Publication history
editOA3 Ochimo the Spirit Warrior was written by Jeff Grubb, with a cover by Jeff Easley and interior illustrations by Jim Holloway, and was published by TSR in 1987 as a 48-page booklet with an outer folder.[1]
Reception
editMichael Mullen reviewed the adventure in Space Gamer/Fantasy Gamer No. 81, and concluded that "Ochimo, the Spirit Warrior serves as a moderate introduction to the more Chinese elements of the world" while providing a background timeline for the major civilization of the mainland. He noted that while the adventure is intended to be used for characters of level 5-7, with seven pre-rolled characters included, "you may find that the players should bring characters towards the upper end of that scale, or maybe even levels 7-9. The players face some major opposition, and well played, there should be few characters left standing at the end of the adventure."[2]
