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.

Title: Warlords
System: d4-d4
Synopsis: China in the 1920s is divided between several warlords and foreign powers, some of whom claim to want the best for the people. Nowhere is this division and mixing better shown than in Shanghai - pearl and swine of the Orient.

I was actually going to write a sourcebook for d4-d4 on China in the warlord period... but the task was just too big, and the writer too ignorant... :(
