Have any of you added Rokugan into your world of Oerth? If you have, where did you place the empire on your map and how did you possibly link it with the Flanaess politics? I added it into our realm of gaming east of the Flanaess without political links thus far. I did similiar to that with the Al Qadim campaign adding it to the western side of the Flanaess back in the days when it was popular.

One of the regulars in Greytalk, Dethalion, has a really cool take on the placement and conversion of Rokugan to Oerth. He doesn't post here though, unfortunately, so you'll have to catch up with him in the chat.

I have. I placed in on the "Nippon Dominion" section on the Greyhawk world map. The shape of the area is a wonderful fit. I find Rokugan a tremendous match for Oerth. Power levels seem about right, lots of shades of grey morality wise. As Rokugan is so insular and isolated, I think contact is a very rare thing. There are Gaijin in Rokugan. The Empire knows "white" looking folk exist (e.g. Alejandro the Explosives Master), but contact is extremely rare. But as all of the troubles in recent times in both places might well act as a catalyst, I would think interaction is more likely now than in the past.
