What do you think of that guy?

If the game is D&D I don't give a shit because its a fantasy kitchen-sink hodgepodge and kung fu is literally a core class.

If its European historical game or explictly European fantasy [like Arc Magica] then just play a Saracen like a normal person if you want to be exotic and foreign.

Why not. That crazy ass monk walked the entire silk road to bring silk to europe. He could probably find a way.

Obviously you goofed in by not playing a wild west setting with samurai because that works a lot better. Time periods coincide with the end of the samurai epoch so it's a recipe for delight.

All of this. Look, burgers, literally everywhere else in the world is racist as fuck. It's just you fat fucks trying to make yourselves feel all elitist and superior and being "above" being racist. You aren't superior to us at all; you're just overcompensating for feeling guilty about it.

Get over yourselves and starting opening hate people who aren't like you. It's human nature, and you might as well cut out half the drama from what passes for your culture by accepting it and making it normal and "friendly", rather than shitting yourselves every time somebody calls someone a spic, jap, or whatever.

>>54996299
Polak is the Polish word for Pole but treated as an insult in America through added negative connotations based on stereotypes about Polish immigrants when used by non-Polish speakers.

In a far amount of cases the original negative stereotypes of various racial slurs have been forgotten or inverted. In other cases the negative stereotypes have either been maintained, evolved or new stereotypes have developed.

Calling someone from Pakistan Paki is pretty meaningless unless someone knows the implied negative stereotype.

>>54996587
Jap and Nip have pretty much lost all their negative connotations and the only reason they are still considered racial slurs is due to the knowledge that they were WW2 era racial slurs.

Yank(ee) is similar you needed to add a "fat ass" in order to make it an insult instead of a slang residential identifier.

Well if you've already got Spain, the only reason to throw in Portugal is as a counterweight power since notPortugal would essentially be notSpain in every way, from similar culture to advanced degrees of cuntishness.

Huh, that's kind of hard to unpack. I'll freely admit that my !Spain really only pays homage to certain aesthetics I liked.

>It's a theocratic nation where the !catholic religion is based on a sea diety
>The areas in land were more agrarian and had a religion that was blended into the !chatholic religion when the original 7 Kings went out to unify the country and one of them married into one of the friendlier tribes
>They are very conservative sorts who are big on family and honor and will just as soon stab you for looking at their sisters/wives the wrong way as try and fuck another dudes wife and/or sister.
>Being a theocracy the church is heavily involved in most aspects of life as well as science and education (and sense it was made for a DnD setting they have more clerics and paladins than wizards)

So I guess whatever would be my !portugel would be small but not easily pushed over and culturally similar but cuntish in their own insufferable way?
>>
>>54997002
There's a big difference between finding a culture fascinating it and fetishizing it. There's nothing wrong with reading up on and including details of a relevant culture in a game to flesh out the world. But there is with obsessing over one to the point where you're trying to insert it into settings where it doesn't belong.
>>

Keep Samurai where they belong - Asian medieval fantasy, Wuxia, the Wild West, Cyberpunk, sci-fi, Superhero settings, and generic kitchen sink fantasy like D&D.

>>54996685
Polish American guy here.
Polak might have been a slur a hundred years ago, but it's always been the type of slur that makes you look like an idiot for using it as a slur. It's the kind of thing where it's actually hard to get offended by it even if someone is really trying to offend you.

This. Fae are a far better Western analog of yokai than demons, and in a lot of cases a better analog of kami than pagan gods. The terms fairy and elf picked up so much baggage from the Romantic Period on, it's not immediate obvious, but if you go back to the old mythology it's a lot more obvious their variety of powers, motivations, and roles correspond.

Not really. The fae have more esoteric rules than classical angels and demons. They're also harder to petition.

And unlike occultism demons, they aren't governors of powerful forcers. Occultism demons govern shipwreck, presidencies, ambassadorships to Britain, and so on. Fae mostly hang out in brughs and fuck people over.

