So this weekend I got my review copy of Yoon-Suin. I've got such a backlog of review books right now that it might get to be as long as six months before I can post a full review.
For the moment, though, not having heard much about it before getting it other than that it had a lot of weird-fantasy type stuff (slug-men, crab-men, etc), I was very surprised to find that the setting aesthetic made the impression on me that this is the best Arrows of Indra supplement ever.
I mean, particularly if you want to Gonzo-up AoI, but even in general, there's a lot of stuff here you could pretty well use straight-up.

If you like Yoon-Suin, you may want to chat with the author so you could create a AoI "conversion" document as a free download for both Yoon-Suin fans and AoI fans. Might be useful cross marketing.
Is Yoon-Suin gonzo? Or is AoI less "fantastical" than standard D&D?

I would say "Phantasmagorical".
Quote from: Just Another Snake Cult;822760I would say "Phantasmagorical".
I much prefer phantasmagorical.
I don't think Yoon-Suin is gonzo. That's definitely not the intention. I think Pundit means adding elements of it to a more traditional mythic India would gonzify it.
Please define phantasmagorical. I'm unsure what both of you mean in context of the game.

Sort of fantastical and dreamlike. More expressionist than realist.

That is what I mean. It would weird-up the traditional Indian mythology-setting.
