dbo:abstract
  • Kindred of the East (deutscher Titel Kinder des Lotos) ist ein Pen-&-Paper-Rollenspiel, das in der fiktiven Spielwelt Welt der Dunkelheit (World of Darkness) angesiedelt ist. Die Reihe erschien beim US-amerikanischen Verlag White Wolf. Von Feder und Schwert wurde aber nur das Grundbuch in deutscher Sprache veröffentlicht. Das Spiel entstammt der „Classic World of Darkness“ und beschreibt den asiatischen Teil der Spielwelt, wobei es einen von „Classic World of Darkness“-Spiel Vampire: Die Maskerade losgelösten Vampirmythos etabliert und verschiedene Elemente des „Classic World of Darkness“-Spiels Wraith: The Oblivion einfließen lässt. Dem Grundbuch folgten im englischen verschiedene Erweiterungsbände die zusätzliche Aspekte der Spielwelt beleuchteten. Außerdem erschienen unter dem Logo „Year of the Lotus“ auch Quellenbücher die sich mit asiatischen Versionen der Gestaltwandler, Wechselbälger und Magier befassen, deren westliche Pendants in den „Classic World of Darkness“-Spielen Werewolf: The Apocalypse, Changeling: The Dreaming und Mage: The Ascension vorkommen.

  • Kindred of the East is a tabletop role-playing game book and game line released by White Wolf Publishing in February 1998 for use with their horror game Vampire: The Masquerade. It is part of the World of Darkness series, and is the first and main entry in the Year of the Lotus line of Asia-themed books released throughout 1998. The book covers Asia as it is portrayed in the series' setting, with a focus on China, and introduces Asian vampires called kuei-jin as player characters. These subsist on chi, and are created from humans who have done evil during their lives and return to their bodies after death. Following paths of enlightenment in the hopes of attaining a higher state of being, they participate in kuei-jin courts and oppose the demonic Yama Kings who are anticipated to rule the world in the coming sixth age. The game was designed by Robert Hatch, with art direction by Lawrence Snelly, who took visual inspiration from manga. It was supported by a line of supplementary books which further describe kuei-jin society and paths, and was adapted into other media including a short story, comics, and a live-action role-playing game; the kuei-jin were also featured in the video game Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines in 2004. Kindred of the East was generally well received by critics, who liked its gameplay, setting, mood, and artwork, but was criticized as portraying Asian people and cultures in a stereotypical way. (en)
