PnP D&D game set in fantasy China

I've been running one campaign (in the Planescape setting) for several years now, but it's about to wind to a close (my players are hitting epic levels, which is a bit silly, and they've also managed to screw things up so badly they're threatening the destruction of the entire multiverse, but that's a long story), so I want to start a new one. I've previously done a D&D campaign set in fantasy Arabian Nights, and another in semi-historical Imperial Rome.

Now, I got inspired by my reading up on Chinese history, so naturally I thought it might be cool to try something like it. I like to roll up my own settings and scenarios, but avoid house rules (too complicated and hard to remember). So I just wrote this as a starting point:

Any comments? Cool sources to look at? Suggestions?

*Edit* Just realized how outdated that is. Still, it might be good for ideas/inspiration.

Looks well designed to me.

The only wish I had, when being a player, would be: That I can choose the Monkey God as my deity.

By the way that "Godchecker"-Site seems to be quite interesting.You can search for a god, even buy and sell gods and so on….

Edit: For our resident twitter fans: You can even follow the gods by twitter there…so twitter *is* useful at last

I've got the even more outdated one, the AD&D version. I'll probably check if our neighboring RPG shop happens to have that one, though.

Are you looking for players ?
I might be interested

If you're willing to relocate to Helsinki, you'd be more than welcome in the group -- but this is an offline, face-to-face game.

Hmmmm.... That makes things more difficult ...
Well, the best of luck. Looks like a very interesting and different setting than the usual, so it should be fun

In case anyone's interested, here's a campaign background and a list of adventure hooks for the setting. Some of the hooks might be useful for other types of campaigns as well; if you're running a PnP campaign and are looking for ideas, feel free to crib. That's what I do.

(Oh, and, on the unlikely chance that someone from my group — you know who you are — is reading, please don't read the adventure hooks — they might spoil things.)
