If the new Bin’Fa is to include a campaign, that means that I have to have a compelling story to drive the choices and changes that take place over the course of the games. To this end, I am reading several books on Chinese history and mythology.
The mythology is likely more important element. The China that will be the backdrop of the campaign will not be the historical China; it will be a mythological version of China in the Spring and Autumn Period. The Jade Emperor will be a real, extant being exerting pressure on the would-be rulers; the lung (Chinese dragons) will be there; and so on.
China has a wealth of mythological tales from which to draw inspiration! So tell me… what Chinese myths and stories would you like to see as a part of the campaign?
