Re: GURPS Hot Spots: The Silk Road
Purchased!
Under Heaven by Guy Gavriel Kay is another Silk Road novel, although the main character is travelling towards not-China instead of away from it.

Re: GURPS Hot Spots: The Silk Road
I've got some...not designer's notes as such, but some thoughts on the book posted.

Re: GURPS Hot Spots: The Silk Road
I am hoping for a follow up book with templates for clerics of the religions found along the Silk Road along with various wizards, fighters, martial artists and thieves. I also hope for a beastiary of monsters too and also treasures with some historical feel including magic items. Of course if a book like this ever happens then it would be great if there was a very strange coincidence where it is somehow comparable with the Dungeon Fantasy line.

Re: GURPS Hot Spots: The Silk Road
Just wanted to say that even though I don't have any settings set during the age of the Silk Road, I loved this particular book. Well-written and well-researched.

Re: GURPS Hot Spots: The Silk Road
Put a review on my blog
The long and short of it: A must-buy if you like history, inter-cultural exchange and/or crossovers. Might be a good buy even if you don't care much for history, but are looking for something new.

Re: GURPS Hot Spots: The Silk Road
Matt's Designer's Notes for Silk Road are available now in this month's issue of Pyramid and it isn't marketing hype when I say that they're a must-read if you enjoyed the book. You also get a poster-sized map of Central Asia, in full color, which is the kind of funky "bonus content" that we like to throw into Pyramid. I talk more about both in the Pyramid announcement thread.

Re: GURPS Hot Spots: The Silk Road
What kinds of undead would be found on the Silk Road? Would each culture have their own different types?
