Art of Wuxia™ (pronounced roughly woosha) takes the things that make other d00Lite games (BareBones Fantasy™, Covert Ops™ & FrontierSpace™) great and brings a new genre, complete with cinematic wuxia action.

Wuxia tales are some of the oldest stories told. They are marked by honorable heroes who fight evil, wherever they find it. The action is full of melodrama, incredible swordplay, and high-flying kung fu. The word “wuxia” loosely translates to “martial heroes.” The xia (or heroes) of these stories wander the lands righting wrongs, fighting for righteousness, removing oppressors, and bringing retribution for past misdeeds to villains of all types.

Just as BareBones Fantasy loosely reflects the myths and stories of medieval Europe, Art of Wuxia loosely reflects the myths and stories of ancient China, especially as portrayed in wuxia films.

This game was designed to help you create the characters and stories from your favorite wuxia books, shows and movies. It is extremely fun with a press-your-luck game mechanic that never fails to bring exciting game play to your table.
