Foreward:
This sourcebook was originally to be printed by the late lamented Chameleon Eclectic Entertainment in 1997. I proposed the sourcebook to Charles Ryan and he commissioned a 70,000 word book. The work took longer than I intended and before I could finish it, CEE became insolvent. I finished up some of it and put it aside, sorry for the loss. I discovered millenniumsend.com in 2001 and resurrected the work, but shortly afterward had a hard drive meltdown that I believed had claimed the files. It
wasn’t until 2003, when cleaning up a variety of computer-related junk, did I find that I had backed up an earlier incarnation of the files onto disk. They are yours now.
The Southeast Asia Sourcebook is taken from my personal experience living in Thailand working with Cambodian refugees, melded with the world setting of Millennium’s End. I hoped to present a holistic, all encompassing feeling that gave an experience as thick as Bangkok’s summer heat. Also, I wanted to provide a launching point for players in the great city of Sydney.
A note to the graphics: none were created for the book, but I used maps that were readily available from the Web and various atlases when writing and I believe that most players will be able to discover the real-world locations listed.
