Through the looking glass (wushu game)

[Peasant Phill]

Ever since I've read about the RPG Wushu, I wanted to play/organise one. Not many of you may know of this rules light system but it seems ideal for forum use and is easy to learn.

Rules of wushu

A short example of play:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

In a scene where Lacie falls in a pool of her own town tears, she struggles to get on dry land. Dice cap is 6, her player has to throw at least 2 yin (defensive) successes every round to prevent her from losing chi. The scene is also near its end as Lacie’s player only needs to throw 1 yang (offensive) success to end it.

Her player describes:
Lacie feels the strength in her arms ebb away which is quickly replaced with a stinging pain. She can see the sun breaking through surface of the water getting dimmer and dimmer. A feeling of resignation takes control of her for just a moment: “This doesn’t seem so bad…”
“No she can’t give up now!” With the last ounces of strength left in her frail body, she thrusts towards the sun. Lacie breaks the surface near a large piece of wood. She climbs on it and crumples in a ball of exhaustion.

Now for the resolution:
Lacie’s player has described enough to earn 6 dice (the cap). He divides them evenly between yin (defensive) and yang (offensive). He also reckons that the most relevant trait Lacie used was her trait pigheaded 4.
The player rolls and gets yin 5, 5, 3 and yang 2, 6, 4. Every die equal or below 4 is a success.
This means that Lacie loses a point of chi (needed 2 successes and rolled only one) but it’s alright as she still has 1 point left( if Lacie went in to negative chi, her player would lose his narrative power over the scene). It also means that the scene has come to its conclusion (2 yang successes rolled, 1 needed), Lacie’s player gets to describe a coup de grace.

Coup de grace:
Seconds pass, minutes, hours? Lacie isn’t at all aware of the passage of time. A soft thud wakes her from her catatonic state. Her makeshift raft had drifted against the embankment of the pool. The girl leaves the piece of wood for dry land and exclaimed firmly “that’s the last time I’ll let THAT emotion get the best of me”. Lacie then wanders further into this strange land.

In short, everything can happen as long as you can imagine it (and it stays within the consensus of the group).

This first game will be played in the style 'Alice in wonderland' (dream logic, bizarre confrontations with bizarre characters, ...) but won't be the actual tale.

This game will require of the players to participate at least once everyday. Although it won't take more then a few moments.

Players:
Seon
Beskar

Diamondeye?


I'll keep it the number of participants to these 4 members but I'm still looking for reserves.

If there are any more questions, don't hesitate to ask.
