How so? Last I checked, the title is "Oriental Adventures", not "Oriental Adventurers"... as far as I've ever heard or seen, the word is only considered offensive when used as a noun or adjective to describe people, not when describing a style or mood as it does in this instance. If you want to prove otherwise, I might have to go down into the city and tell all the nice folks of Chinese and Korean ancestry in the area that they can't use it in the names of their businesses.

Tbh I think they are right, it is kinda racist, but the title is part of the heritage of D&D. If you actually read the 3rd edition version there is an editorial that talks about how attitudes have changed in the 20 or so years since it was first published for 1st edition. Imo if they do release a similar supplement for 4th edition they'll probably call it something else, seeing as they're shaking up so many other things. --86.152.126.241 (talk) 20:06, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
