Big List of Wuxia/Kung Fu RPGs
Okay, so for a while now I've been exploring different RPG rules sets for my next campaign. I've always been a fan of the Chinese Wuxia ("kung fu") genre, but assumed the only rules available were the old cheesy "Oriental Adventures" ones for D&D. But then I discovered the Wuxia Community on Google+ and was introduced to a big new world of rules for this type of storytelling. With some internet searching and big help from the Google+ community I starting building a list of games for Wuxia or other "oriental" play. This is my current list, in alphabetical order:
Here's What Your Barbarian Bard Plays: Mongolian Folk Metal
No, seriously. Mongolian folk metal. It's an actual thing. I totally promise I'm not making things up this time.
So to start at the beginning: I recently read about a Mongolian folk metal band called The HU from an article in the South China Morning Post. That was too intriguing to not check out...and it was totally awesome. Alas they only had two songs available on iTunes (both of which I basically immediately purchased). Then I spotted a third song on YouTube yesterday, entitled "Shoog Shoog", and the video was totally awesome. The music, imagery, and lyrics are just perfect for ancestors of the Great Khan.
But more than awesome music, it is perfect mood food for your more gonzo fantasy gaming "barbarian" peoples.
