I love me some Ars Magica.

What Wuxia game are you looking at?

For the wuxia games, I donā€™t know if Iā€™ll run them, but Iā€™m very curious how they handle the genre (Iā€™m a huge wuxia fan). Thus far I know of Weapons of the Gods, Qin, Legends of the Wulin, legend of the elements, and of course Gauntletā€™s own Hearts of Wulin. I also have a list of games that I think games in the genre could draw from, like street fighter, wuxing: the Ninja crusade, l5r, tenra bansho zero, jadepunk, even exaltedā€¦

I guess one day Iā€™d also like to make some sort of wuxia based game but now with them making HoW, I need to first decide what I think is missing :slight_smile: and I want to understand the prior artā€¦

Edit: and yeah ars magica is a work of beauty in so many ways. I also really love their take on mythic Europe. Sometimes the rules on rules on rules that come in the extended books can be a bit overwhelming, but the core of the game is so cool. I want something that feels like that for wuxia (though less complex for skill resolution etc hah)

Iā€™ve run a bunch of Legends of the Wulin. Love it but the crunch can be a bit much.

Oh nice! Yeah, I guess Iā€™m trying to find a game a little more mechanically motivated than Hearts of Wulin[1], but that can capture the Wuxia vibe with a reasonable amount of crunch. This is a hard ask.

[1] Iā€™m actually super excited about this game and I think they made awesome decisions (the way they handle fighting is absolutely on point for what theyā€™re doing with the genre). That said, I think there is space for games that focus on other aspects of Wuxia :slight_smile: For example, Iā€™ve been thinking about a sort of blades of the dark inspired game where everyone is running a martial arts sectā€¦

My only goal at this point is to find a fine group of people in my social circles to run OSR game for this year. TotSK is probably what Iā€™ll initially run to get myself into the groove but other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

#1 is trucking along and should be releasing soon!

And while Iā€™ve run #2 once, I havenā€™t gotten a series up yet, and I havenā€™t started work on #3ā€¦

Hmm, I think I need to set up a November gameā€¦
