Core Rulebook

Click to Order

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.
• Oh yeah... and the Core Rulebook PDF itself!!

Longzhi is a light fantasy campaign setting detailed in the Art of Wuxia. The core rulebook comes with a black and white map within, stretched across two facing pages, and a handful of pages describing the history, lands, territories, organizations, belief systems, customs, languages, economy, and more. If you want to play in this setting and require a larger map than comes in the book, pick up this 12"x18" poster map. Or, grab the graphic image and print at home, in case you want to mark it up for your own adventures!

Longzhi is divided mostly into three main political regions:

• The Dragon Empire: This is a sprawling empire which covers the largest continent. Its main geographical division is the north-south divide created by the Mountains of Change. South of the mountains is a vast, sprawling, bureaucratic, and prosperous nation composed of large cities and wide areas of wilderness. The lands north of the mountains are also claimed by the Dragon Empire and indeed it holds several large cities, but the majority of the north belongs to the ghost tribes, nomadic people who travel with the seasons.
• The Demon Lands: According to many legends, the Demon Lands were the site of mythic battles in an ancient age. To be sure, the land is fraught with environmental perils including parched deserts, unpredictable volcanoes, endless marshes, frozen tundra, sheer cliffs, deep chasms, and blistering geysers. It is also said that great evils and terrible beasts stalk the land. The truth of the matter is really only known to the people who inhabit the few towns found here, and the legendary rangers of Bastion. Only the rangers of Bastion brave the deep wilds of this untamed land of ancient myths.
• Jin: Also known as the Great Eastern Kingdom, Jin is a constant rival of the Dragon Empire. It is ruled by tyrannical sorcerers who may have learned a bit too much of ancient Ming sorcery. Fortunately for the Long Dynasty, these sorcerers are too preoccupied with furthering their own goals rather than unifying against the Dragon Empire. Wild stories talk of warriors from the Magic Mountains, wielding strange powers who keep the Jin Sorcerers in check.
