Wuxia / Monk Gestalt Campaign - Anybody Tried It?

[Malin Genie]

I've seen mentioned here on these boards a couple of times the idea of a wuxia campaign, where every character has monk levels or is monk-gestalted, to help create a chambara/ Bruce Lee / Jacky Chan / Ang Lee sort of ambience.

I'm thinking of running an adventure along those lines for our group's next one-shot, and am interested to know if anyone has actually tried running it, and any advice they may have!

Thanks in advance for any replies!

Not yet, but I really want to! We've got two campaigns on-going right now, though... hrmf.

That's a sweet idea. I'm going to have to file that away for possible future use. Another cool gestalt idea someone around here mentioned was having everyone be sorcerer/X. All the characters would be from a sorcerous family. That's another one I'm going to have to use someday.

Gestalt is definitely in the power range for Wuxia, I'm going to have to swipe that idea myself for a high-powered game in that whole genre.

Ya know, thinking about it some ... I really like this idea. Considder it yoinked. ^_^

Additional nice thing - with the /Monk gestalt, there would be alot less dependance on magic items to provide personal abilities for non-spellcasters. Definite bonus.
