What is Hong Kong Action Theater?

and how about using the I Ching for making up wire fu moves? listening to a player try to come up with the name for some super spiffy flying martial arts stunt move based on a hexagram from the I Ching pronounced in butchered chinese is hilarious. and getting to take 20 attacks at once. can't beat that, not even with a big stick.

i love that game. miss playing it. I think i will try to get my current group to consider some one shots from that system.

Fill me in, please. How does the system work, if it has one?

I read that title and had the picture of Hong banging a big metal gong while acting out/miming fighting scenes.

You know...

Hong Gong Action Theater.

I think I need sleep.

Never picked up the triad book. It happened at a poor time in my life and by the time i had money again, i couldn't find it and the game belonged to GoO. But I loved the original game. The flavor was awesome and the rules made for some amazing nights. Maybe again sometime.

zen, if you (or anyone else) are interested in the Triad book sometime, send me an email: I still have some copies of it, and would be happy to sell them or to trade for other gaming stuff.