Shut him down because katanas are a highly specialized weapon that are only useful in very specific fights while most Western swords are designed to have as many ways to attack your opponent as possible.
>>
>>54998244

He said he likes to play Samurai. Assuming D&D, that samurai would be able to fight with katana, all kinds of pole weapons, bows, etc easily.

In Riddle of Steel, most fighting would be blossfecthen anyway, so you end up with the amusing red/red situations where the rapier fighter with his longer reach and deadly thrusts gets gutted while impaling the samsam with his sword.

As to "why rapier", well, katanas were a lot like them in terms of the situations you found them in, assuming by "rapier" you understand I mean clothes-swords.

This game is really weird and doesn't even try to hide the sex appeal. I mean, hell, as mentioned before the British Ambassador to Japan is a 14 year old girl named Laura Lita. It's really stupid, and the gameplay makes no fucking sense half the time, but I guess you could pirate it or something.

Saber's probably an even closer metaphor. At the end of the day, the katana is just the epee-style courtly sidearm evolution of Japan's traditional cavalry saber.

I usually feel the same. If someone wants to have their PC hail from a land far removed from the start of the plot I want backstory darn it.

Grunts mostly had straightswords or the wakizashi as a sort of dirk. The tachi was developed specifically as a cavalry saber, and also a badge of status, in mid-Heian, and while it also saw sometimes use by dismounted men-at-arms it was never really a general issue thing; and then the katana is a smaller, lighter tachi hung in such a way as to discourage quick access in combat.

Not straight sword, but cheap mass-produced katana known as Kazu-uchi mono.

Eh.

Wanting to play a stranger in a strange land isn't a problem. If it becomes clear that they're only doing it out of weeabooism, it's a little grating, but the underlying idea is one that has formed the underpinnings of fantasy fiction and thus TTRPGs. If I tried to list all the early fantasy novels that were about being thrust into a strange culture with strange people I'd soon hit the word count.

It of course helps that my group play a lot of WHFR and there's actually place called Nippon in that setting. That said, I'd at the very least like a good explanation for how said samurai ended up in Fantasy Europe.

Jap is racist because of its history you dumb fuck. That's why some words are racist. Jap was used by westerners in an insulting and degrading way.

where did this meme come from? Since when does "fantasy" mean a rigid set of rules where you HAVE to play on not-middle earth?
When did fantasy become such a rigid set of rules?

Why should I be so respectful of a people that despises all foreigners?

>>54995680
wut, shortening "japanese" to "jap" is offensive?

-t. non-english language, where this is standard verbal practice

Hell, I played an Elven Samurai in a Forgotten Realms campaign. He set sail from some Elven islands off the coast of Faerun (forget which ones now), heading east instead of west, and ended up in Kara-Tur first.

I assume that we are playing some type of fantasy game where it makes sense to have close to human forest spirits.

She better bring her huge oni gunner as well.

Let him. Katanas fair kind of poorly against iron and steel armor, so he'll either ragequit or try something different like an archer samurai or use a polearm.

i just their figured "European Samurai" were a given, just like how there is kung fu western monks in Dnd and French ninjas in Pokemon.

There's probably Japanese knights as and Rogues and as well.

IF YOUR SAMURAI ARE WEARING PLATE ARMOR IT ISN'T MIDDLE AGES ANYMORE

Please tell me none of you dumbasses in this thread think pic related is a medieval knight.

So, a Samurai?

Samurai were archers and pole weapon wielders.

If Marco Polo could schlepp all the way to Asia and hang out with Kublai Khan, I see no particular reason why some Sun Wukong-looking motherfucker couldn't make the same trip in reverse.

It's completely fine if their backstory supports it and they do a good job of playing a foreigner.

Generally they won't, though.

In America it's moderately disrespectful. I couldn't tell you exactly why but it's probably something to do with old WWII propaganda

It's a hodgepodge mix of armors. There's a cuirasse, lamellar armor, splint armor, and mail and plate. Under it the wearer would wear different silk clothing acting like a gambeson. It would be difficult to mix more types of armor.
