🎲🐲 Why Oriental Adventures Feels So Different from the Rest of AD&D

TSR's 8th hardback book was also the second book published in 1985 - the first time they published two hardbacks in the same year. It was a rushed job partially to help get the company's finances back on track, and it became the best selling TSR product that year. I talk about the context of American and Asian culture at the time of the book was developed, as well as its legacy on the future of the game of Dungeons & Dragons.
