But how about a Japan Supplement and what it could include?

Yakuza, demon quellers, Samurai, Sohei, Blind Massage Therapist sword masters! More Ninjas! Japanese Robo Samurai ect.

I mean tons of good Chanbarra Flicks, such as the lone wolf and cub, most things by Akira Kurasawa, Zatoichi, Sleepy eyes of Death, Lady Snow Blood, to the very adult oriented Hanzo the razor (And I mean very adult here). But some how get that worked into a supplement for a 1850's and contemporary.

Me personally its about the Ninjas and Samurai. I mean heck, there could be a whole supplement on just Ninjas with as many good/bad ninja flicks that were made.

Ninjas Could get fun schtick of : Disappear/Appear from Shadows or soemthign like that.

Thoughts?

I was going to do a whole new post but this sort of relates to the last post.

Speaking of Ninjas, how do you handle sneaking up on people in the game?

I can't really seem to find it spelled right out, looking at the gun schtick hair trigger neck hairs. I guess its a Per check vs something but what?  Intrusion?  I figure the Ninja would be good at this...

What I do in my games, is do intrusion vs the targets perception/police/detective/investigation skill or ability that relates to being paranoid or having skill looking out for soemthing (I think I also allowed Old Vietnam Vet Info to have some one be parnoid enough to look out for an incoming ambush). what ever works ot make the game fun.

Also, it never hurts to have the PCs assasinate or Buffallo (knocking out)the unamed mooks, it adds to the game.

now named character are different because unlike most other rpgs, Fengshui is about action!! So you have the ninja that suppose to assasinate soemone, make him work for it. but even assasinating a named character is tough to do in one attack, even with the 0 passive dodge. you have to do 35 + the named armor + a little extra to get a good chance at killing a named.

Ninja obviously invest in the shadow/darkness fu path. That lets them see in the dark, pull out dark-knives, and I forget what else. I don't remember if there's a "merge with shadows" ability there...

For a master samurai, I think a Killer using melee weapons but with Gun Schticks might be appropriate, as described in Golden Comeback. That would let you create a swordsman with levels in Carnival of Carnage, able to quickly slice through horde of underlings.

I've been itching to do a Patlabor-style scenario in 2056. I suppose you could replace 2056 with a mecha-heavy juncture... powersuits a la Bubblegum Crisis or a Robotech/Gundam-style military space opera.

Space Opera is also a genre that, other than the Star Wars conversions, hasn't really been given the Feng Shui treatment. However, there are some wrinkles to work out... how to you handle Feng Shui sites in outer space or on other planets? Would aliens be supernatural creatures (and vulnerable to Summoning sorcery)? Do the vehicle/chase rules have to be reworked for large-scale mecha combat?
