I’ve run quite a few wuxia one-offs (based on tournaments or the fall of Shaolin or whatever) but I’m a bit stumped about what I’d like in a campaign.Assuming you’ve got buy-in you could just have a longer one-off structure with clear limits on character options (e.g. “You are all junior students of the Mount Hua sect which has sadly fallen from its former position at the head of the orthodox sects; however, the Heavenly Demon, the immortal martial arts genius who nearly overthrew the world of martial arts a century ago,  has returned to reform his Cult and aims to conquer the Imperial throne itself. Only a true master of Mount Hua’s Thirty-Two Peach Blossoms Style can hope to defeat him”).If you want a wider range of character options then you kind of have to explain, as usual, what all these wonderful snowflakes are doing hanging out together and cooperating. I quite favour the Dragon Fist model here - give them a single enemy that threatens the entire world of martial arts and possibly the world, such as the demon emperor Jianmin. What has Jianmin taken from you personally, PC? What will you do to bring peace to the land once more and restore the Mandate of Heaven to a righteous emperor?</blockquote>
