The Celestial Empire (BRP)
The Celestial Empire' is an old phrase used in Classical Chinese to describe the Chinese Empire. In the original Chinese writing¸ the phrase literally reads 'Heavenly dynasty' - 'Large country'¸ which renders both the size of the country and the fact that the emperor was considered as having directly been mandated by Heaven.
"This book is thus a historically accurate roleplaying game about Imperial China. Yet history-based does not mean boring: depending on the game master's inspiration¸ The Celestial Empire may capture the exotic bewilderment of The Journey to the West¸ the virile excitement of The Water Margin¸ the investigative astuteness of Judge Dee¸ or the kinetic fantasy from Hong Kong fiction!
