[OOC] WD's Dragon Fist

Walking Dad · Jun 24, 2011

This is an older wuxia game by Chris Pramas (Green Ronin).

It is a variant of AD&D 2nd, with it's quick play and randomness, but introduces also some clever mechanics and uses later edition staples, like high AC is better.

Is there interest in a light hearted wuxia fantasy game that celebrates the stereotypes of the Hong Kong martial arts movies?

Might be interested. I remember downloading this way back when it was first posted, though I have never had a chance to play it.

Walking Dad · Jun 25, 2011

Great! Let's hope for more interest

Voda Vosa · Jun 25, 2011

I'm always interested in martial arts thigies and chinese things as you know, from my 4e game in which you were a player. It was a ice experience for me, although the system was not meant to play characters like that. I'm thrilled to play in a systen that takes that sort of characters as the norm, although I'll probably need help with the rules.

Walking Dad · Jun 26, 2011

The rules are pretty easy and straight forward.

Character concept
Roll abilities (4d6, drop lowest, arrange as you want)
Choose class and kit
Increase two ability stunts
Roll HP
Record Equipment

(choose thief skills / spells)

Ok, I will start if I got at least 3 players

From another thread:

Thinking about it WD but am tied down this week. If I do I want to be a fighter wielding a tetsubo two handed. Big and Brawny with earthquake attack.

Seems we will be playing

HolyMan · Jun 29, 2011

Looks like - LOL

As it says above I wish to take the big brawny fighter role. Will have something done up after the holiday weekend for sure.

I'm interested as well. Never even heard of the system, but I'm giving it a read now.

Walking Dad · Jun 29, 2011

Ok

Some notes:

- as advised in the rules, we will start with level 3 characters (you rolled 3 times for your HP, but you wrote 'Fighter 1').
- There are not static ability modifiers. You decide the kind of stunt you do each round and roll then.

I miss a D3 in the dice roller
