[OOC] WD's Dragon Fist

[Walking Dad]

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]

Great! Let's hope for more interest

 

[Voda Vosa]

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]

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.

HM

Wil have to give the rules a once over after the holiday weekend.
...

Seems we will be playing

 

[HolyMan]

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.

[Pentius]

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

...Work in progress. Character creation could be... simpler.

 

[Walking Dad]

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
