actual places - Black Dragon Pass, Red Ghost Woods. Feathered Hills. Poetic oxymorons may work in oriental settings: The Gentle Fort, Butcher's Love, Cave of Hard Dreams, Blossom Blade Marsh ... <br />Hmm, maybe I've just gone mad. Too many haikus before bedtime. <br /> I'm very taken by Ruins & Ronin at the moment. Red Goblins haunt me. I think if I ever ran an oriental campaign I would use those lovely and simple rules but import the honour system from OA. <br />Thanks for the inspirations! :)Billiam Babblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11504438538787804477noreply@blogger.com
