“But they never got into a land war in Asia, because they knew about the most famous of the classic blunders” AH, I see you are a man of culture as well.
@@LegalKimchi seriously, man, your script writing is great. The jokes land, but don’t detract from the substance. The substance presentation is simultaneously clear and actually interesting. The writing, combined with your delivery, is strong enough to just listen to on its own, without video. Really great stuff man! Keep it up!
Since I saw the stream where you talked about this event, I've wanted to put this in my setting SO BADLY. The moment when he tells his son to take up his armor and not let the crew know he's dead? PURE INSPIRATION. Thanks for the extra resources on this! The possibilities for a pirate themed campaign are truly endless! Also, the classic blunders reference? I got that reference! Lmao!
Yeah. He is whole thing just on his own.... and that "age of samurai" documentary didnt even mention him during the episode on the invasion of Korea...
Yooo, i YELLED when you said Yi Soon Shin instead of just Yi. I wasn't expecting to know who this was. But i have a Yi Soon Shin comic sitting on my shelf right now. It's brutal.
I like the idea of technology slowly lowering the power gap between spell casters and regular people . The book ( and To a lesser extent the Netflix series ) of “ 6 of crows “ implements that . While it never quite gets to the point where the grisha are on the same level as a armed soldier it keeps getting closer and closer.
Oh man the idea of the family guarding the secret to black powder, plus Korean-culture-inspired Pirates gives me an idea for a plot about a pirate kidnapping a member of the family and forcing him to forge the first cannon, thereby changing the game for ship-to-ship warfare in a magical world…
I was waiting for a mention of The Admiral: Roaring Currents (which is how I learned about Admiral Yi) -- glad you didn't disappoint! Very much enjoying your recent content.
@@LegalKimchi You know, I'd love more episodes talking about taking inspiration from different KDramas and JDramas when creating campaigns. One of my favorites is Chuno/The Slave Hunters. But Great Queen Seondeok is up there as well.
@@NeilAitken more recently, kingdom on netflix is a good starting point for a korean horror campaign. it takes place immediately after the imjin war... except... with zombies. to be honest, i don't get to watch as much kdrama as i would like, so movies are my main source of inspiration.
I really like your style and many of the topics you cover so far. Great job bringing some of the Korean history to life and pointing folks in a direction to learn more. I also like that you have presented another option to reference besides the standard Chinese and Japanese cultures. I'm aware that the peoples of China, Japan, Korea, and other nearby countries see themselves as quite different from each other, but there has been little made available (that I am aware of) that actually demonstrates that distinction. Your video gave me some good material to chew on and how to set them up as apart from each other and maybe some friction points between them. I think there will be some enlightening moments for my players in the future as they begin to learn the distinctions between cultures.
Subscribed after the video about disability representation but thanks for this one essentially in my world setting there is a pirate Republic based on very loose democracy the Jane Empire is being run by ogres who basically cultivate peace and Stillness to help keep the empire they run from being consumed in a reality Rift created by Atlantis basically this helps with some nuances as far as I remember the Admiral routinely got demoted because he refused to play the political game which was a flimsy pretext
Watching this I resonated so much with what you've said. I'm a white guy who's major is Korean for bg, but there is so very little information in English available on traditional Korea so trying to find elements to adapt for a D&D campaign can be rough, especially considering Korean websites die within about 5 years, making sources precious resources indeed! I also like that you addressed that the Koryo Hall of Adventurers had some flaws - one of my gripes was the country map is literally the Korean peninsula and a peninsula'd Japan side-by-side. I just discovered your channel today and I'm thrilled to subscribe and continue seeing your videos regardless of the content, but I'll keep my fingers crossed you explore more Korean-themed D&D material in the future!
In the note of the common people, prince Gwanghae-gun, kind of shunned by his father and pushed to rule without the throne in the mess of the war, is not also of mention or to at least just pull the inspiration of it?
I love this content, thank you for posting ! Timely as I'm creating a soldier, possibly a general, for an upcoming game and I'm looking at East Asian influences for her.
I just came across this great video on the Imjin War and wargaming. Thanks for posting. One question if anyone sees this and can help: Can anyone point me to a good source or sources for painting guides for Korean and Japanese ships during the war??? Also, any info for Korean and Japanese army painting guides would be helpful as well. Thanks in advance.
Y'know, I thought this video was gonna be all on the history of the Imjin War specifically, which is why I passed on it originally - I don't need to go down the Imjin War/Sengoku Jidai rabbithole AGAIN - but, no, it's almost all hooks and ideas, and I'm kicking myself for not watching it. also, admiral yi. 23 battles and not a single vessel lost, what a HARDASS.
Loved this video. Honestly there's so many moments in history that can serve as inspiration for rpg stories, it's really good to incorporate them. (And I'm not just saying that because I'm a historian xD)
“But they never got into a land war in Asia, because they knew about the most famous of the classic blunders”

They also never bet against a Sicilian when death was on the line....

That's what I'm talking about. Pirate dnd has sooo much potential
6:45 Love the little "j/k, I love you mom" pop-up. :)
i'm just happy someone noticed that
I learned about Admiral Yi from Extra Credit! Oh, man. He was cool.
Yeah. He is whole thing just on his own.... and that "age of samurai" documentary didnt even mention him during the episode on the invasion of Korea...
Found out about Admiral Yi from Extra Credits, and I'm fully psyched to learn more about the context here because it sounds FASCINATING!

Thank you! Admiral: Roaring Currents is amazing. Choi Min-Sik is amazing in everything. Old Boy was a revelation.

@@LegalKimchi Loved Kingdom - and yes, a fantastic starting point for a Korean horror campaign.
Slowly catching up with your content. Every video time spend well.
I think a video about engaging with other cultures as someone outside of that culture would be pretty useful and interesting

Love that!
I have a joke that all great DND campaigns eventually become pirate games, so I'll definitely be lifting lots of this for my next campaign
Looking back on my D&D career, and damn, I think you're right.

Welp, I better go tell my friends about my new (Cough) TOTALLY ORIGINAL campaign idea.
That starter is a great funnel idea !
This is great stuff! Thanks!
Good stuff, thanks for sharing it!

Very nice idea. I am curious to hear what you think of the drama Kingdom as a campaign setting.
as a zombie movie fan and a fan of korean history... it was amazing. i loved it.
@@LegalKimchi yeah, I think Kingdom is a beautiful DnD campaign already written ahah
