Tianxia: Blood, Silk & Jade opens the door to a new world of adventure for players of the Fate Core System Role-Playing Game. Players take on the role of wuxia, wandering Kung Fu fighters in a fantastical setting that celebrates the epic dramas of Chinese film and literature. Based on a mix of the Wuxia and Kung Fu film genres, with a healthy dose of original concepts, the world of Tianxia is unlike any other currently in publication. Players are encouraged to use their imagination to create unique heroes to explore this new setting. These heroes are armed with the mystic powers of Chi, and able to call upon a new, unique set of Kung Fu stunts created by Jack Norris. Tianxia: Blood, Silk & Jade is the first in a line of role-playing game books that work with the Fate Core System rules (available now from Evil Hat Productions). The first book offers a unique set of Kung Fu rules that helps players and game masters recreate the kinds of high-flying action and adventure you've seen in movies like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Hero, and more! With copies of Tianixa: Blood, Silk & Jade and their Fate Core System books in hand, players have all the material they’ll need to take their Fate Core game into the Wuxia genre. The print version will be full color and hardcover. We're going with the larger 8.5 by 11 inch format to really show off the color art inside. The book runs roughly 200 pages at this point, but we will be adding more content based on feedback during the course of the Kickstarter Campaign. This means backers can participate by playtesting during the campaign. Who are the Creators of Tianxia: Blood, Silk & Jade?
