3.0 out of 5 stars
A mediocre supplement, April 25, 2002
This review is from: Jade & Steel: Role-Playing In Mythic China (Mass Market Paperback)
On the overall, Jade and Steel is not bad, but remains a deceiving d20 game supplement. The layout is mediocre, and most illustrations are photos which have got filter work with photoshop (or similar). There are some descriptions of ancient China, its religion and philosophy, etc., but you can get more of this with many a good history book. There are six new (more or less interesting) prestige classes, but if you have the Oriental Adventures book, you already have enough. Then, there is a scenario for 11th-14th level characters.
My opinion is, that if you intent to play an Oriental Adventure campaign set in a land more similar to ancient China rather than Rokugan, you may buy this supplement. However, you cannot base your setting on this booklet only.
