This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

One minor pet peeve is how they follow Oriental Adventures in differentiating bushi from samurai.  They are the exact same thing.  In fact, the samurai preferred being called bushi, as that is the term they used for themselves.  The term samurai is more popular outside of Japan, but technically it means a servant, as in serving the nobility.  They should use another word to denote generic fighters.
Are you familiar with D&D, at all?

Basilisk, cockatrice. Gorgon, medusa. Enchanter, mage, wizard, sorcerer, conjurer... if a synonym exists, it becomes a new thing. This is the Way. Or the Path.
