Oriental Adventures (Advanced Dungeons Dragons) Reviews
-
Woke up, got laid and later found this book at one of those Little Free Library boxes in my neighborhood. I'm living in the geeksta's paradise!!!
-
Nice reference book for an alternate cultural setting for you campaigns. Good source material and well laid out. Recommended for gamers
-
One of the most beautiful references, particularly in the area of layout and consistent interior art. As if they had one artist do the arms, and another do the rest. This was a must have book that generated excitement for the game. So why not five stars? Alas, I no longer refer to it for game ideas.
-
good read at the time haven't read it in a while.

One of the First edition books that I have "in general" incorporated into my 2nd edition campaign. I still enjoy D&D after all these years (I started back in 1978) and have played as player and Dungeon Master. I really wasn't taken by the later editions (3 and beyond). I've recently started another game....but went back to 2nd edition (tracking down books at used book stores). This is an interesting book and some of the characters I like well enough to use in my own game. I don't use the actual setting, but the characters (like the monk who is already in the general game) can work fairly well with just a little work.

My friends and I played the hell out of this when we were younger.
-
Definitely a gateway into oriental weapons and culture, along with Japanese and Chinese mythology.
-
A great and abundant reference to another culture, and being slapped in next to Forgotten Realms allows even more ease of access. Just don't let all those overpowered martial-arts master kensais into Waterdeep.

I’ve just reread it again after decades since I’ve first played it, and it’s still holding up. As an oriental setting I prefer Legend of the Five Rings now, but within D&D, this is as good as it gets.

I LOVE NINJAS!
