Finding a good kung-fu/anime game is surprisingly difficult, as they're either too rulesy (Exalted, Anima) or they're loose enough in how they're set up that I can use one of my already existing rulesets and don't need to buy a new one.<a href="http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=63931" target="_blank">Spellbound Kingdoms - T. Shield Studios | RPGNow.com</a>I'm pretty intrigued by this. Tactical combat without resorting to the use of miniatures. It's the sort of thing where I can see doing an Assassin's Creed or Thief type game. One of the rarer games that looks like it can _actually_ be played with just a GM and a single player. Games that can handle one-on-one play are difficult to find, especially when lots of suggestions you'll get will be something like "D&D Gestalt!!" or having the Player (and/or the GM) run several characters to cover the "weaknesses" of the primary character.<a href="http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=65407" target="_blank">Darkness Without Form: Secrets of the Mimic - Sean K Reynolds Games | RPGNow.com</a>I picked this up along with a couple of other things for a project I'm working on. Seems fine but it's honestly not the sort of thing I imagine GMs letting players mess around with. I picked it up since I had been thinking of a parallel sort of thing and was curious to see how it had been handled, given the uncommon sort of idea that it is.2 things I'm strongly looking to purchase, just waiting for money:<a href="http://www.animaprimerpg.com/main/" target="_blank">Anima Prime: Steambots and Megaswords -- The Animated Action RPG</a>I dig a number of things about this, including the fact that it's one of the few games out there trying to do what it is. The rules are available under the CC, so purchase of the book is more a matter of supporting the creator than a _need_ for the rules; especially since I rely on an iPad for all my pdf needs; purchase of physical product is a rarity for me now.<a href="http://celstyle.com/?p=292" target="_blank">Cel*Style Pre-Order Bundle!</a>These are games that I'm not 100% pre-disposed to like, but what they're trying to do is rather different compared to most rpgs. They're inexpensive enough, not offered digitally, and at least one of 'em looks usable for introducing some folks to rpgs. Covering some of the same sort of space that <a href="http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?cPath=&products_id=20630&it=1&filters=0_0_0_0&manufacturers_id=2751" target="_blank">Best Friends - BoxNinja | RPGNow.com</a> is I think, though of course having different rules and premises.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />That covers me since XMas. I've money in on a kickstarter project or two and otherwise... I don't know of anything I need to get for the next year.  *shrug*</blockquote>
