StrangerThings,

Great post. I'm buying the Kindered of the East bundle off of DriveThruRPG.com after reading it. I'll try to help out the best I can, but I'm honestly the weakest on the Kindred of the East. However I'm a fast reader when I've got the motivation and sleep. I like the Kui Jin vastly more than the Licks because they want redemption and they called it, "Cowardly dogs ripped their own balls off."

Right off the bat I would suggest using some themes from "Shadowrun 5th", especially for it's gun fu adept and adept abilities. Since you like Anime, I would try getting some gun bunnies from "Big Eyes Small Mouth." BESM would help tone it down and keep it comical, Shadowrun would give it some Gothic crime aspects and take care of your groups Chinese mega corporations, king fu, and gun fu needs. That triple system right there seems like Jet Li "Blade" vampires in the making to me.

I'll focus my book reviews on the Kindred of the East since I know the least about them. When I come up with something more conclusive I'll post more. If anyone's curious how the hell I have so much disposable income, it's because I'm good at saving money. It was between blogging for two to three months straight or getting drunk on a cruise for a few weeks. For less than $600 I got my childhood and stress free teaching methods backs. For about $1,500-$70,000, I could get shwasted on a big boat with middle class and rich people once. Do the cost analysis. $600 to help 7 billion people as long as I have a functioning Internet connection, or $1,500 to get drunk on a big boat for the weekend?

Thanks for the post StrangerThings,
