Well, since I'm shortly planning to play a character who's (at least partially) a Taoist, I'd better read up on Taoism. Anyone know any good resources?

Crivens. Taoist, Nordic berzerker, assassin, gambler, technopagan and I'm not quite sure what else yet but already the mix is scary. I tell you, scaaaaaaaaaaary.

It gets better- I would never play something so stereotyped as a Taoist Akashic without a twist or two, hehe...

And there was me thinking you were asking about a L5R character.

If you're in a mood to buy books, I can recommend the Tao of Pooh (and if you like that there's the Te of Piglet).

I loathe The Tao of Pooh. Benjamin Hoff, the author, came across as an insufferable ass, I though. Very condescending.

If you already have a good grounding in Taoism yeah, he would.
It's very much a starting point, very peter and jane. (about right for my intellectual level - at the time I read it it was anyway)

If only you'd said before I came to visit; i've got a copy of the Tao Te Ching [well, a translation of it...], though I think you can actually download the whole thing online if you look around.

Look up the Guttenberg Project online.
It has the Tao Teh Ching as a free download as well as a net accessable resource.
