What people have said about Yoon-Suin

"Yoon-Suin remains for me the original OSR setting and a huge inspiration." - Tom F

"One of the most original and fully-realized settings period in DIY D&D or otherwise." - Zak S

"This is probably one of the most impressive gaming supplements (let alone campaign settings) that I’ve ever come across...I can’t recommend this enough: this is a must-have for any DM or game designer. It is a fantastic work." - Necrozius

"My mind is blown. This artifact...is a labour of wonder. It is as stepping into a very idosyncratic storybook, with step by step instructions on how to have a magical adventure within. It is 300 pages of love, allowing endless adventure." - Hack Slash Master

is this easy to have in a Pathfinder campaign or does it strictly go with D&D format

You could pretty easily port it across. The stats are for BECMI D&D, but they are fairly minimalistic.

How compatible is this setting with the vanilla D&D flavour of fantasy? I.e. Would I be able to drop in modules made with that flavour with no trouble?

Probably not without a bit of reskinning, but I have a 'vanilla' (ish) high fantasy setting in the works which replicates Yoon-Suin's format for somewhat more 'Western' campaign world. The art is currently being produced for this.

Sadly not at this time. There was a POD version available via lulu, but they no longer print the format. I am currently putting together a 2nd edition so it will once again be available in physical form!

There was for 5 years, available on lulu, but sadly due to the book's unusual formatting lulu can no longer produce it.

It's a pity Lulu aren't able to do this in print.
Gutted.
A P.o.D here would be wonderful

Sadly, I don't think this site could produce the format. I'm afraid anyone seeking a print version will probably have to wait for the 2nd edition - sorry to disappoint.

This doesn't seem to be on Lulu anymore. Any chance you'd consider putting up as a Print on Demand here? Failing that, reposting it on Lulu would be nice too.

Nevermind, I just tracked down your thread on Reddit. Too bad about Lulu. I'll be keeping an eye out for the Revised Edition if you ever get to it. I recently got DCO Remastered and I'm happy I spend my money twice on that product, honestly. I'm sure I'll feel the same about yours.

PS. I know most Movie and Dramas are way over the top with characters that would be 20 level in the game, Im thinking of of being allowed to play White Snake from the original story or a Fox from "Strange Tales from a Chinese studio."

Im a big fan of Huli Jing( Chinese shape shifting foxes) and other Chinese shape shifting animals . Does the supplement allow one to play a Fox like in " The Woodcutter and his fox wife" or " Legend of the Green hill foxes" or a Snake person like Ling in Chinese Paladin 1 , or any of the White Snake /Green snake stories.

Its rules agnostic, so you can drop any rule set into the setting. As to your snake person character concept, it should work quite well, as there's a number of gonzo elements in Yoon Suin, though it is more of a Hindustani/Nepalese flavor than say, Song Dynasty / Chinese. Could easily work, however. One of my players is from 'Fabled Khitai' and borrowed heavily from chinese lore for his character. All the characters are foreigners to the setting, and are exploring it as outsiders.

Considering this is a campaign book, which specific OSR system would you recommend running this with? What are the monsters, the extra class and all that made compatible with?
Reply

Ben G October 27, 2018 8:01 pm UTC

Typically OSR (Yoon-Suin included) is most compatible with old D&D from 1981. Check out B/X Essentials here on DTRpg, that's the one I like best. Other similar systems: Labyrinth Lord, Lamentations of the Flame Princess, D&D Rules Cyclopedia etc. All of these systems are more or less equivalent to 1981 Basic/Expert D&D by Tom Moldvay and David Cook (and later Frank Mentzer), which is generally called "B/X". A little farther out but still roughly compatible would be The Black Hack and related Hacks.

Out of curiosity, do you comp or discount PDF copies for those who buy the hardcopy?

Sorry for the late reply! No, there is no discount on the PDF but if you buy both print and PDF and email me, I will send you a special bonus Yoon-Suin dungeon called The Halls of the Shimmering Stars in the Deep Blue Firmament.

Hello David,

Yoon-Suin print and PDF purchaser here. How can we contact you about getting "The Halls of the Shimmering Stars in the Deep Blue Firmament"? I don't see a way to email you directly here or at Monsters & Manuals. BTW, I've been running Yoon-Suin w/lightly modified DCC Lankhmar rules and it's worked out really well so far.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
