Hearts of Wulin: The Measure of the Soul (8 sessions)

We will be playing the supernatural playset of Hearts of Wulin across eight sessions. Players take the role of skilled martial artists in a world of rival clans, conspiracies, and obligations. The game emulates films like Painted Skin, White Snake, A Chinese Ghost Story, and other supernatural wuxia films and television.

In these tales, romance is as dangerous as a blade. Everyone has ties to factions, loves they can’t quite express, and secrets which will shake them to their core. As in the source material, stories in Hearts of Wulin are driven by the characters’ duties, romantic desires, and entanglements with other characters.

Attending all sessions is ideal but not required! You must RSVP to each session you wish to attend.

This session is scheduled for 3 hours. I will email everyone a week ahead to confirm attendance. Sessions will be recorded through Zoom for reference, but only released for public consumption if all players consent.

For this game we will lean heavily into the supernatural themes, and will take inspiration (but will not directly emulate) chinese folklore and horror stories.

CW: Body horror, supernatural hauntings and monsters, strong themes of horror. Romance and other strong emotional ties.

Safety tools: we will be using script change, lines and veils, and an open door policy. These safety tools are subject to change if it’s best for the table. This game follows The Gauntlet’s Inclusivity Policy.
