From its original roots in the “Fantasy Supple- ment” to CHAINMAIL Medieval Miniatures Rules, the AD&D {game grew to encompass a growing, changing, expanding fan- tasy multiverse. Other planes of existence than our own are dealt with, albeit rather cursorily. New classes of adventurer have been ‘added, along with magic, monsters, and much else. Despite the {growth and change, a whole segment of historically based mate- ‘ial has been neglected ‘CHAINMAIL dealt principally with European and Near Eastern history, and the same is true of the fantasy elements included in the work. When the DUNGEONS & DRAGONS* game system was envisioned and created, it relied very heavily upon the former work, medieval European history, and mythos and myth ‘most commonly available to its authors. Thus, D&D* gaming fol lowed CHAINMAIL, and AD&D gaming followed after the D&D ‘game. in its early development, the D&D game was supple- ‘mented by various booklets, and in one of these the monk, inspired by Brian Blume and the book series called The Destroyer, was appended to the characters playable. So too was this cobbled-together martial ats specialist placed into the AD&D ‘game system, even as it was being removed trom the D&D game. ‘in my opinion, the point certainly went to the DUNGEONS & DRAGONS game players! What's this? Is the creator of this whole system about to state that Oriental character-types are unsuitable adventurers? Never! ‘The fact of the matteris hat the admixture of Occident and Orient was an unsuitable combination. The games stressed a European historical base and mythology. Even though the AD&D game ‘monster roster ranges far afield, itis still of basically European flavor. The whole of these game systems are Occidental in ‘approach, not Oriental—at least natin the sense of what is known, a the Far East: China, Korea, Japan, and Mongolia, ‘The year 1980 had not arrived when I began thinking about a version of the ADD game that would feature Oriental campaigns land characters. Good intentions aside, it has taken this long to hieve the desired goal, and enlisted the talents of both David "Zeb" Cook and Francois Marcela-Froideval in order to arrive a8 early as 1985, Because the game system has changed over the intervening years, the exact nature of the approach taken herein diflers from that which was originally envisioned. | am convinced that the alteration is forthe better, and as you partake of the infor- ‘mation herein, and put into play, lam as certain you will concur. Oriental Adventures is a completely new resource for the AD&D ‘game system. As you develop your Oriental Adventures cam- Paign, it is recommended that you remove the monk character class from the European-type campaigns. Why? Because what is found herein is superior and in the proper surroundings as well! Oriental Adventures covers the classes of adventurers, weap- fons, armor, spells, magic, and even the special monsters that ‘make the legend and myth of the Far East so rich and varied. Now itis possible to place the monk, for example, in the proper setting, a place where he will encounter samurai and sohei, combat spirit creatures, deal with bushi and wu jen. Of course, schools of fight ing are covered. So are the differences in weapons between China, Japan, and so on. Culture is also stressed. Honor, dignity, ‘raining in social graces and ceremonies are as important 10 adventurers in this milieu as are experience points and magical ‘treasure. Think about that for a moment. Im fact, this new book is aimed at providing players and Dungeon Masters with the material they need to develop the “other half” of their fantasy world, the Oriental portion. Once this hhas been accomplished, it will be possible for adventurers to roam the whole world, those from the Occident marveling over ‘the mysteries of the East, while brave characters from the Orient journey to the West toleam about the strange and incredible lore ‘which that land holds. Similarities will certainly serve to highlight the vast differences. The purpose of Oriental Adventures is to bring a new facet to the overall game. It offers what is essentially a whole new world {or development of different AD&D game campaigns. The mechanics and rules are basically the same. How could they be different? We are all humans. The professions are fairly similar, but different enough to be exotic. One the exotic becomes mun: dane, the time has arrived for cross-cultural adventuring. This single volume brings you not only the word of the Far East, but ‘also the meeting of East and West when the fuliness of time war- rants such contact. Oriental Adventures isa landmark work in the game system. it brings not only new information; this book adds a whole new ‘world. As such, this is a wonderful event that brings enthusiasts the best of two worlds...lterally. So with the broad concepts behind the volume understood, itis high time to stop wasting time upon a Foreword. Sit down, put your feet up, and prepare to enjoy ‘yourself thoroughly as you read allthe new material, and note the ‘similarities 100, in Oriental Adventures, the latest addition to the ‘AD&D game system. One more thing: Don’t spend too much ime merely reading. The best part of this work s the play, so play and enjoy! Gary Gygax ‘September, 1985Introductions tis with great pleasure that | writ this For one thing, I fnally have the chance to introduce new readers and ‘gamers toa longtime fascination of mine—the Orient The Orentis chin ‘arity and dversifetion. Though there are similares among ts many lands, each land has its own unique outlook and syle. Thies part of what ‘makes the Orient mysterious and exciting—the exploration ana discovery ‘of ently ditferont cultures. Thus, the Oriental Adventures book is broad In scope—it does not restrict itself toa single country or time period. Pre- sented here is material drawn from Japan, China. Korea, Mongolia, Southeast Asia, and the Phiippines. The historical periods that provi inspration are equally broad—Heian, Kamakure, Sengoku, and Toku- {gawa Japan, Han, T'ang, Sung, and Ming China; ancient Korea; even the Mongo! invasions. “The second pleasure in writing this comes from the reacing | had to do {oprepare. The Oriental Adventures project spurred me to read materials would otherwise never have seen. Some oft was thing and some nt ‘The vanety of topics was huge—iegends, folktales, iterary epics, gon logical histories, philosophy, religion, posty, architecture, land manage- ‘ment, government. istry, marval an, sociology, anthropology, miltary atfairs, economics, ad fion. The bulk o this materal deals with Japan, ‘with China a close second. This is not due to any oversight. Most of the ‘aterial avaiable deals with Japan, through the choice ol vatious writers. From the standpoint of gaming, Japan's history and cutture provises ‘eater opportunities for adventure and advancement. Alnough often S0en as a rigid society, Japan has had several periods of tumultuous Uupheavel where a person ofany rank could make his ame—the Sengoku period or the collapse ofthe Hetan government being only two. Of course, ‘anyone who looks careully at China wil find the same occurred there. However, fewer people cared to write about i ‘Thicly, tis a great pleasure to write this because | get to ipinto anew ‘challenge. In preparing Oriental Adventures, there were many goals 10 ‘meet. Foremost ofthese was the interesting but conficting demands of Pistoreal accuracy and fantastic imagination. There i very lite point in doing a book about Oriental culture if the materal i not accurate, But ‘accuracy can offen be unplayable or just unacceptable. Accuracy here ‘would mean stricter cass structures, ess chance for payer advancement ‘and less adventure. it would mean more Nady rues for ite details that ‘would gt inthe way of play. And rules that might apply to @ Japanese cut {ure would certainly be incorect na stit Chinese culture! Furthermore, ‘he world presented had tobe what people think the Orient is, not neces: ‘arly whatit actualy is. Thus, retrence works and sources ofideas went ‘beyond books and included popular Japanese movies about samurai and ia, the whole family of Hong Kong kung-fu movies, comics, and even those endearing monster epics of giant pti and funny dinosaurs. FFourthy, th Orintal Adventures book allowed me to create the lrame- workot anew worid—KaracTur Throughout these pages are references to {he lands of KaraTur—-Shou Lung, TiLung, Kezakura, and more.
