	Firstly, it can refer to a specific set of [[Setting Aesthetics]], where the "default" neo-Medieval European trappings of traditional fantasy are removed and replaced with those of Asian or "Oriental" fantasy. Most consider this aesthetic synonymous with Japanese fantasy, but it can also refer to Chinese, Korean, Indian, or a mashup of two or more of these regions - the Japanese/Chinese/Korean mashup is particularly common, since a lot of real-world fantasy elements are actually shared between those three countries in real life.

	Secondly, it can refer to either of the two [[Dungeons & Dragons]] sourcebooks created to provide advice on running D&D with this setting aesthetic. The first version was written by [[~~Gary Gygax~~]] ~~himself~~ for [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] 1st edition, whilst the second was written by [[Wizards of the Coast]] for 3rd edition. The books are somewhat contentious in terms of quality (and a notorious habit of the 1e OA book's pages to literally fall out in every city and nation that had a copy), with complaints for the AD&D1e version especially about the overt focus on low/historical fantasy settings and the overabundance of clunky, unneccessary "like X class, but Japanese!" classes and oriental weapons.		Secondly, it can refer to either of the two [[Dungeons & Dragons]] sourcebooks created to provide advice on running D&D with this setting aesthetic. The first version was written by [[David Cook]] for [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] 1st edition (while being credited to [[Gary Gygax]] for sales purposes), whilst the second was written by [[Wizards of the Coast]] for 3rd edition. The books are somewhat contentious in terms of quality (and a notorious habit of the 1e OA book's pages to literally fall out in every city and nation that had a copy), with complaints for the AD&D1e version especially about the overt focus on low/historical fantasy settings and the overabundance of clunky, unneccessary "like X class, but Japanese!" classes and oriental weapons.
