I have no clue if this will ever come to anything, but I'm making a TTRPG (Table Top Role Playing Game) based around the Wuxia settings. Mainly because I couldn't find one, and it sounded fun to make.
There are fun troupes like coughing up blood if you get too angry, possibly killing someone from anger, heart devils, tribulation lightning, alchemy, formations, and more. But I'm curious as to what kinds of things people think would fit well into such a game?
The core stats that characters have will be Qi, Spirit, and Body. Based on the 3 main cultivation paths found throughout many novels. Plus a large amount of skills that people can specialize in such as Alchemy, self control, formations, meditation, karma, etc.
The things already included:
Breakthroughs to new realms
Tribulation lightning
Heart Devils
Anger points ("He was so angry he coughed up a mouthful of blood.")
Inheritances
Skills (Alchemy, Formations, Meditation, etc)
Karma
Keep in mind no novel specific things will be added. Only general things like overcoming tribulations, finding inheritances, preparing for breakthroughs by consuming pills and things like that.
Things are in very early stages at the moment, but I would love to get some input from fellow Wuxia fans. So what are some fun troupes, ingredients, items, sayings, or other fun things common throughout Wuxia novels as a whole? Or anything you personally think would be fun in such a game.
Also any name suggestions for NPC's that will be included as characters in the core rules are very welcome. No matter how many novels I read I just can't seem to come up with Chinese names.
