You may or may not know that a revised version of Feng Shui, the action movie roleplaying game by Robin D. Laws has been in the works for a while now.
If you haven’t heard of the game before, the best way I could describe it would be to think of a Jackie Chan movie, where performing those crazy stunts is par for the course for the PC’s and bad guys alike. Over the top action is what this game is all about.
Atlas Games have just launched a Kickstarter to fund the project and make the new version as cool as it can possibly be. The project launched just over 30 minutes ago but it has already funded and hit the first 2 stretch goals. The next one is for a full colour rulebook!
If you love action movies I suggest you check the Kickstarter out - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/atlasgames/feng-shui-2-action-movie-roleplaying-game-by-robin
Edit: The Feng Shui 2 Kickstarter by Atlas Games (written by Robin D. Laws) is down to its last 29 hours.
It's already has nearly 3,000 backers who have pledged over $162,000, so it's well beyond the initial goal. However, there are stretch goals to add extra content all the way up to $211,000 still to unlock. So the more people that get behind the Kickstarter, the better it is for all backers.
At just the $10 backer level you get a PDF copy of the core rulebook (a 45% discount on the retail price) as well as immediate access to a PDF of the playtest version of the rules as well as a heap of of extra PDFs unlocked already from stretch goals. These include:
Fistful of Fight Scenes: Fistful of Fight Scenes presents 15 locations from contributors Robin D. Laws, T.S. Luikart, Jeff Tidball, Hal Mangold, Cam Banks, and other luminaries favored of the Dragons. Thrill to such cinematic classics as Warehouse, Temple, Ancient Fortress, Bamboo Forest, Ice Rink, Ski Slope and Battledome! Fistful of Fight Scenes rockets from a portal near you as a 32-page booklet for the Feng Shui 2 GM Screen and as a standalone PDF product. If you are a backer at the EVERYDAY HERO level or higher, you get the PDF for free!
Blowing up the Movies: This ebook by Robin D. Laws features essays on the key films of the Hong Kong-style canon, geared toward Feng Shui 2 players and GMs. From Things That Can Happen During Your Fights to storytelling techniques you can steal without violating copyright, use Robin’s action cinema insights to inject classic style into your games.
Burning Shaolin Redux: Atlas Games will fully convert the dual-statted adventure Burning Shaolin from FS1 to FS2, and from OGL to Pathfinder, as a PDF product available to all backers from the $10 EVERYDAY HERO level and up. Corrupt eunuch officials undermine a once-great ruling dynasty. A band of honorable warriors battles a demon sorcerer in a legendary mountain monastery ... a demon in dire need of some Kung Fu butt kicking! Pit your Feng Shui 2 heroes against Burning Shaolin’s demon monks, mushroom men and flying coffins. Or use its Pathfinder stats to introduce D20 diehards to the furious fun of the chi war.
Secrets of the Chi War: Secrets of the Chi War is a bonus product in electronic form that all backers at the $10 EVERYDAY HERO level and higher receive at no additional cost. Within the 16 pages of this newly-revealed document are adventure seeds and details of feng shui sites throughout the four core junctures of Feng Shui 2, plus a highly-demanded pop-up juncture: Enter the Octagon! The streets and shores of Hong Kong 1973 are open for your butt kicking pleasure. Battle the Ascended in the funky 1970's! Play the game of death! Fight the big boss (whoever he is)! And try not to end up floating face down in Tathong Channel.
The Secrets of the Chi War eBook has been since hit 5 further stretch goals to add more content to it. So it will now be much bigger than just 16 pages. However there are still another 16 stretch goals related to it that could make the eBook massive!
