Description
Smilin’ Jack came from a very unique D&D setting. The idea was, what if you combined medieval Europe with the Old West, then imagined what said Old West would have been like if Japanese settlers landed on the West coast at the same time that European settlers landed on the East coast, and then met in the middle. The result was a fusion of medieval Europe, Old West tropes, and samurai culture. From that setting came Smilin’ Jack, one of my favorite D&D characters I’ve ever played. Betrayed by his old gang, Smilin’ Jack’s mission in life was to track down all his former associates who had turned to crime and take them out one by one.
