i am just getting started looking at this (i recently printed it out into a 3 ring binder) - i hope u continue the project! do you have a website/insta/etc?
Hi there! I recently stumbled on this project, and I think it's incredibly cool. A mixing of fairly simple OSE-ish rules and martial arts goodness was exactly what I'm looking for, and the way it handles creating your own techniques is ingeniously simple. I've been having a fantastic time doing a solo game with this system. If you're still working on this project, I'll be happy to support it in the future!
I was curious about your intention regarding common enemy NPC's. Think your simple bandits and such. Should enemies like that have similar stats to those from Worlds Without Number, or should be they comparatively weaker than PC martial artists? Alternatively, are Martial Arts common enough that anyone expected to fight should have some amount of training in them? I've been debating which opponents to give martial arts/counters, and am curious about your take.
hi thanks for your comments and its great to hear you're having a good time playing with it in solo play! i'm glad you noticed the common enemy NPCs, it is indeed there by design.
first is that in most wuxia media there's alot of common fodder, be they bandits, town guards, rival school disciples etc, that's there to be defeated swiftly and in style by the protagonists. the most memorable things about them are what main weapons or technique they use, which is why they are given a martial arts choice.
as my players got higher level, their damage output started scaling higher and i needed more sturdy mooks to give them abit more of a challenge, which is why there's higher level "versions" of the basic enemies.
in general anyone whos had experience fighting say soldiers or towns guards, or those with alot of time on their hands such as nobles, would have martial arts training, but not farmers.

great job! following this project! Please tell me the Flying Guillotine comes from the 1975 movie
Yes it is! Alot of elements are based on wuxia movies, comics, novels and stuff my players came up with during the campaign.
