ALL THINGS BRUCE LEE

[Bedrockgames]

Also, no discussion of Bruce Lee and MMA is complete without this famous scene:

New idea: in Dungeons & Dragons, levels are just how big you are.

It's literally just a weight class. so by the time you're 20th level, you grown to 8 ft tall and weigh 700 lb.

I don't how I feel about that as a class option. I am picturing something very animated. But I had an idea when I was doing wuxia and kung fu campaigns, that you could make each school of martial arts a class and allow for fairly heavy class dipping mechanically (but with very in game restrictions----like you need to convince a particular master to teach you, join the martial arts school you want to learn from, or steal a manual). I thought that might work good for kung fu and wuxia movies. It is just a matter of how finely you want to categorize styles. Another way I thought of doing it was with specific techniques. So you could take five levels of the Eighteen Subdoing Palms Technique, then one level of Jiu Yin White Bone Claw, and three levels of Emei Swordplay. Some techniques might only have 1 or 2 levels, some might go higher.

Weirdly, I have never seen a Bruce Lee film.

me 'neither.

I've watched a good number of Jackie Chan's films. He's fun.

most Wrestling inspired games use this route of having class = style eg “Aerial, Brawler, Technical and Power” and then build using skills and manoeuvres.

Weight class is also very important in Wrestling too, so maybe Level adjustment is in order

One of Jackie Chan’s first movie appearances was as an extra in a Bruce Lee film. Bruce actually hit him pretty hard in the head with a stick nearly causing him to black out. The filming continued unhalted, but as soon as the take was over, Lee immediately rushed over and apologized.

Edit: let the man tell his own story:

 

[Ryujin]

Well Chuck Norris did train "with" (aka "under") Bruce Lee, so.....

I think when you are making a martial arts game it boils down to whether you are making one mean to be grounded and realistic or one that is more cinematic. For Kung Fu inspired games, I'd overlook weigh class as size isn't important in the cinematic logic of that genre (or at least it is not as relevant). For a more realistic game I might make weight class an attribute.

I'm not sure if Bruce Leroy is permissible here, but now I want to rewatch The Last Dragon.

There's no wrong time to rewatch The Last Dragon.
