Platinum Best Seller Icon

Art of Wuxia has gained platinum best seller status at DriveThruRPG. Only 1.44% of products make it.  I’m thrilled. When I was designing Art of Wuxia I was told if I could sell 100 copies it would be a success.  Well, now just over a year later we’ve sold over 1,000. So, thank you to my wife who was a tremendous support, my friends and playtesters and to all of you I met at conventions and those I haven’t that have bought the game. I hope you have had some excellent games.

To celebrate here is a new kung fu style along with a new kung fu technique that should be able to be dropped into any AoW campaign:

The Path of Rivers and Breezes
Style Type: Internal
Weapons: Improvised only
Techniques: Everything A Weapon*, Improved Landing, Iron Skin, Meditation, Mighty Blows, Suspension

Created by a xia who took life as it came, followers of this style often have a lackadaisical world view and wear casual but comfortable cloths. It is said the founder traveled to the famed Dragon Mountain to train with the masters of the Bowing Dragons but found the world views of their abbots to be too rigid. Any moral aspect marked as “totally” a character may have is considered to be a failing and something to work on over the course of their life. Dogmatic thinking is anathema to those who follow The Path of Rivers and Breezes.

Everything A Weapon
You are trained to see the potential in all objects for use as a weapon. You apply your kung fu damage as if you were trained in any improvised weapon you use. If your GM is using the Weapon-in-Hand wuxia option, you can always assume you have a small improvised weapon in hand at the beginning of your turn in combat.

New Genre Option

Weapon-in-Hand
Combatants may choose what weapon they carry to be in their hand at the beginning of any combat turn. Thus, drawing and switching weapons does not take an action if done at this time. If a different weapon is chosen at the beginning of a subsequent turn, the previous weapon is assumed to be dropped.

Art of Wuxia has done well for a niche product making Gold Best Seller within just  few months of release. Most importantly, the reviews and online discussions show that Art of Wuxia is making new fans of the genre and they are telling their own stories now.  I couldn’t be happier.

Just Released!!!
Play out the action seen in wuxia movies and TV shows with the exciting press-your-luck game mechanic found in previous d00Lite games!

In Art of Wuxia, players take on the role of heroes of Longzhi (a new mystic fantasy setting inspired by ancient China). Characters utilize their qi while raising fists, spells, and blades against tyrants, demons, and spirits who would spread evil on the land.

Embrace the three tenets of the virtuous hero. Run on water, climb on air. Wander the land and become the balance to the darkness and dread which ever seeks to invade the prosperity of the land and its people.

The core rulebook is 180 pages of skills, alchemy, qi abilities, spells, kung fu styles and techniques, weapons and gear… but it’s more than that. It contains all players and GMs need to create and develop characters through years of high flying wuxia adventure, traveling the land, righting wrongs, fighting villains and sometimes creatures only spoken of in stories. It even includes a broad brushstroke setting. Top it off with rules for magic item creation, poison, disease, adventure and villain construction, weapons of ingenious design and secret kung fu techniques that require adventures of their own to acquire!

Not only a stand-alone game, this book also contains skills, races, creatures, and spells which would feel right at home added to other d00lite systems, making this an excellent resource for GMs looking to add some wuxia to their games.

This product comes with an assortment of helpful sheets and additional items:

  • A Cultivation Log, a form-fillable PDF to track Cultivation Points at the end of a session. Or print it out and use it at the table!
  • A Character Sheet, form-fillable PDF in two forms (one with lines, and one with broad areas to type in). Use your computer or tablet to keep track, or print these out and use them old-school!
  • A Session Log, for GMs to keep track of all the friends made, foes slain, deeds done, etc. Like the rest, this is form-fillable or can be printed and used at the table.
  • Poster Map, for the setting of Longzhi. Print it at home or bring it up on a tablet at the game table, zoomed to wherever you’re adventuring!
  • Reference Sheets for the players and the GM, including summaries of spells, qi abilities, kung-fu techniques, and all the tables and references to help make a session flow smoothly.

Also released today, a poster map of the Longzhi setting, and the first adventure, White Breath Cave!

Inspiration for Art of Wuxia

These were the movies, TV series and books that had a direct influence on Art of Wuxia.
I could list so many many more that I liked. Some I liked more than those that impacted the book because I found them much after the game was done.
