• Jiu-Zhou - The first campaign setting entirely in Chinese! Beautiful art. Seems to have its own game system. --- Edit March 2008: As a matter of fact Jiu-Zhou is a fantasy novel series in Mainland China, and had nothing to do with Jiu-Zhou the RPG. The arts were also official arts used without permission by original creator. The site given above also had nothing to do with the system itself. The self-proclaimed title of "The first unique RPG systems ever completed in China" is also in dispute. The actual RPG system itself seems to be based on a strange alteration of 2e AD&D to the point of being barely recognizable, solely focus on combat with zero concept regarding story setting, and written in ways that practically nobody in the Asian RPG circles but the creator himself, a self-professed DND hater who ridicule any and all naysayers as "Kobolds" who "Only ever think in DND", actually understand it. The game itself had undergone many different names in almost identical ruleset including but not limit to: Jiu-Zhou, 3DH RPG, Sen-Ken(Taken from another famous Taiwanese PCRPG series with no consent), and most recently as Story of the Illuminated Land, and the creator himself had held many different names, including but not limited to 3DH人渣("3DH Scum" in Chinese. Not for any degoratory purposes, but for some reason seemed to be his preferred namesake), 人渣, ICESTONE and Planesinger in order to push his system. A shorter, slightly more coherent version of HYBRID in the Chinese circle. REAL site of the system is : here .
