This is an actual play write-up of my solo adventure using the
Fate-inspired lightweight F# role playing
system in a WuXing setting. It’s a
solely aspect driven game.
WuXing
is a d20-based ninja rpg by Eloy Lasanta. It features a
Naruto/Avatar(The Last Airbender)/Ancient China setting, Wuxia-style.
So, I really like the setting, I think Eloy did a great job on the
different ninja clans, but I didn’t want to use the native Dynamic
Gaming System because it requires a bit of book-keeping and I’m still
very new to solo gaming.
Thus I decided to mash it up!
John Fiore’s solo engine the
9Qs provides an
adventure framework for me.
Setting
Wuxia-Action, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Geishas, Samurai & Sake!
Ninja crusade against the Izou Empire!
Death can come in the blink of an eye!
