Game and Story Use
- An incursion from Faerie, perhaps?
- Smugglers could be paid handsomely to bring weapons and supplies to guerrilla forces.
- Indian troops and supplies wishing to get to the Northeastern parts of the country must pass through a 15 mile bottleneck between Nepal and Bangladesh (which can be seen here), so this region will likely see a lot of long-range strikes and acts by Chinese saboteurs, since China will want to slow down Indian supplies as much as possible in the event of such a conflict.
- Given the long and deep occult histories of China, Tibet, and India, the conflict could also play out in the occult underground of an urban fantasy campaign.
- Shangri-la may just be expanding its borders a bit…
- …or it might be an incursion of Leng into the waking world, which could be much less fun.
