New player/ GM  Ive been reading and skimming the forums I was wondering about adding Oriental Adventures to the setting.

Any thoughts?

Sure! A while back, I had an idea about a group of samurai lost in a snowstorm and mysteriously transported to Hyperborea. You could easily have any OA-type class arrive into Hyperborea under similarly strange conditions, then either use them in an isolated fashion or even have them set up a secret society where they begin training others. My belief is that Hyperborea is ripe for cross-genre gaming. Only real question would be whether to simply re-skin an existing class (change the fluff) or use the existing ones as templates to build something from scratch by mixing/matching abilities and powers. Let us know how it goes!

I’d recommend reading Joe Salvador’s Forgotten Fane of the Coiled Goddess for information on the Lemurian Remnant.

There was an OSRIC adventure published a few years ago called "The Frozen Wave Satsuma" that would be a perfect hook for such a thing.  And I just found this online:

Satsuma looks still to be under copyright

We don't want to undermine the work of folks creating content for us.

What? Me worry?

Wasn't sure about that; just found a link and copied it.  Sorry

Incidentally, I did pay for my copy, as I got it in the Advanced Adventures hardcover compilation through Lulu.
