So, since I am masochistic trying out new systems, I thought I'd give one last system I've been meaning to try a whirl. I love chop-socky wuxia action, and LotW seems to be right up my alley, so here we go.
Number of Players: 4-7(ish. We'll see if people have really good ideas if we get to hat number)
Premise: The Empire is in a shambles. The Jin Emperor has disappeared, and is rumored to be a pirate on the high seas. The Crown Empress has gone mad with power, using her beauty and wiles to manipulate the court, raise taxes, and execute those who disagree. The courtly eunuchs have left the Forbidden City, and are rumored to be instigating a new religion to undermine the authority of the Royal Family. The barbarians of the north have descended upon the northern allies and vassals of the Imperial Family, claiming that they are the rightful rulers of the Empire, as the Jin dynasty has lose its virtue in the eyes of Heaven. The Sun family, stalwart supporters of the Imperium and allies to the throne, have quietly seceded, and are beginning to war south in order to gain more land and resources to survive, seeking to preserve their dignity in these troubled times. Out of all of this, the Minister of the Left, Shen Xiu, has sought out powerful and capable members of the Wulin, and granting them the titles of Magistrates of the Court, tasked them with finding peace and security for the Empire. Can you do so, even with all these forces arrayed against you?
Note: I'm new to this system, so being new is no deal-breaker. We can learn together!
Thanks for reading, and I hope to see you here!
