Description
Publisher Blurb:
Behold the Raft of Stars!
This free sample PDF discusses the Chinese admiral and explorer Zheng He (pronounced jung huh) and his massive treasure fleet's effect on the western Europe of the Kingdoms of Legend campaign setting.
Included are a few new ship stats for the enormous junks in the armada and a few new gunpowder based explosive devices. This PDF is a companion of sorts to the book Kingdoms of Legend: All Hands on Deck!
