Shall I suggest that someone add a tileset of an oriental, Chinese or Japanese style city. In NWN Vault there is only rural tilesets available....

It seems that we have not one but two in the works.
Six has mentioned that he might polish up his existing east asian style city
and
Zwerkules mentioned that he was interested in creating an asia minor style city then posted a screen shot.

I don't know about Six but i think the Zwerkules city is about Arabian style....

               Six's tileset is probably what you are looking for. East Asian is what most people consider "Asian".

However "Asia" is a broad term and includes the areas conquered by the first Persian Empire.

               This should help... also what about a flute? That could be asian, elven, or bardic in use for modules, regardless of being released in the asian themed challenge. I know we have instruments on the vault, but no normal flutes.

               Why not a CCC about music, bard's stuff or arts in general?

               I have worked on some reskins of the original bioware yuanti purebloods that I could sumbit if people would be interested in them. I do believe the Yuanti are originally oriental mythos based.

I have completed the sorcerer one as well I just haven't posted pictures.

Sounds like a good theme to me :-)

Go to the Monthly CCC thread and post it:

I'm not sure they are oriental mythos. I thought they were original to Greyhawk, or at least D&D.
However, there is a definite oriental flavor to her look.
*I* think they'd be a fine... <old man, you're drooling again> Hush. ...addition to Oriental Additions. My opinion.

               True they first appeared in Greyhawk but all the creatures where originally based off certain muthos. Consider the Gorgon which is in greyhawk but it is a greek based mythos creature. There are many more examples just like that.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_henesua]

               Some of the creatures in D&D are unique to D&D. The beholder is a good example.

I believe Yuan-Ti are also unique to D&D, but were inspired by myths. There are many legends of snake people, and I think the Yuan-Ti are a novel addition to this tradition. Anyway, Wizards of the Coast thinks that it owns "Yuan-Ti" in the same manner as it now owns the Beholder which suggests to me that it was invented for the Dwellers in the Forbidden City module.

Vibrant... actually the two blades are not necessarily the best solution. One blade and one club would enable both slashing and bludgeoning damage which is a rare combination.

*frowns* *looks side-long* *grins*
I like it '>

Ok, Roly poly, I'm doing the Tessen for OAv1
I'm doing Shinobi-zue for OAv2

• "Standard" single hidden blade (staff transforms into ninjato)
• "Pen's Shinobi-zue" two blades (staff transforms into twin ninjato)
• "Hen's Teeth" blade/stick combo (staff transforms into ninjato and club)

@ Big Purple: I wanted the shield AC for the Tessen, not the Shinobi-zue. And now I can 

I love this place!

But...

Gotta run! *twinkles fingers at everyone*

               Since the yuanti are probably not oriental in nature then they would probably not be appropriate for release in this current challenge, but I was going to release them in a hak pack called OTTP which will add a bunch of the creatures never released in Neverwinter Nigts Enhanced 2 adding onto the already large amount in Project Q.

Jenna provided a link to the Monstrous Compendium for Kara-Tur in which there are also Yuan-ti.

Welcome to the Kara-Tur Appendix to the Monstrous Compendium
series. This volume describes the wondrous Oriental creatures
native to the eastern region of the Forgotten Realms.

So they are oriental creatures and appropriate for the current challenge.

I have finished one of each of the tiles needed for the city walls/ city terrain. There are no variations for any of the tiles yet, so it all looks a bit boring:

Are you sure you're not a fimble, Pen?

What Z said, C! Submit it :-)

Cool walls, Z :-)

Um, had no idea what a fimble was so I googled. Now I'm goggling @_@

fimble  n  
The male plant of hemp, which matures before the female plant.
(C15: from Middle Dutch femeel, from Old French chanvre femelle female hemp, from chanvre hemp + femelle female)

Heh, what are you smokin', Z?

Beginner's mistake. Google Images holds the answers to everything.
