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 - <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/atlasgames/feng-shui-2-action-movie-roleplaying-game-by-robin" target="_blank">https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/atlasgames/feng-shui-2-action-movie-roleplaying-game-by-robin</a>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!

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.
