The more I develope the Archean themed campaign, the more cool ideas I am coming up with. I've always wanted to incorporate a game not centered on Japanese culture, but influenced with their presence in the gaming world.

Although I don't require historic events to trigger ideas in my world, reflecting historical events and conditions can help. I just found something that makes the idea machine starting to flow...

I was just reading on Wikipedia, about the Red Seal Ships of the Shogunate from 1604 to 1635. These were officially chartered merchant craft that had the protection of the Shogunate, should any of them be assaulted by a foreign power.

What if a pirate ship from Cleod, were to assault an oriental vessel, that was in fact under a similar charter protection from a Japan-like Shogunate government in the orient south of Archea. This could initiate a war between the Trade League and the Army/Navy of the Imperial Shogunate. Say 500 Japanese armed merchantmen and warships were to invade the Archea region with say 5,000 troops as well. Bands of samurai could be roaming the countryside.

Japanese warriors in Archea, sounds like an interesting concept!

Thoughts?

Sounds like a multi-module campaign for high level chars who own ships. Cool idea.
