Melee Academy: Martial Arts Style – Tán Tuǐ

Posted on October 27, 2019October 27, 2019 by Christopher R. Rice | No Comments

  While preparing for my wuxia campaign, the Middle Kingdom, I wrote up a couple of styles for my players to use. The following was one of them. Technically, Tán Tuǐis mostly a series of forms or sub-style. I really stretch the GURPS definition of a martial arts style, but it’s cool and thematic and I […]

Carpe Blogiem: The Middle Kingdom Primer – Optional Rules

Posted on October 22, 2019October 22, 2019 by Christopher R. Rice | No Comments

Like my previous posts this one is kind of an “outloud thinking” post. I’ve discussed doing research on Chinese history and folklore, the general thrust of the campaign, and how I was approaching character creation. This post is going to talk about the general optional rules I’d be using for the campaign. First, I decided […]

Carpe Blogiem: The Middle Kingdom Primer – Introduction

Posted on October 16, 2019October 16, 2019 by Christopher R. Rice | No Comments

I previously did a primer series on my Chronicles of Ceteri and Aeon campaign setting (both of which are currently unfinished – I will finish this one damn it) and it was so well received I decided to make it a “thing” on my blog. So, here’s the intro for my newly minted wuxia wainscot […]

Carpe Blogiem: Ruminations on a Wuxia Campaign V

Posted on October 15, 2019October 15, 2019 by Christopher R. Rice | No Comments

Like[TBA] my previous posts this one is kind of an “outloud thinking” post. I’ve discussed doing research on Chinese history and folklore, the general thrust of the campaign, how I was approaching character creation, and what cinematic/optional rules I would be putting into play. This post is going to talk about all of that and […]

Carpe Blogiem: Ruminations on a Wuxia Campaign III

Posted on October 9, 2019October 10, 2019 by Christopher R. Rice | No Comments

Like my previous posts this one is kind of an “outloud thinking” post. I’ve discussed doing research on Chinese history and folklore as well as the general thrust of the campaign, this post is going to talk about the more mechanical aspects of the campaign. First, I decided I would not be using the chi-based […]

Carpe Blogiem: Ruminations on a Wuxia Campaign II

Posted on October 8, 2019October 10, 2019 by Christopher R. Rice | No Comments

Like my previous post this one is kind of an “outloud thinking” as I work through my notes, sources, and mind to tie together a campaign. I think the first thing I need to get right is the atmosphere. Wuxia is not just martial arts, flying fist, and furious action. It’s a mindset. The protagonists need […]

Carpe Blogiem: Ruminations on a Wuxia Campaign

Posted on October 7, 2019October 7, 2019 by Christopher R. Rice | No Comments

Ahhh, that new campaign smell. I know, I know, you’re thinking “Dude, this is like the third one in as many months. What gives?” Well, what gives is pretty simple: If a campaign doesn’t spark for me I don’t force it. That way lies burnout for gaming period. My players mostly understand that. The DF […]

Melee Academy: More Psionic Martial Arts II

Posted on August 5, 2019August 5, 2019 by Christopher R. Rice | No Comments

GURPS Psionic Powers offers a way to create psychic characters using a powers framework. GURPS Martial Arts codifies fighting styles in an easy to use block. In Pyramid #3/69: Psionics II I created the first fusion of these two books with “Mind and Body”. Here is another martial arts style that never made it to […]
